Oh also, I just came home from running a quick errand, and on the other side of the road was a '67 or '68 GT 500, not sure if it was authentic or a clone, but it was definately restored and packin' a big block cobra jet with nasty cams and had a sound to melt for. I bet he hates imports too

i love the ford gt's....B-E-A-U-TIFUL cars !!!(imo). and yeah, torque is what gets you there. hp just keeps you there. but why is it, most of the time(say with a 5.0), factory: 225hp/300 lbs/ft, that when you do mods, the hp usually goes up more than the torque. just the way parts are made and designed, or, how does that work ?? i wish i could drive a skyline. itd be wierd tho !! right hand drive. that take some gettin used to racing. i mean, yeah, ive shifted w/ my left hand for mom n dad when i was younger and they were doing something, but, racing w/ my left hand.........idk about that. id probably f**k up A LOT !!!!! oh well. its a skyline. if i lose, i still look better than most of the cars on the road. well, maybe not most, but a A LOT of them

i'm suprised no one started some sh*t about me asking if anyone has driven a Skyline.i have not driven a JDM skyline. however, there is a guy named Cameron Amherst who used to live in georgia who built a G35 coupe into an R35. i drove that. it had the attessa and super hicas systems and about 350 whp. that thing was fast. i'm talking mid 12s. and he built it to spec on the model coming in 06.

why u surprised about that ?? people should know not to f**k with a skyline. therye bad-***. so what if its Japanese. BIG WHOOP. AWD, inline 6, 6-spd, @ 280hp from factory. sheeit. theyre fast from factory. the awd helps out a LOT. now, non-gt-r's, they have traction problems, but, gt-r's, out the hole, you can kiss your *** goodbye unless you jump, or they cant drive and dont kno how to launch an awd car.......built on the model of what ?? the Skyline ?? i thought it was supposed to be '07 ?? thats what i read in one of my import mags.....think it was Super Street. oh well. either way, were supposed to be gettin them when they come out. but, theyll probably deny us that too....deny us everything else good. THE BASTARDS !!

if my sister had a dick she'd be my brother. shut up with your stupid hypothetical bull**** bench racing.

and just a fyi, all wheel drive can slob on my ****. it's just for people who can't launch. they waste way too much power.
