Personally, I think that it’s an amazing car. A mix of old and new. Something that makes highly efficient power while looking amazingly clean. There’s no point in knocking it just because you’re too narrow minded, or dont have the skills to piece together something like this. The american domination of the automotive industry is long gone. The japanese and europeans are building cars faster, more efficient, and more comfortable than most american companies. The japanese pioneered many of the technologies used on modern american cars. You can bleat all you want about this being the desacration of a classic muscle car, but it just proves the degree of ignorance that the majority of muscle builders have regarding imports. I’d love to see more rb series and 1jz/2jz motors in american cars, just like it would be great to see a few more ls-1’s in rx-7s and silvias(240sx). The old muscle scene wasnt honestly much different than todays import scene, just a bunch of people trying to make their car a little faster, handle a little better, and look just a little more vicious. The builder should honestly be congratulated on this beautiful build, it’s a well built shock to the stagnant muscle scene. Besides, its his damn car, he can do whatever the hell he wants to with it!

By the way 87, the record for the fastest 0-60 time is just over 3 seconds. It was achieved by a car that is little more than a sand rail.

Honestly, we sould all drive smarts with hyabusa swaps in them. Thats a beastly car for you(look up smart diablo). Super short wheel base, a good power to weight ratio, and rear wheel drive, can you imagine how much fun one would be as a secondary car? Doing donuts would be like sitting in a washing machine, and you dont have to worry about people crying over the toxic gasses it spews out.

(yes, I’m a young import driver, but I grew up on muscle. nobody here can hate the pissed-off-bumblebee-in-a-can exhaust sound more than me(my car has a deep, smooth exhaust note). I’m a certified, card carrying honda hater, so don’t get the idea that every import builder out there is in love with the little 1.6 liter econo-boxes.)

Hahah i love american cars i love all cars actually i love practical cars that everything on the car has a purpose or need but to the person that said the ford motor is a gas guzzler some guy just got an 87 5.0 mustang uo to 110mpg with 400hp and 0-60 in 3 seconds the nissan skyline motor is fucking fast im not going to lie but people have been putting japanese motors in american car and vise versa for years and they do it not for what is but because they are doing what they need for horsepower i went to the racetrack the other day and saw a 88 rx7 with a bored out 390 which i guess is a 406 and it ran 8s non turbo just because the engine has alot of power and it is a light car

My Lotus has a Toyota engine in it, and I couldn’t be happier.

american and japanese don’t know how to make vehicles. So an RB26 in a Stang is a lose-lose situation. i’ll take my sheer power with some finesse.

EURO FTW!!!!!
