Greg Dupree ran 9.94 @ 139.78 mph tonight, according to sources on TwinTurbo.NET. This car is fully interiored (with subs and an amp), with a built engine, auto trans, and JWT Sport 700 turbos. The second I have more details, I'll post them! Congrats to Greg Dupree on being the first street trim 300ZX in the US in the 9's (that I know of at least)!

 

yea, I wanted to go!!!!!

 

with full interior even!
supa sweet!

he also still has his AC system...

 

i got to say wow. i hope my new tt will be half of that.

 

a 4.97 second 300ZX? Good luck with that...

 

or the other way around, I would hope that you could get it under a 20 sec 1/4!

 

Iv been waiting a long time to see that happen. Congrats to Greg and the gang for a job well done.. Thanks for sharing 4life.

 

I'd have to say that he practiced his *** off to get that. The Z hasn't ever been known to do that in Dupree's config. Plus, the Z has never been known to be a great drag car (that explains why it can beat cars that have much better 1/4 times). So, I'd say he is one hell of a drag driver. I already gave him props on another forum, but I'll do it again. Great job Greg.

 

Greg is an extremely knowledgeable person when it comes to tweaking a car. Greg is also an AMAZING driver! He has the fastest time in not only his own car, but in Charles Park's as well. Greg's setup is a little differnt than most sport 700 Zs out there....he has sooo many little tweaks, etc done to his car.

 

Now if Russel can just get his car to hook up..I want to see how close of a race it would be. He needs to get that thing finished NOW! And put it on the track..

 

Wow....and all while smoking a mustang too, just icing if you ask me
First vid on the internet that lacked nekkid women and still gave me wood, thank you!

 

That laggy dyno queen will be lucky to see low 10's with a huge shot of nitrous and full-out slicks...

 

It all depends on what you design the car to become. Russel focused on power and he did that. He has the highest horsepower Z32 in the country. I dont think russel intended on building a drag car.

BTW..if memory serves me right. I do remember that russel has managed mid to high 10 sec passes already. So he will give Greg's car a pretty good run I believe.

 

Thats pretty damn amazing ... PROPS to GREG !!!

 

Last I heard, he wasn't running anything better than consistent 11. And even if he's a high 10, a high 10 is a LONG shot from a high 9. It might not seem like a lot, but try getting into the 10's, and then try getting into the 9's... Pure power (Russels car) will NOT run the fastest quarter mile... the powerband is too short and too high up in the RPM's. Comparitively, Gregs car has a super wide powerband. Russels car will not be giving Greg a run for his money unless Greg spots him a full second (and that wouldn't be a race, that'd be Greg making himself feel good).


(if you couldn't figure it out, I have no respect for dyno queens. Anyone can build a car to make an assload of power, but not everyone can build a well balanced supercar. Look at the kilo-horsepower Supras....that run 12's... it's just flat out pointless.)

 

I would like to see Z shops racing each other in the future...Z1 against Greg Dupree or someone else like AMZ. Do a shoot out between the shops.

I agree about the comment about the dyno queens. I like watching them run the dyno. But they are just not streetable. And that goes against my practice of trying to build a car that is such.

 

in addition, Charles ran a high 10 sec 1/4 with stock turbos and motor that same night that Greg made his run. This is a stock car....high 10's for Russel's car, with all of his mods, is no feat.
