Yes, it's true...
 

I'm actually going to be driving a Z car to the Monterey Historic Races @ Laguna Seca next week...

This "stealth" project has been in the works for nearly 3 years now.

For anyone who wants to see the unveiling of one of the sickest Z cars on the planet, you should come... :icon_super:

what time next week? I'd like to go:006:

that's too far away from me, but can i be assured that i will get to see plenty of it online after the race?

and will it be racing? or just being driven to the race?

Just being driven to the race. Actually, this car probably has more money in it than some of the historic race cars... ;)

I'll be there in the ZONC "paddock" on Saturday. Here's the link to the race schedule:

You can still buy tickets online for like $65 for Saturday.

There will be plenty of pictures after the "reveal"! hehehe

Are you talking about the '82 Turbo? The Jim Cooke Racing clone?

its the hood man, all the work is into that hood. :D

dang cant come, kinda far for me, otherwise id be there. take lots o pix, i really want to see.

Nope, it's not the Jim Cook Racing '82 Turbo.

P.S.
It's the original car, not a clone. I actually bought it from Jim's widow Sandy. :075:

This is a car I've been working on quietly over the last 2.5 years and is part of the reason the JCR car has taken so long. :048:

Now that this one is done, the JCR project goes into over drive.

im sorry ^^^^ but did you say done? thats blasphemy! cars are NEVER done. lol

Take pictures!!! PLEASE :)

I won't be able to make it but 3 years man, we better get pictures!

omg----he is now a superhero------omfg---wow--pix or i will come to you and make you let me touch her......omg......gooood work,mon!!!!------wow------i wish i werent so farkin gbroke that i cannot go there to see you and the car--mostly the car------PIX PIX PIX PIX PIX PI X :023::038::eek::icon_super:

LWW has Jim's car, but Z-hag is kayaking on Google maps... :D

i'm trying to look up the jim cooke car, but all i find is a parts supplier and a not-too-impressive 280ZX. is your car really the jim cooke car? and which one is it?

edit: i found the jim cooke car description in your "garage". good stuff. i don't know why this posted twice. sorry.

I just went and looked at that description in my garage. Damn, I posted that last year! It's hard to believe that project hasn't made much progress since then...

Now that this one is finished, the Jim Cook car will start to get the love and attention it deserves!

Let's see, a mild tune making about 500rwhp should do the trick nicely until then... ;)

dang one day im coming over to your shop there l-dub. i really want to go to the historics at laguna seca, one day. maybe ill bring the bob sharp car. well go racing.

There's a small gallery setup that I'll post here after the Historics. :icon_pidu:

Just mentioning the Monterey Historics makes me homesick :022:

Timo Glock driving a Toyota IMSA GTP racecar is gonna be awesome. I remember those cars dominating back in the day.

Global Warming is a farce!

Anyone who happened to be in the East Bay tonight got a chance to see the "new" Z at Union Landing in Union City... She made a "sneak preview" appearance at Krispy Kreme!

Now, it's back into the garage until next weekend!

you really don't believe in global warming zhag? was the ice age a farce too?

Ice age..lmao...global warming bunch of bs.

lol global warming isnt something new its happened before, people talk about global warming and dont know a thing about it. global warming is part of the world cycle you cant stop it. the problem is we are accelerating it and possibly making it more intense than last time. how do you think the ice age came about last time. just all part of the cycle

global warming is sucha farce--and the fake nobel given wasnt impressive either...this planet has been going thru these cycles a lot longer than we have been here--watch the penn and teller bit on youtube---they have the deal correct----human influence on this earth's cycles.....the water covering this earth was spozed to have been here already, but is overdue.....the co2 produced by humans and goats and cows and other sources isnt nearly as intense nor as earth changing as the volcanoes andother sources this earth produces by itself-----we are such absolutely arrogant idjits to think we are the sole responsibility for the destruction of our planet???there are things we can do and realistically consider for the improvement of our planet--but we cannot worry about things we have no control over ....use science not feelings for rationalizing the alleged destrucion of our planet-----watch penna nd teller--is another thread i posted and no one read......
