  • The sad thing is that as cars get more complicated, google is getting thousands of times worse and old forums and photobucket accounts get deleted its becoming very hard to do these days.

    Also its kind of horrifying how fast all the parts prices add up, nothing takes the shine off the terrible (awesome) idea you have like realising you will spend $20k and take 2 years to lose a race to a $10k used car.


  • This is why I’m such a good car nerd. Ive built dozens of high performance cars with tools, ive built THOUSANDS using google.

    At the moment Im spreadsheet building a new drag car. Before I buy a single part I know if its going to go together the way I plan, what all the major parts are going to cost and what jobs Ill have to send out and what they will cost. The weights and measurements of most parts and what kind of end quarter mile results it will put me in the ballpark of.









  • Except the GTR was all wheel drive not rear wheel drive and 1:08 faster around the nurburgring than the C5 corvette which was sold at the same time.

    The R35 has apparently completed the Nurburgring in 7:19.1 which puts it just behind the Lamborghini Aventador LP750-4 SV at 7:18.

    Thats why its arguably a supercar, because it can turn up to a big dollar track day and the guys in half a million dollar german and Italian mid engined supercars might look down on you for being there in a Nissan but they also dont want to get their doors blown off by one and they know its a possibility.




  • To give an alternative perspective.

    Dua Lipa “Levitating” has made 3.4 Million dollars on streaming revenue. Blinding Lights by The Weeknd is over double that.

    Then the real success stories are the Indies. Run the Jewels only have 1.2 Billion streams but that 2 million dollars is their 2 million dollars.

    Its peanuts per stream but anyone anywhere in the world can be a fan and show their support by ordering an overpriced Tshirt from the website.
