Scott S recently did a track dat at Laguna Seca in the Green Z. Here is another amazing in-car video showing Scott chasing a talented 240z driver. Scott was running lap times of 1:42.32, 1:42.41, and 1:43.00s…he is quick! Turn up the volume to hear that VQ sing!

Scott also acquired a new, full race-spec 350z car to campaign soon:

Ladies and Gentlemen this means that the GREEN Z is now for sale!
