  • "The wildest Z at Z-CON", coming from the Zaddy himself, Larry Chen, that means a lot. This wild machine took 12 years to build so you know it was absolutely perfect. This rat Z turned race car is a 1971 240Z powered by a Twin Turbo VQ35HR making over 600hp on pump gas and it only weighs 2400 lbs thanks to all of the carbon fiber parts inside and out but there's more, it also has Holinger 6-speed Sequential! This car is indeed WILD.
