Hello All.

I’m new to the Z Platform but not new to the car community. I have a wealth of knowledge in the Ford eco-boost community and have helped out and worked on some of the fastest MK5 Toyota Supras in the world.

We at Panda MotorWorks are jumping in on the new Nissan Z. With that said we took my bone stock Z with just a drag radial (MT ET Street R 275/50R15) to the drag strip last Friday night. Myself and everyone at the track was very impressed with how the car performed. We ran a best time of 11.96@116mph in the 1/4 mile. More importantly we learned a lot about the car. I have posted some photos and videos so you can see the car in action. We will be posting a YouTube video very soon.

The 360 video is the little Z running a Hellcat Challenger with unknown mods but it did have a drag tire as well.

What do y'all think of the open diff?

Worth $12k to move up to the Performance model?
I have not seen an issue yet. I will install an LSD at some point but not sure at what point (power level). If you are road racing it would help out immediately.

116 with just tires is outstanding. People are trapping 116 modded with tires.
