I don't know why a common 500 whp Skyline that everyone has already seen all over is on the cover instead of the 650 whp sedan.

Congrats! BTW. Are your wheels going to be for sale soon?

You set the bar high brother. Keep us informed.

Thank you.

The NT05's helped the traction issues a lot but would not be enough for the drag strip. Down the line I am going to get a set of cheap 18's with drag radials to solve that problem. The next issue will be that I am still on stock axles so they will need to be upgraded too.

When I ran that 12.3 @126 there was a built viper there who was running low 10's at 125 and a Z06 running 11.3 at 117-118 so I know there is enough power to get lower.

I'm going to try it again this summer with the stereo and interior out. The stereo is at least 150lbs right there. LOL

Yeah I don't get it either. Guess they know their readers better than we do.

Not going to sell the wheels any time soon.

Yaaay i know the owner(kind of) of a car that is featured on modifiedmag! I wanna mail my copy to you so you can sign it and send it back to me. That would be awsome!

And if all the other guys who are dissapointed that his g is not the main cover car we all should email modified or write to them.

Anyway, you re living the dream of mine and im sure many of the members here so hope you get to do more things to it you want and break into the 10's and 11's at the strip.

And when you are done modding sell it to me for like 8g's. I kno you race it and mod it! lol. jk jk

LOL


Thanks

I don't know if I will ever sell this car. I have so much money/time/sweat/blood into it, as long as I have the room and can afford it, I'm going to keep it.

I would love to be in more mag articles but I think it will take a major change to get in another. Maybe after a widebody and color change or something.
