ok i'm kidding.....but yeah expect an $80k build easy for 1200 hp...and also expect most shops to be skeptical so they may ask for most if not ALL the $ up front....you will need a lot of custom work and the only place I have seen actually make that mark, and it pains me to say this is Vinny Ten Racing.

They made 1600 and ran 6.63 but in a $400K tube chassis drag car. They also had an 8.8 street tire car. I believe Carl Stevens Jr. drags a 350Z as well.
although PM was a cost no object race team. Vinny still operated the race team on a tight budget. those cars were not even close to 400k, mabey 250k each at the most and thats stretching it. and the 8.33 srteet tire car was limited by the driver had Vinny been driving a 7.50 at the very least

Once you hit $250K whats the real difference of another $100k...
How come Vinny never drove the street tire car? I know he drove the Pro RWD car..

Vinny was hired for one thing to build a motor program for the father and son race team. he was not hired as a driver although someone had to test the cars.

Oh yes....Injected has got to 1200 too....i forgot

Ok i'll make the OP a deal....for $5000 he can have my screen name so people take him seriously when he posts sheet like this...

Honestly NO ONE (that is not a pro race team) just out-right dumps $85k into a 350Z. It usually is a process, starting with a reasonable build with the option to upgrade (if it was worded that way I may believe him).

To the OP: i hope you are having a great time molesting unicorns in La La Land...you lose....thanks for playing

What else does the car have? I hope he didnt drop 85k on wheels, a rollcage, seats, steering wheel, and takata harnesses (guessed cause they are green)....

I kinda see a frontmount in the pic, but not sure.
