Would You Buy This 1991 Nissan That Is Faster Than A Bugatti Chiron For A $100k by Bmedels26(f): 2:47pm On Dec 30, 2017


See, there’s this lovely 1991 Nissan 300ZX up for auction alongside the Tokyo Auto Salon in January, with a five-speed manual transmission and, oh, just a few modifications. Japanese tuning shop JUN Auto got the car and took its 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 to 3.1 liters, modified the body, added turbos like you found on Porsche Group C cars to each cylinder bank and ultimately upped the car to about 1,000 horsepower



The 300ZX went to the Bonneville Speed Trials and hit over 261.9 mph, which, if we’re keeping count, is above what your precious Bugatti is capped at. The 300ZX was modified to be road legal once back in Japan, but the BH Auction listing says the engine is virtually the same as it was during the trials. The company expects it to go for between $71,000 and about $98,000, but it could always sell for more.

That’ll teach you to mock those weak five- and six-figure budgets, huh?

Of course, the Chiron can do more than 261 mph. Bugatti puts a limiter on the car at that number, which is below what its Veyron predecessor ran—267.8 mph without a limiter—in 2013. Bugatti test driver and Le Mans champ Andy Wallace doesn’t think the Chiron will go 300 mph without the limiter, because modern tires probably can’t handle the pressure of that speed.



But why spend $3 million on a car with a speed restriction, anyway? This 300ZX will give you all of its power and tuner pride, for about $2.9 million less.

Hmmm....kazeem would be,drooling to get their hands on that engine..... soooo much stuff to rearrange...and sooo much unnecessary parts!
Kinda cheap price tag....but should anything go wrong... the car has to go back to them to repair.... too much modifications. Nice car tho.
