This 400-HP 2JZ-Swapped Datsun 260Z Is Gloriously Sketchy

From Road & Track

Remember the "Zero F***ks Given" RX-7 that blew up the car internet a few years back? Meet its new companion, this delightfully ragged, 2JZ-swapped Datsun 260Z. It's said to make 400 horsepower at the rear wheels-and it's rusty, doesn't have windows, and wears a ton of scars on its paint. In a way, its perfect.

Matt Farah of The Smoking Tire drove this amazingly sketchy car, and it's safe to say he was blown away. It might look like it's been through hell and back, and there may be loose shards of glass rattling around the interior, but it can seriously move. The 260Z's suspension has been heavily revised, with axles from an R33 Skyline installed to handle the straight-six's big power.

This 260Z looks rough, but everything under the skin is tuned to perfection. It's clinically absurd.
