mikajody's 1978 Datsun 280Z

Tom Barnett's 1978 Datsun 280Z "Red Bird" road course track car. Full Chromemoly Cage.Electromotive Tec3r Engine Management.Turbocharged/Intercooled.SDI Stainless Fuel Cell/ATL Bladder.Four Wheel Wilwood Disc Brakes.Wilwood pedels and bias adjusters. Coilovers.Koni struts. Adjustable control arms front and rear, Quaife lsd with 3:54 gears. G Force T5 transmission.(The car is geared out at 166 mph at 7K rpm) Aerocarbon Carbonfiber Hood.MSA Air Dam.SDI Splitter.APR Wing.SDI Diffuser.Ultrashield Seats.Impact Racing Harnesses.Aeromotive Fuel Pump/Filters/Regulator.Safe Craft fire system. Autometer gauges. The engine makes 365 RWHP at 12lbs boost, 450 RWHP at 18lbs boost and is capable of some big number if I choose to run at 25lbs boost. I would really like to be in the Grassroots Motorsports Magazine Ultimate Track Car Challenge. I fell that my car qualifies for the Independent Study group because it was not built by professionals and we have spent many, many late nights building this car. It was two years in the making and I owe many thanks to my good friends in Winston Salem who have helped, guided and inspired me along the way.
