One bad ass Z-car. He is part of a crew that went around the USA street racing for charity.

Nate Schaldach from Fresno, California decided to fast-forward this combination to 2019 and shove a 427ci LS-based engine into a featherweight 260Z. Nicknamed “Z-Unit,” the 1974 260Z has been as far away as Kansas for no-prep shootouts, and is a consistent runner in the My Maleree Mae foundation’s West Coast no-prep events that helps raise money for children with cancer. What’s even more interesting is that the Z can be set up for any type of match race, and has different gearing and suspension combinations for 275 radials, 28- or 29.5-inch slicks, or 32×14.5s, which are the car’s “big tire.”
