| 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."
so much want for that Porsche turbo 930 . 
definitely worth a read! Also if you haven't seen the movie, you can stream it on youtube - its in subtitles but a really good movie plus theres a girl with a sick r34 gtr

But other than that I have seen every car on display in DTP just by cruising about in Richmond, thank you very much for collecting them together and get someone to sing a cover for "fuck you".

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
