This is Cliftons 7MGTE 240 Z.

Admittedly he is not a drag racer but this speed was still good enough for fastest speed of the night for "Street driven imports" and $500 bucks.

He was nice enough to let me run it at the end of the night, as my car is still up in the air (literally). I launched a little better, but (here come the excuses) its not my car, and it started getting away from me in second and I let out of it twice I think, and it was my first time ever dragracing. I got 128 @ 12.17 (I think) I didnt know where they handed out the tickets and the closed the booth before I could get back there. My run was the 5th to last, for the night. Also Clifton told me to watch out for 3rd gear, it was all sorts of wiggly in 3rd gear, listen closely to the video you can hear the tires roasting thru most of 3rd gear.

Enjoy

Nice TRAP! Although that car should be in the 10's with ease..Don't say a word SLOW 66 :D

Edit: What tires were used? Badass all the same!!!!and nice driving even though it wasn't your car.

MT dr's 275-40/17. I pulled the trans last night and will pull it apart tonight and see what's wrong with it, won't shift fast under load. If Andy gets his back together soon (hint) maybe we can go back out before it gets too hot. It was at 30 psi.
