How would a person go about reaching rick to pick his brain?

Rick's my neighbor, I've seen the car and riden in it before.

Little over the top for my taste, but well done ! To bad you had to do it to a low mileage rust free 280z, they're so hard to find in good shape these days. That car would've been better served cleaned up and restored and finding one to customize that wasn't so pristine.

This is one of the BEST z builds EVER done.

So awesome, Rick's attention to detail is stellar! Nicely written as always Max!

Wow Unbelievable!

Amazing article! That's one of the most well executed builds I've ever seen, and that's awesome Rick was able to document it the entire way. Well done all around

Great article Max... My American dream is a excessively big, loud grocery-grabbin' CTS-V wagon. There's just something about a luxury wagon that can melt its tires on errand runs.

Both you guys killin' it

Corey is killing it with his images! Another radical article!

What a monster; love it

Not to be nitpicky on an old article, but your statement that the transmission is shared with the Veyorn is wholly incorrect. The Veyron uses a Ricardo twin clutch 7 speed transmission. This has a traditional, single clutch Ricardo six speed.

At the Phoenix campus of UTI, Nicolas Cage donated a Ford GT to us. My friend Pete was lucky enough to be chosen to dyno the bad boy. At almost 570whp, our class was astonished. But this GT... It's just purely remarkable.

Got to meet this guy and his car several years ago when I took part in the Forum Wars. Here is his episode...

Insane, just purely insane. Rocky is right, it does define America haha.

before reading the article, i didn't know how awesome swirl pots were, or even what they were.

Badass all around car. Only a 10.2 at over 1,000hp (A 10 second street car is still awesome!)? Granted it wasn't built for the 1320, but with all the money that went into the car, I would have tried to get a bit better traction with wider wheels, boost by gear, some kind of traction control system or something I haven't thought of. It doesn't detract from the awesomeness of the car, but it is so close to a 9 second street car, and obviously has the power to run 9s that it is almost sacrilegious not to!

What is the top speed of this car ?

This car IS America! Great article, great shots. Love the mullet!

Man, he must have an awesome wife, for her to put up with him and his love of cars!!!
