Very true man...I have gone back and forth on this....and building a Z as a drag car is expensive as hell....I've pretty much become content with what the car can do on the 1/4 mile...its not the fastest car out there that's gonna break records, but its quick enough and can hold its own....
Overall the Z's a nice car...quick....great all around. ..but its not a great platform for a drag car IMHO......unless ur completely sponsored or got tons of money to splurge....or willing to do some serious mods like phunk....Dont get me wrong...phunk is doing a great thing with lots for others to learn from....but I just cant see myself doing all of that to my Nismo....My hats off to phunk....
Its cheaper to build another car as a strict drag car..but for a daily driver/head turner/road car for those spirited driving moments, the Z does it for me...the guys out here think I'm nuts to drag my Z and think I'm abusing it...to a lot of guys out here from where I'm from a Z is a car that you would floss....Although there's quite a few of us that own 370's out here u would only see 2 or 3 of us 370Z owners actually racing our cars at the drag strip.....you have a better chance of finding a big Z34 group out here at a Fatlace show ...Lol
