## Brief Summary

For an extra $350 the Z-8 Nitro can be made in custom colors -- we suggest "Arrest Me Red" because with the standard 200-hp OptiMax the folks at Nitro tell us that she should push 70-mph. With the optional 250-hp OptiMax she will be well into the mid-70s. Speed is only part of the story. The other elements are features, comfort and price. Suffice it to say that she is loaded with the equipment pros expect to need in the top levels of tournament competition.
