I am sorry to inform you, the car was purchased 3 years ago by a man named Salam Abdul Nasim, he had the 3.2 stroker twin turbo engine swapped out (and destroyed for personal reasons - he thought it was cursed), and had a Tomei RB26 (stroked to 2.8, he said it was pushing excess of 500 rwhp) crate engine installed.
I usually try to loose complete contact with the buyers of whom I sell my previous owned cars to, but this had me intrigued, and he liked to update me about the modifications to the car anyways.
He had a custom cage installed, and also re worked all the suspension, put my RS Watanabe wheels on (I told him he should use TE37s, he refused) he said he wanted the car to push 200 mph on the 405.
Well, he reached that goal about 6 months ago, but not on the 405, but on the Vincent Thomas Bridge in San Pedro. Supposedly he was racing a twin turbo 355, his brother claims it was a bone stock 458 - I have no clue - during the race, the car caught fire and he spun out of control, and the Z flew off the bridge. That was the last I heard of it, Nasim's brother, family and members of his racing team Magnacore refuse to talk about the incident. I tried emailing Nasim himself, but he never responds, I was told he lost a leg and was partially brain damaged.
One interesting part about the car is that I had a friend run the vin # of the car to see what was up with it a couple of months after the incident, he said the car was a NON-OP status, which is strange since his brother showed me pictures of the charred remains of the car when they were pulling it up out of the ocean. It's impossible that they could rebuild from it.
