Great video but as expected I have a few gripes. First off he says it's made to be a track car yet he chose to use a stock fuel tank which is not allowed in any racing format except autocross and low level SCCA stuff. Next, Jay asked if he ever drove it as a stock 240 and he didn't. Jay was surprised and disappointed. These guys are way too eager to rip out the engines for something else. They said the new engine had to be modified to run without turbos and made about 230 whp but a good tuned L24/28 can get almost that for far less money. I guess he doesn't care about money though. Jay asked about the 4 lug wheels taking the power but Kang didn't understand and just said the wheels were made for them. It reminded me of Spinal Tap when Reiner asked why didn't they just make 10 louder. Guest's response was, "this one goes to 11". It's trendy to use skyline engines and use all those RB designations. Next That godawful Rocket Bunny body kit. Fast and Furious all the way! I guess since he was in it it's OK. On the postiive side I applaud him for making this car his own with what he likes and getting a new audience to appreciate the Z. Normally I don't like color changes but I do like the white over stock brown. I'd love to see and drive this car. |

Being one of the "old school" Z owners I could relate with what Jay was getting at when he questioned wheter Sung drove the car before it was modified. Jay "politely" moved on with the interview but but you could tell he felt they should have driven it more before the mods. The old Z's were pretty coold right out of the box. And as much as I love the old style faux wood steering wheel, I would not want to race with it and yes, I thought the body fit was ugly also.  Enjoyed the flick though. |
