Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?!?
Seen it before, but thought it was 'cute', ...

if he wanted a trans am... why didn't he just buy one instead of turning a 240sx into a look-alike (of all cars)...

Originality means more to some people...but I know what you're saying.

I think we all strive to be original, but there's original and then theres WTF original. This falls into the latter lol.

Look on the faces of the guys looking at the car. One guy is scratching his chin, the other has to tilt his head like a confused dog.

Trying to figure out "What was his intention with this thing?"

Wow does that really say 2.4 liter on that intake hood?
Lawl.. Im surprised his hood didnt bend in half.. I guess thats why he used hood pins.
With that much displacement there is no way a stock hood would ever clamp down.

Can you imagine how much that car must **** off those riceboys especially the S13 crowd! He took his import drift machine and made it look like a muscle car I'll bet the geeks at Super Street are screaming in agony! I say kudos for the imagination and origionality. It was featured in Modified or Drift magazine about a year ago BTW...
