you sweed guys are insane! just read an artical on a 872bhp T8 powerd cossy that Jenspeed built! insane!
Cop car, do a search for the TVR Speed 12 mate! yeah you know the road leagal car that TVR thought best not to make more than one of (for the public) as it was too dangerous!
also take a look at the old rallcross over here when they had no restrictors!
and come onm just cos you dont see iton the net doesn't mean its not hapening!
Chris.
PS, Cop car, a;so take a look at some of the insane machinery (well race cars) that guys over here (and in ireland) think wise to throw up hills bealy wide enough for the rear slicks! i will give you one for example! a twin Haybusa powered car with similar bodywork to the Bently LeMans car. itwas making around 400bhp and the weight was about 460kg! sooo thats about......870bhp per ton! basically as close to F1 levels of perfromance and grip as you can get!
also you might want to look at this year TOTB (ten of the best). this is where all the BIG UK tuners come to race and show off what they have. there are three big evens (although drifting is getting up there), the drag race, the time trial and the handling cause. now search for the Norris design car and see just how fast that thing was! then take a look at the Dax rush (with a 450bhp turboed Hyabusa engine and only 510kg!!!) and how it thrashed the rest of the field! and it only cost about £15K to build!
we have a Massive car culture mate, you guys just dont allways get to see it!!!

Very nice numbers.
In regard to your earlier question Regular fuel is about $2.29/ US gallon, and premium is about $2.45/U.S. gallon. It's gone down quite a bit recently for some reason noone has explained to me. A couple weeks ago it was well over $3.00/gallon.
Also, remeber there is MUCH LESS tax on our fuel here, I'm not sure what the Federal amount is, but I think the state tax on fuel here (Michigan) is only about $0.30-0.35/gallon. This is what most people forget about, while Europe has much higher fuel prices, it's mostly because of the taxes on it.
there was a guy in charleston with an ls1 in a 300zx. he said he was the only one... guess not lol.
he supposedly posts in here but i couldn't find him.
very nice car. how does it do on the track? (road racing track)

but i am not happy to the result on 1/8 i got yesterday best 9,4 75mph
cant be right? going to buy hp tuners to find out if their is any errors on some sensors etc? also gonna need it fore the tuning this vinter 
Too bad it costs so much to send car parts to Sweden! I've shipped several items there for Typhoons. I think the current price for a gallon of gas in Stockholm is $5.80 or about $1.45/liter

I HAD A 1991 300ZX WITH A CARB 383 STROKER.ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO.IT WAS REALLY HEAVY.7.83 1/8 AND 12.23 1/4.I HAD A 240SX WITH AN LS1 IT RAN 11.92 1/4.STOCK LS1.THIS WAS THE FIRST 240SX WITH A LS1.I SOLD THE CAR TO A GUY THAT USE TO BE ON THIS FORM.BEFORE BRIAN HINSON STARTED THERE CAR I TALKED TO HIM AND TOLD HIM HOW I DID IT ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO http://www.streetracinggallery.com/c..._Cars&bool=and
Awesome!!! I've always loved the 300zx but thought the tt V6 was way too heavy and complex. What does your rear suspension look like? Did you keep the Nissan IRS or the HICAS 4 wheel steer? And your welding and fabrication skills=
