This project started over 5 years ago to make a SCCA-spec car that would also be street legal. It started with a completely stripped 1971 240Z to which they added a IROC Z28 V8. The firewall and most of the transmission tunnel was removed to get the engine to sit as far back as possible. They installed a motor plate to strengthen the overall front end. The SCCA widebody kit added over two inches on each side which helps cover the custom CCW wheels with Kuhmo V700 305/30/18 in front and 335/30/18 in back. The exhaust is 2.5-inch stainless steel tubing with Magnaflow mufflers. Lexan will replace all the glass except the windshield reducing the car’s weight to about 2,200 lb.
