Found this gem a few minutes ago.

Oopps!! Where is the video?

SS_Firehawk · 04-17-2013, 12:24 AM

Fixed.

forza370z · 04-17-2013, 12:42 AM

Nice video.

Damn that 240 is badass!

axmea? · 04-17-2013, 01:08 AM

Fun to watch. Thanks SS!

370ZRR · 04-17-2013, 01:12 AM

That was a cool video! Be sweet to see them run at the same time with another equally skilled driver. Both cars sounded nice....

SoCalBoy · 04-17-2013, 01:17 AM

nice vid...two awesome Zs

Thanks for sharing

Makes me wish my '70 240 was running

SS_Firehawk · 04-17-2013, 01:28 AM

I was impressed by both vehicles. The 240 may have had a winning chance with ABS. Not a lot know braking is what really shaves time on a track. The difference between the two cars in autocross and the track is very revealing of that fact.

That is a beautiful and very well executed build on the 240z, but damn, the 370z sounded beastly as it passed WOT on the straight. Thanks for finding this vid.

12:09 was pure sex! That 370 sounded amazing. I like the 240z, but I think the handling was a little to sloshy. It seemed a little squirrely around the corners. I wish they would have picked the 350z with the BP kit! That would have been fun to watch also. Great little video though, i really enjoyed it.

Awesome Zs. That 370 sounds mean coming down the track. Of course the sweet tune of that rb is equally as great.

The 370 looks so good in that color! I wish Recaro would sell us the seats they designed for that car.

^This x10. I saw the seats at ZDayZ last year and they look SO amazing in person.

370ZRR · 04-17-2013, 02:31 PM

The alcantara seats and wheel look really good in person. The matte grey and the finish on the wheels look pretty good in the flesh as well.

I drove this beast for a little bit on the street and on the track at ZCON in Arizona and damn do I want twin turbo badly!!! The sound and power are amazing.
