Nice! Love the big motor in the Z. Is it american or did you use a newer Nissan/Infiniti v6? What was that dark car you were chasing after about 6:57? Looked like maybe a golf but it seemed to have some serious HP.

@pantablo Cant you tell by the low reving rumble of a V8 . The engine is a ford 302 . The dark car is nissan pulsar GTI Turbo very quick and nimble car .

[pantablo]

@240wookiee -wasn't sure if it was a v6 or v8. Should have known...

Also wondered if you would have used a VQ engine to keep it "in the family" so to speak, lol, but appears not. Nice sound to it. very nice video and driving.

@pantablo "to keep it "in the family"" I absolutely deplore this mentality. The whole thought of the best engine for a "Nissan" can only be a Nissan engine sickens me.

@AcomsRazor1776 -You're reading into it. I never said one was better than another. I happened to see this video after seeing several of another that had used a VQ engine. If one was going to install a V8 there are many to choose from, and in my opinion they're all good, so American or same brand wouldn't matter to me in terms of performance.

I thought it was nice the other one has used a Nissan V8 in a Nissan. Not that it was better than any other V8.Relax. If you want to rant, do it elsewhere.

Very very nice junked the six pot for a 302?

I like the relaxed positive driving, some just try not to let you through though.

Very nice vid. Seen your 240 at some meets, very nice car. Not been on track with my 350TT yet, but have a day booked at Anglesey on Jun 20th. Looking forward to it, will get some vids to post up...
