It's sort of ironic. While you guys drool over RB26DETT swaps

That's the point..

Let me stare at something for a while, maybe then I can actually afford it.
I can post pictures of drag car motors all day long, but again, what's the point?
I can put a Titan motor in my G35 and turbo it if I had the dough, but again, what's the point.
BIG FU<KING DEAL.
To those of us that actually have "been there and done that" so to speak, it's actually kind of mundane.
I had a 617rwhp supercharged Cobra, but again, what's the point?

3. You would not only have to drop in a V8, fab a turbo setup, but you would also have to drop the compression to allow those motors to handle boost. There are a few companies that specialize in this for the Slowmarrows, Firebirds, and Corvettes and they charge 30k +
4. You should never put anything american in a Japanese car. If you like american doooodoo buy a american car and FLAME ON.
5. If you are looking for high numbers for a street car buy a tt set up and rebuild your motor. No one needs 1000 hp for the street. Think about the costs to maintain something like that as well.
6. If you have THAT much money too spend, save it and get the new GT-R
7. I don't see any irony here. I would be ironic if the GT-R was swapping in a VQ35DE.
