I'm only 20 so really it's not an option at this point in my life... which is why I opted for nitrous.

i have no more than 23,000 in my car total including buying it and my car just turned 33k miles, including full suspension and wheels and tires, all performance mods including my vortech kit new and exhaust and everything..i am 400whp and safely tuned..doing your own work and finding the right deals is key..i bought a brand new vortech kit off g35 driver from a vendor for 2600 shipped...deal of a lifetime right there..deals are out there and with the right prices its not as expensive as one thinks if u can do work yourself

I know I didn't spray, everyone that knows me knows I didn't spray.
hell mike should know I didn't spray on him... if i only put a car or two on a regular de Z with the same mods while me being on a 100 shot I would throw my car directly into a guardrail...

track must be messed up...and with u saying before u were spraying on that one run and only ran in the 14's and only pulled that mph i don't see how spraying and only pulling a car or two would sound crazy...

As far as doing the work myself, shouldn't really be a problem... I just don't wanna be sitting at 400hp and be scared to go anymore because I'm worried about taxing out my engine...If anything it'll stay stock and get a 2jz later on down the road...

Driver is critical... you try to launch this thing agressively and you just sit and spin... I have a few 13.5 ~ 13.7 slips from my first attempts at launching... ironically they were 105~106mph runs like most people are used to seeing...once I went with the method Evan Smith, Ranger, Jaime Furman, etc all use my times dropped a ton.
