Message If you people think that the key to going fast is by dumping money in your
car, then you are sadly mistaken. I know this is a bold statement, but its
the bitter truth. Let us say that 95% of the members here spend over $3,000
on performance mods. The avaerage 1/4 mile time is 13.1.....sad isn't it?
I've done the calculations, it's the sad truth. 300ZX's are weak machines.
Go ahead and say it. You know you can...300ZX's are slow cars that are
meant for driving at speeds under 90MPH on US and Japanese highways. They
just were not built for high speeds, hence the subpar HICAS system and other
failures that were featured in this dubbed "technology wonder" of 1989.
1989 folks!!! The car that many of you dedicate your LIVES to, was
developed during the 80's.

OK, now back to my point. Now that we've confirmed the fact that your car
will never be fast, let's move on. Imagine for a moment what could be
possible if everyone who had wasted $3000 on upgrades could have achieved if
the money had went to something more worthwhile. This brings me to myself.
I have watched as members like Ashley Powers, Greg Dupree and Kyle Puckett
(to name a few) have developed parts for this community. Enter Victor
Maxamillion. I am on the cutting edge of technology. I am currently in
development building a flying car. My base model is a 1990 300ZX Twin
Turbo. I am looking for funding to further develop my flying car.

Without giving out too many details, here's where I am so far. I've already
developed the hydraulic wings and rutter mechanisms and have them mounted on
my car. They are hydraulically put into place with a switch of a button
within the cab (wingspan of 7 metres). The material I used is a new type of
synthetic carbon ion charged hard fiber, allowing flex but with extremely
high tensile strength. The suspension has been modified to adapt for both
takeoff and landing. The car is technically suitable for flight. The only
thing missing is power.

I have yet to develop the 1000BHP needed for the conversion from land/air
vehicle. The engine not only powers the drive, but also the Hydraulic
components. The car will need a minimum of 967BHP to accomplish my
requirements. That is where the likes of tt.net will come into play. My
budget has been spent on the flight aspects of my 300ZXF (f - flight).
Power is where I need input from people like Kyle Puckett and Ash Powers.
Is the VG30 platform up to par with current powerplants made overseas?

I will be starting a fund for the tt.net members to donate their
upgrade/perfromance money directly to me. My Paypal account should be
active either tongiht or tomorrow at the latest. I will post a link ASAP.

I should also let you know that by donating, you will be first in line when
I begin selling the conversion kit commercially. There will be group rate
deals and unheard of bargains. I'm not doing this to advance my own
pocketbook, i'm doing this for the betterment of man kind.
