Does this Z belong to someone here? Hope the link works? They did a wrap job then burned the tires off.

Since they posted the video and are talking about when it comes back from Texas, I'm going to assume it belongs to somebody at the shop...most likely the person driving it. He even stated in the posts that he did it for advertising...if it was a customer's car, that would be the worst advertising he could do.

If you notice closely, towards the end he loses A LOT of power and the burnouts slowly stop...could this be due to heat soak or timing?

I did NOT watch the video, but noticed the same thing... Appeared very weak at the end..... Kind of like it has some type of timing or heat soak issue. Owners if these cars should hang their heads in collective shame and imbarrassment for allowing themselves to be duped into buying this latest version of crap from Bowling Green.

Sometimes it can be hard to read sarcasm online, especially if you don't know the person I apologize if I offended any one
