I found this on Youtube. It almost seems fake. He must be travelling downhill, or with the wind to his back or something, maybe not? Its not my vid. Says he has 260z tranny. Cool vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXWSyYkLP-c

that's definitely possible with a proper build... the things is that doesn't look like a 720 dash at all... matter of fact... its not... just looked at the name of the vid and it says its a '77

dash looks like a 620. I think its the difference in the gear model which is causing the apparent speed. Also he launched too easy for it to be in second.

I know it's a 620, the only reason I posted it in the 720 forum is that it has a z24 motor.

yeah... i'm guessing the gearing is the reason for the mega accel... i'd like to see a dash cam for reference but i'm guessing the guy didn't make one
