Tuner is 1,000's of miles away in WAY different time zone.


Get a GTR and call it a day. 0-60 in 3.5 or less (good luck getting that out of the RWD Z without tons of suspenion/tire mod $)...1/4 in 11.5. 195 mph top speed (Z limited to rougly 175ish unless otherwise geared). How much faster do you need to go on that tiny island?

One problem and you can be pretty screwed quickly...you need to find someone local
You dont build a car to gain appreciation, a car is a money pit and you understand that when you go into building one. I never intended on getting my money back on my car. Hell I dont ever intend on selling it either.

You obviously dont know much about cars either, I am putting down 12.2 out of my car, with a good 60ft and an experienced driver I am sure they can get somewhere in the high 11's and that is with my current HP, if I build my motor I am looking in the mid 600 to 700 range, that will put me well into the low 11's to high 10's. And top speed of 195, dont really plan on ever driving that fast. I had my car somewhere in the range of the mid 170's and it was quite dangerous if you ask me. Everything just seemed to slow down. I value my life more than I value speeds of 195.

I would rather drive a winding road then go straight really fast any day. But hey thats me.
