i know the guy you got the car from.
there were videos of it on streetfire & youtube. most of them were from when he had an ls1 in. there is one after the 408 on youtube i think.

only one video with 408 is at the track vs a srt8 jeep?
http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Beech-bend-322-Chriss-vs_155252.htm

i dont have any videos up it up here yet.
the car did go 12.9 @ 113 with a 1.97 60ft
it weighs 3150 with a full tank of gas and me in it.

the car will be getting twin 60mm turbos as soon as the tranny is rebuilt.

you know what we need more of (you mention most drift while you want to drag) is road racing guys running this setup. I know of 2-3 people who are interested... plus myself to use an LS for road racing... RX7s do well, M3s/E36s do well (autox, road race, etc...)... just not that many so far that have done this for road racing/autox in an S chassis car..

im open to try any kind of racing.

i plan on drifting the car this year and im hoping to be able to road course / drag / drift the car next year.

to me, id rather have a 11.50 car that can drift and road race then a 10.1 car that cant do anything but drag.

just my opinion though Smile

^Agreed

Try to then be into road racing and autox it's fun Razz

And far more challenging than just sliding around for show.. anyone can kind of do that after practicing enough and especially having lots of power to burn rubber making everyone go woo woo all around track.

Autox and road racing takes technical skill and constant driving skill improvement for that one second or less improvement Smile

It really comes down to making your car really drivable, aka actual performance improvements and driver improvements.

Go to www.nissanroadracing.com our forum kicks ass (but so does this one hehe). Lots of serious like minded guys who are building road racing/auto-x cars.
