Default 35th SS got spanked

ATTENTION: THIS IS ALL A DREAM
So I've been seeing a really clean red 35th SS pretty much every day or so for the last couple weeks. Well one day I ran into him at Wal-Mart. I was talking to my GF just sitting there about to leave when I see him pull into the parking lot and compliment him on his car (I'm in my GF's Mazda 3) and asked him if he would like to run my car. ('96 240sx with a complete drivetrain from an LS1 car...cammed/custom exhaust LS1,T56 and 12 bolt with 3.73's). He said sure. I drove home with him following me and just let my GF stay at home. I take my car and drive out to a little 1/4 mile strip. I line up, give the Nitto's a good heating and he cleaned off his tires as well. Went on 3 honks..it was a massacre. I let off around 105 when I had 4-5 cars on him. moral of the story, 415rwhp and 387rwtq in a ~2900 lb car makes for a pretty quick little bugger
let the Nissan flaming begin...

No flaming - its what's under the hood that counts. I like the RX-7/LS-1 swap myself.

Would that be a turbo 4banger in an old, inferior chassis? No thanks, not even close.

Nice kill. You should be disappointed with anything OTHER than a total massacre in that situation.

Got any pics of the car/setup? It sounds pretty mean.
