To all the guys who say it 'doesnt make sense' ......What doesnt?

The fact that someone actually wants to do something 'different'? We all could go 'round-and-round about which platform is better, but better for you YOU? The setups on both motors are pretty much limitless.....and before you get into cost, it DOESNT cost anymore to do an rb26 swap than it would to do a TT swap in an NA, and hell you'd be breaking even if you owned a TT already, sold all the crap, and did the RB26.

I chose the RB26 because I drag race. Yes, I could have gone out and purchased a fox body and dumped money into that and would be alot faster, but thats just not how I thought I wanted to do things. Yes, my setup is laggy because of the size of turbo, am I ok with that? Yes.....I could very easily have put a smaller turbo setup and made it a much friendlier street setup...i could have done a million things differently, hell I could have not worn underwear today.

I'm not pitching that everyone go out and do an RB26, because obviously its not for everyone, but for all those who just dont get it, take a step back for a second and look at the big picture. If no one ever tried to do anything different....where would we be at now?

Didnt the original Z's come with inline motors to begin with?

My project is done until the end of the year, Here's some pictures

The car made 485rwhp @ 14psi on pump gas, I will probably push it a little harder on pump gas before switching to race gas. I anticipate 700rwhp @ ~20-22psi on race gas

Some vids of it in action
