It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.

Skip ahead to the 2 minute mark, that's my Uncle in the Frantic Ford. Scary situation but happy to report he's fine:

thinking of doing a car project with Jr.

after american muscle cars (mopar in particular) i have always been a big fan of nissan performace going back to original skyline to the new GTR.

i have a 2006 sentra that i am thinking about building into a whats named a sentra spec VQ. basically you swap out the four banger for a maxima/altima 3.5 v6 drivetrain. with some minor tweaking the car is easily putting out over 300whp and these cars are smoking much of the competition out there.

with the minor tweaking these things are doing 12.5sec in the 1/4mile.

Ugly.

[Sgt PSN]

Yeah, don't really care for it.  Looks like something one of those oriental car companies would design.

i didnt realize the article was from spet 2012. hopefully this was just a concept car and the production model is improved on.

[Sgt PSN]

It's definitely a concept and it's appearance will be modified, but it's still a horrible starting point.

It's also a Fiat.
