Z06 Corvette vs 2JZ 240SX | Driver Battles

The last time Peter Hong brought his Nissan 240SX S13 to Driver Battles he only just barely lost to a driver who put up the fastest time in Driver Battles history. Unfortunately for him, it’s going to take another huge effort if he’s going the win this time against Jake Rozelle and his Corvette Z06. Both cars have seen engine swaps, aero added and gobs of power, so if you like fast cars and quick times, this is the episode of Driving Line’s Driver Battles for you. 0:00 Intro at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway 1:11 Jake's C5 Z06 Build Breakdown 2:20 Peter's Nissan 240SX Build Breakdown 4:37 Driver Battles: Time Attack Rules and How To Compete 5:27 Time Attack Hot Lap 7:37 Impressions from the Track 9:52 Final Track Results Let’s start with the cars, which have both been transformed from stock into time attack missiles. Peter Hong’s 1989 Nissan 240SX S13 may be the same base car as the last time he was on Driver Battles setting the second-best time in series history, but it’s now a much different, and faster, car than before. Most importantly, the old SR20 engine has been swapped out for a much more reliable 2JZ putting out 600hp. He has also added a Comp turbo 6062, 350Z transmission, AEM Infinity ECU, tons of aero, Wedsport TC105X wheels and 315/30ZR18 Nitto NT01 tires all around. While Jake Rozelle had initially intended for his 2003 Corvette Z06 to be his daily driver and part-time track car, an 800hp Lingenfelter LS7 swap under the hood reveals that that plan went out the window a while ago. On top of the new engine, he has added a TR6060 close ratio transmission, Ignite E90 fuel, JRI shocks, Wilwood disc brakes, Forgeline wheels and 315/30ZR18 Nitto NT01 tires all around. With both drivers sporting years of seat time behind the wheels of their respective cars, along with a ton of power, both are gunning for the best time ever set around Chuckwalla Valley Raceway. Not to give the end away, but we were equal parts shocked and impressed when we saw the times. ———Want to compete in Driver Battles?——— Enter here! https://www.drivingline.com/driver-ba...
