350z 0-60 in 1.2 sec? check
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."

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.

It's a Cavalier
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.
It traps 188 mph and has a 6-speed manual transmission and an IRS!!!
