700-Horsepower 2023 Nissan Z By AMS Performance Hits Nine-Second Quarter Mile

AMS says the car ran a 10.15 at 134 mph right off the trailer, and we're betting it still has a little more to give.

According to the tuning shop, which famously built a3000 hp Lamborghini Huracan, it improved the times to under 10.1 seconds despite a 20+ mph headwind. Eventually, it hit the magical 9.92 seconds.

The team plans to take the car to the dyno to confirm the power figures, but as mentioned earlier, estimates put the vehicle at some 700 wheel horsepower. We know the car is north of 638 whp, thanks to a run on a Mustang dyno. Per the team at AMS, this should be the fastest Z in the world.

Quite the claim, but we've yet to see anyone challenge it.

You can read the complete modification list for this wild Z in the embedded Facebook post at the top, so we'll deliver some highlights instead. That includes Hoosier drag radials, two Pure 800 turbochargers, and a complete AMS-built exhaust system. During one run, the modifications resulted in a 0-60 time of just 2.59 seconds, well into supercar territory and a stellar time for a rear-wheel-drive car.

This is what Nissan had in mind when it built the new Z, and the community is already rallying around the car. By all means, this should be the tuner car for a new generation.

We can't wait for them to get a little cheaper on the aftermarket, which will likely only happen once Nissan can sort out itssupply and allocation issues.
