My goal for this 240z is to create a light weight naturally aspirated street car. By keeping the stock engine which is rare nowadays since everybody with a 240z wants to swap in a better and most of the time heavier engine. I want to emphasize on handling and not upsetting the balance of this great sports car. It might not be as flashy as a show car or as fast as a race car but I want to find a best of both worlds mixture.

You can download more videos of this car on the track at these two links:
