A Nissan 350Z-based dragster designed by driver John Bradshaw clocked an impressive 0-60mph time of just 1.2 seconds. The 1,900 horsepower car set the pace in the run up to the FIA European Finals scheduled for Sept. 10-13 at Santa Pod Raceway in Northamptonshire, England.

Using a 3.5 liter V6 engine, Project Zed will be the only car with a Japanese engine in the competition. Most of the other vehicles will use V8 engines from American manufacturers.

Don't let the fewer cylinders fool you. The car also goes from a standstill to 168 mph in 4.1 seconds. Bradshaw and his team have a solid drag racing history, getting a quarter-mile time of 7.68 seconds (177 mph) in a Nissan Skyline. Dubbed Project GTST, the 1997 Skyline RWD GTST set a record for fastest Japanese car in Europe in 2008.

Bradshaw is pretty psyched to finally have the car race-ready. He writes, "It's incredible to finally have the car ready to test now and we are all very excited by its potential. It really is a car that is capable of setting records around the world and just shows what a Nissan engine is capable of producing."

thats sick, imagine 0-60 in that time thats crazy

350z my ass

^^ not sure you would want that. 350z is pretty wide. might want to go for something thiner JK

That is serious power. Pretty cool if you ask me.

impressive numbers

Dear god that thing would snap my neck in half.

0-168 in 4.1 seconds is pretty nuts.

hmm....looks pretty stock to me. Still, at this point, when it gets this crazy, might as well go all out and get a top fuel ethanol burner with like 5000 bhp. 0-300 MPH (yes, mph) in like 4 seconds.

Jesus thats one fast Z.

With a hood that long it looks like they could have fit two VQ35 motors in there...

Damn good numbers though :)

350z my ass

:yelrotflm:yelrotflm

Goes like stink, looks like stink :P

Yah, but can it turn? No. He would pull away in the straights, but he would get caught in the corners.

Not impressed.

awsome numbers! can i have a go?????? PLEASE!!!!

i dont see why they insist on callin dragsters by their former names...i dont really see a 350

Damn thats fast!

weak

The guy in the background seems to be plugging his ears. I bet that car can be heard from 5 miles away.

weak

Actually, youre right. Weak. That is a dragster... not a 350Z or anything remotely close to what you could drive on the street.

Now, this is something I respect. This an actual Supra getting into the 7's. :bowdown: It traps 188 mph and has a 6-speed manual transmission and an IRS!!!

I'm pretty sure most people would end up shitting in their pants if they were able to ride shotgun.

The ms8 could beat that Z in reverse.
