Well its carbon fiber so it shaves about 20 lbs off of the car and also adds 50whp. I am saving up for a 3ft one now which should drop another 10 lbs and add 20 more whp.

Most ugliest? Eek. Regardless, the wing becomes a necessity in competition racing; we're not talking about Honduhs with big wings on them here. We're talking about cars competing down to tenths of a second or less, and the downforce the FUNCTIONAL wing provides essentially increases grip in the rear. The wings are usually removable, so in this case, function over form. Always MOD FOR A PURPOSE.

Oh, and BTW, that green 300z will run circles around 99% of the cars you know about. Both around a track and in a straight-line if that's where you want to go.

Good day.

Funny, those are the BEST looking Z's I've seen posted on this sight.

Function>form

Stick to car show threads if you think these cars are ugly.

I'll have to check to see what I have at home. Don't think I have anything on my work PC or that is currently hosted. I know he spent many hours building it and it is a full splitter, undertray and diffuser with the exhaust feeding into the diffuser.

Mr. Farrah,
It looks like I might make it there after all. Currently my Z32 is (still) in paint (hood), so no need to go to the LA show in a stock Z33 vert. ;-)

Cool-you'll have a good time. Do you think you'll ever enter your Z32 in a Time Attack? What happenned to your hood anyway? I noticed it at Greg's place but I don't recall anything wrong with it when I saw it at ZCON.

My goal is to drive a TA in my Z32, especially a comfy course like Buttonwillow or Thunderhill. It happened while at Zcon, so it wasn't as noticeable. Too much solvent stuck in fiberglass --> bubble the paint to outgas. Meh.
