you are all ****in retarded.
"i'm not impressed" EXCUSE ME? WHAT THE **** DO YOU HAVE AGAIN? oh i'm sorry you have SR20 with a T28 your ****in god!
oh oh hey look at me i have a KA-T that makes 230whp.
and you guy's aren't impressed with a 8.1 Second car?
What the hell is wrong with you guys? When i first saw this i posted this on a Local car forum where 20-30 people have sub 10 second cars and they ALL gave that car props and the majority of that site was V8/Domestic guys yet here is a NISSAN site and your not impressed.
is there ANYONE on Nico with a LOW 8 HIGH 7 SECOND CAR?
amd to the peole saying Ivan's car is more impressive? do you know how much power,money,time,etc goes into makeing a car go from a 9.1 to a 8.3? not to mention another 10mph.
Also what turbo is Ivan using? if i remember correctly it's the same one used on this car or its a GT45. Either way that's F'N HUGE! not taking anything away from Ivan' car i've talked to him personally a few times he is a cool **** and has a nasty *** car. But this car is on a WHOLE NOTHER LEVEL!
And not to mention. this is Duy's car. and it previously had a KA-T in it....i geuss someone wanted to go fast.
and to all you know it all 2JZ/ Supra people on here.
MY buddy has a setup that almost mirrors that (3.2L Sound Performance stroker) to where the white S14 is a (3.4L Storker) but they both run the same turbo he is out NIGHTLY with his 1200WHP Supra.
And the whole Nitrous excuse your throwing thats to spool the turbo. so with out it i doubt it would run too much slower, Also read the build it's a BL Built motor with over 80 motors built NOT 1 has blown up.
LOL,
you guys crack me up.
No, I'm not impressed at all. Just like you said, there are many 1k hp Supras, it's not hard to do. Craig Paisley had a 780 hp stock block stock body Supra that ran a best of 8.72 at 158 mph. It costs money, but any trust fund h0m0 has that. Don't get me wrong, not saying I don't like the car, nor am I putting down the work that he and his crack team of mechanics have done. On the otherhand, you have this small little 2.4l 4 banger, that everyone in the past has over looked. It doesn't have near the R&D time that the 2JZ has, but it can come that close to laying down the same time as a 1400 bhp 2J7 powered car of the same chassis? Yes, that impresses me. That's not done every day, and Ivan and AMS actually had to design some of their parts, it's not an off the shelf affair like the 2J.
I'm even more impressed with the guy that got 5xx whp with a stock KA. That impresses the **** out of me. Gives me hope that my POS may without a claimed life insurance policy be something more.
Does my car run 10s? No, I'm lucky to keep my car running at all. I simply do not have the money to rebuild my KAT. The pursuit of it makes me happy enough though. You have to remember, 80% of the wealth of this country is in the hands of 10% of the population, and unfortunately, my mommy and daddy or any part of my family are not in that elite group. I and most people on here don't have great connections, and what we do have, we work our collective asses off for. We don't have some shop throwing parts at us, and doing our work for us for logo placement. Hell, I don't even have access to a garage, so all my work is done under the sun and stars. It's ok though, I don't claim to have anything great.
My point? Being impressed is a relative term. I don't expect anyone to be impressed with the same things that I am. Events in life make sure that our experience and perception differ greatly. What can I say, my life has sucked so far, so I'm overly analytical and very pessimistic.
