500HP end of test day at cmp... playing around
 

With the tires smoked out and a LONG 2do list written up from 2 hard days of testing, we went out for 1 last session to just have some fun. The car was spinning the entire front straight when I let it loose... 3rd, 4th, and 5th!!!! I got a chuckle every time I came off of 14 to see two 13" wide black strips for hundreds of feet. We will obviously be taking measures to get the rear to bite down... but it was fun.

Over all testing was a success. We were well over 500whp... no temp issues no other drama to mention. Once we get the chassis and the tune tweaked to hook better, I believe she may be a contender!

Sweet! Looks like a ton of fun. I would love to see this thing in person.:tup::driving:

good stuf jay! 500rwhp and gutted... wish i could take a ride... oh wait.. nm that!

thank you

sounds pretty nasty to me! me likey! how does it compare to the GTR from last year?

side note: it's completely different seeing "the kink" (~1:09 during the vid) from the inside lol

also, how's the handling compare to say... when you drove my truck around CMP? :bowrofl:

It's definitely a far more analog driving experience than the GTR. Power for power the GTR is still a couple of clicks faster. We did a data overlay of a (similarly set up) GTR lap I did a while back, The Z is superior in braking, equal in lateral grip, but still lacking the off the corner driver the GTR is now famous for. However, theZ is out accelerating the GTR once it hooks, so that's the main issue we are focusing on now.

I may need you to donate you front axel... I loved the amount of grip your truck had at CMP!!!!

hahaha it's crazy just how well my 4500lb truck (with me in it) actually handles... it's not Z but it's better than a lot of other "sports cars"...

awesome jay! glad to see the z putting down all that new power. it was amazing n/a, i can only imagine what it runs like tt.

nice video

nice stuff Jay.

The car is a site to be seen....very nasty in all respects on track. :) Glad everything held together nicely. :)

cool video! What's rollling around on the floorboard in front of the fire extinguisher?

sand.... cmp is very sandy

i need your number mike. i've had 2 guys in 2 weeks want some powder coating.

awesome, thanks for the video. Is that the only spot you can mount the camera?
