In-car footage from the last weekend of roadracing at Mosport in the 2006 CASC Ontario GT Championships. Ahead of me (unfortunately for the whole race) is very fast - Buick powered Datsun 240Z. We are both lapping the field.

  • Other than the back straight I'd rather be in the Z around this track, you got to see turn two in person to realize horsepower isn't everything.

  • Actually - if you watch the video carefully - the Viper (driven by me) gains ground through most of the corners (turn 2 included) - but loses out on straightaways.

    The Viper is very well setup for this track, but the Datsun has a huge weight to HP advantage.

  • damn, that's really awesome... what's done to the viper, and is there any more info on the z?

  • The Viper is a 2006 Competiton Coupe. That's a factory built, track-only car. The Datsun, well, it's got a Buick engine in it! He's still racing it (the driver is 75!!!) - but this year the Viper beat him in all the races on the way to a second championship.

  • @brapboys503 Yup I save the Z06 for the track...straight or crooked...lol

  • @tangledline You have a Japanese touge monster set up for the straights? How DARE you? Lol.

  • ROFL Datsun 240Z you can pick up for 600 bucks rolling chassis, buy an RB30DETT, get it in. Max price, maybe 5,500 to 7,000, depending on what you do to the car. Comparing that to over a hundred grand at LEAST dumped into the Viper, it's kind of hard to like the Viper at this point.

  • If I had to guess, it's a 3.8 liter turbo that came in the G-body Regal GN and GN-X in the mid eighties. If you don't know about these cars/engines, do some reasearch. There's tons of info about them and lots of suppliers for aftermarket parts. They can make gobs of power.

  • did anyone find out the type of motor in this?

  • As much as I know that it's completely functional in this race, that wing on the datsun makes me want to vomit.

  • what kind of buick motor is in the datsun to make it move that quick

    

  • deathviper your car is cool props, but i would like to know more about this buick powered datsun do you know anymore about it? any pics or videos?

  • Maybe if you knew how to shift you would have won

  • Did you and that Z just freakin lap everyone!?
