Credit veteran racer Steve Millen with the technique necessary to muscle-build a garden-variety Nissan 300ZX twin-turbo into a blood-thirsty beast, yet have it remain
docile enough to survive urban gridlock. His company, Stillen, offers this big-winged GTZ model for monied enthusiasts who don't want to travel unnoticed.
Though this car had suffered through over 15,000 brutal journalist miles and was beginning to show signs of fatigue, there's no faulting Stillen's formula of manner of
application. Its recipe calls for lots of boost, giant tires, race car brakes, and suspension finessing par excellence. But be prepared: The price tag is closer to
Neiman-Marcus than Wal-Mart and actually exceeds our $50,000 limit if you include the bodywork. Because the car is available without the extra appendages, however,
it was allowed to play in this test.
The raspy exhaust note signals that there's more than just 300 horsepower under this hood. Though we doubt that this particular motor is still producing a full 465 ponies
(judging by the acceleration times and knowing its history of hard track usage), the larger Garrett turbos, intercoolers, high-flow injectors and low-restriction exhaust
system certainly provide a rush--especially above 5000 rpm. Zero-to-60 mph takes just 4.7 seconds, and the quarter mile blurs by in 13.1 seconds at a trap speed of
111.9 mph. That'll put you fender-to-fender with any given Viper or ZR-1 on any given day, but be aware the fighter-jet bodywork and bee-yellow paint will probably
give away your game.
The chassis benefits from Stillen's perfectly chosen stock of springs, shocks and anti-roll bars, plus a quartet of Yokohama A-008R SII 275/40ZR17s. The handling can
only be described as impeccable, posting the fastest slalom speed of this test and 1.00 g of grip. The highway ride is a notch stiffer than stock, but is far from unpleasant.
1990-94 Nissan 300ZX
Engine: 3.0-liter Nissan twin-turbo V-6
Major modifications:Turbos, intercoolers, intake,
exhaust, computer
Horsepower: 465 (est.)
Transmission: Stock 5-speed man.
Brakes f/r: Brembo discs/discs
Wheels: 17x9.5 Stillen
Tires: 275/40ZR17 Yokohama A-008R SII
Other mods: Stillen body kit, Tokico shocks, springs,
anti-roll bars, Centerforce clutch
Price of modifications: $19,843 (includes labor)
For track use, Millen disconnected the stock ABS system and
added race-proven Brembo calipers and cross-drilled rotors.
They don't fade. Larger turbos and exhaust work add a
claimed 165 horsepower to the 3.0-liter V-6. The look-at-me
styling is optional, but bin-o-gauges in the glovebox is a neat
touch.
