Default R34 Skyline Twin Turbo Ls1 Drift Car

GT Autosound has created a nice hybrid for this years' drift season, and put together a VERY TOUGH looking widebody R34-GTT Skyline complete with a H/C equipped LS1 and a Gen-TT Intercooled Twin Turbo kit from Martin (Street Tuna), and our Exo-Skel clutch system.

I thought folks might be interested in seeing the car, as there is some mystique surrounding the Skylines in the United States since there are so few that make it into the country.

This has actually been posted a few times in the multimedia section.
Here is the original post:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/multimedia-exchange/643174-r34-skyline-ls1-tt.html

It looks like you found some more pictures and specs though.

I posted the information I could find in that thread, including this:
"...the crazies at GT Autosound that built the 'Worlds Fastest S15' Silvia that some of you might have seen at the LS1 Drag Nationals. Well it looks like they have got serious now, and for next years drift season are putting together a VERY TOUGH looking widebody R34-GTT (another post says it started as a R34 GTS-4) Skyline complete with a H/C equipped LS1 and a Gen-TT Intercooled Twin Turbo kit...
...it only has a cam, 228 @ 112 in it, stock heads, and 918 springs. Boost will be kept stock for a while..."

Who is the driver? Our drift team (Evans Racing/ Cooper tires) has the Ls1 powered FC that was at all of the Formula D events last year. Hope to see the car at a few events!

I might have missed it, but is it going to compete in D1 or FD, or none of the above?

Cars like this make me look at my build and think i need to sell some crack or maybe pimp some hoes,or just get some sponsors!

**** is sick and its going to be sick watching it slam into a wall.. Anybody know who's the driver?
