Even with barely any room to open em up, there is still a burning desire for horsepower in every Country.

When I arrived at my first duty station in Japan in 19... something or other... The first car I noticed when I pulled up to the shop I was going to work in was a SS396 Nova. Very nice car that belonged to my shop chief. I was even able to do some tuning on it for him.

There is a former Team NW member in Japan right now that is restoring a late 80's T/A he found over there for cheap. It only had 30-something thousand miles on it when he found it in someone's back yard. Motor was frozen, but everything else was in great shape.

lol yeah. IMO the ones we have over here are 10x better. Some guy was importing like 10 sets at a time and selling them for $800. And they sold like crazy.

Transfer
Oh well, at least you get to see one more summer here

The best I've seen in Europe: a 1988 IROC driving around the streets of Nice.
Lines on the roads are mere suggestions so that thing would be hauling *** with the other cars giving it a wide berth
