Ok, I hate some of you right now for wanting to build up iconic muscle cars like a yenko camaro and a 63 split window! This isn't a money doesn't matter, but it's not like there is a limit. I would say keep it within reason of a car that you could realistically build someday. A grand national would be awesome, although that's a car I'd want to keep stock and just up the boost and do everything that I can without changing the internals. Full bolt on car one could say.

It's got to be a common enough car. Nissans are a great platform for a good modded car.

There's a specialty shop close to my place that does nothing but Nissans. The guy is a god when it comes to SR's. There's a dude with a S13 running a SR20DET blacktop spooling 20+ psi on a completely stock engine. A badass turbo of course. I don't know what kind of numbers he's putting down but that engine makes 250 at the crank on a stock 7 psi. You do the math!

Sr20's don't make 250hp. They might make 200-220hp stock, and up to 240 if you get the most recent version, but not 250. I'd have to say that that guy is retarded running over 20psi with an upgraded turbo with stock block.

But I have to at running an sr20 in an s14/15 would be sweet.

^ The blacktop is out of an S15 silvia. 250 hp. He payed a LOT of money for it.

Even the other SR versions are badass. Running 13 psi on a stock turbo making 240 RW in that light chassis? Those cars are so sex!

Here's some good reading material.

blacktops make more than 250. they are underrated


my favorite S13 had an RB26 and 2 inch cowl hood. other than that it looked bone stock.

87 Grand National - but only if it had the original 3.8 Turbo/IC v6. Not a fan of people putting 350s in them.
70 Chevy Nova
69 Roadrunner
68-70 Charger - gotta be black
70 Chevelle with a 454

Something like a Skyline or 2jz Supra would be fun but Japanese imports aren't really my thing. I'd also like an RS4 or M3 with all out suspension work

Nissan 240 or Honda S2000 would probably be my next project. If you do em right, those things can fly.
