On the YouTube channel Drag Racing and Car Stuff, a seriously fast Nissan 300ZX takes on some enthusiastic competition at the Street Car Takeover. The 1996 Nissan 300ZX goes by the name "Devil Z" and is the world's fastest stock chassis Z32. The Devil Z also appeared in The Fastest Car on Netflix. Take a look at the video to see this quick Nissan go head to head against an Audi sedan, a classic Chevy Nova, and a C6 Chevrolet Corvette.
The Devil Z Enters The Drag Strip
The first race of the video pits the Nissan 300ZX against a black Audi sedan. The brawny appearance of the Nissan is a stark contrast to the conventional stock appearance of the Audi. The Devil Z does a burnout and billows out some smoke before lining up at the starting point. The 300ZX speeds away quickly and immediately leaves the Audi behind. The eventual result of this trip down the drag strip has the 300ZX as the winner with an 8.90 second finish time and a top speed of 152.40 mph. In comparison, the Audi finishes in 11.35 seconds with a top speed of 120.72.
Next up is a classic Chevy Nova against the 300ZX. This time, each car does a smokey burnout and revs its engines a bit as they proceed to the starting line. This race proves significantly more competitive with the Nissan and Nova keeping pace with one another down the length of the 1/4 mile strip. Despite the Nova putting up a respectable fight, the Nissan ultimately ends up winning a second time against the classic Chevy. The Nova reaches the end of the strip in 8.99 seconds with a top speed of 151.22 mph compared to the barely faster 8.94 second finish time and 152.68 top speed of the Devil Z.
300ZX vs C6 Corvette
Last up is a Chevrolet C6 Corvette against the 300ZX. Like the Nova, the C6 Corvette proves to be a competitive match for the 300ZX. From the starting point to the end of the 1/4 mile, the Corvette manages to stay close to the 300ZX but despite the Corvette's best efforts, the 300ZX manages to keep a slight lead over the C6 for the entirety of the 1/4 mile with the Corvette never overtaking it. The eventual result of the race has the Nissan winning again, with an 8.96 second finish time and a 145.53 mph top speed. The Corvette finishes in 9.16 seconds with a top speed of 151.95 mph.
