Default 200+ MPH 350Z build thread

Hi My name is Dave and I work at ET Tuning in St Louis Missouri. We build specailty cars and do alot of race car work as well. We are currently in the middle of a Nissan 350Z build, that were calling " The Worlds Fastest 350Z ". This of course is a purpose built track car, that will be V-8 powered, will make about 1200 hp( on a very conservative tune up ) and should see a top speed of 230 to 240 MPH!

Im new to this forum, but not to forums in general. So If there is any interest in this bulid on here, I have hundreds of pics and will take the time to do a full write up, on the project thus far and will continue to update it very regularly until the car is completed. Yes thats alot of work, but very well worth it, if its appreciated.

Here is a sneak peak of what we started with, please speak up if you want to see more.

Wow guys, I really didnt expect this kind of responce especially so fast. This is very cool, and I'm definately going to follow thru, as promised and will do a complete write up in detail, with pics, no question. The only thing that I ask is to give me a little time, to get this done, its probably going to take me a week or so to bring everything up to where the car is right now.

Now just a side note, I designed this car myself and have done most of the work on it, with some help from everybody in the shop. This is a 250,000 dollar race car and yes I promise you its as crazy as it comes. If at any point you guys have questions, please fire away, happy to answer any and all thrown at me.

Heres just one more teaser pic and then Ill start from the begining and lay out the whole story.

Too be continued................................................... ............
