Devil Z vs Blackbird
 

So I'm sure most of you know the story behind the Devil Z and Blackbird but this is a really cool article I stumbledupon this morning :)

Wangan's infamous "Blackbird" Porsche 930 Turbo

"Their ongoing rivalry transcended the course of years, with both the Blackbird and the Z being tuned and retuned time and time again, in order to keep up with one another. By the time the club had disbanded in 1999, the Z was making 680HP on a L30ETT custom setup, and the Blackbird was making well over 700HP on a stroked 3.6 Liter Turbo flat six. Both cars had gotten rid of almost half their weight through extensive weight savings research and development, and both were capable of not just achieving, but maintaining, a 350km/h speed through the Wangan straight stretch, for well over 15 minutes at a time in the mid 1990's.

To give you some idea of how impressive this is, take a look at the 1991 Lamborghini Diablo. A fast car, by any means, it topped out at 202MPH or 325KM/H. When it hit that speed, it was really stretching itself to get there, and could only keep that speed for about 3 minutes before the engine overheated."

I wouldn't say terrible. It has a really industrial look, the Porsche is elegant and feminine.

No. The Z is hideous lol

As ugly as it is it hauls ass.. Would still bag.

blackbird HNG

I dont know if there is anything that can get me as excited as a monster 930.

didnt thumper posted this already

also every time i see "blackbird" & "devil z" together makes me wanna play some MT, i dont know why just a feeling

possibly a repost! I searched for a devil z blackbird thread I couldn't find anything.

blackbird is driven by an older doctor, z by a younger boyracer type guy. the cars reflect the person behind the wheel

the z is kinda ugly, but the porsche looked like this
