It's a V-Spec II, but it's been upgraded well beyond that. At full boost they claim it makes 720bhp, I've not yet seen the complete build sheets so I don't know for sure. What I was mainly pointing out is that it's LHD.

It costs $78k to FedEx a car across the country, next day delivery by 10am. Really. Also, you get a discount for more than 3 vehicles, or if you're a professional athlete. :blink: I think I'll just go with an enclosed truck.

Of course. Well, unless they're driving the car itself, it should be able to cover 4100km in 16 hours. Provided there are no cops, traffic jams, or any road construction. :wink:

Wouldn't that be cool? I'm working on it. :wink:


Anyhow, after a lot of crap, and a huge bundle of red tape, we wrapped up the F1 deal. Two guys in a truck, a semi with a special carrier, will be hauling it to me (yeah, I am a little nervous about that). They're supposed to call me before they head out, and they only stop for refueling.

1000hp is a lot, for any car, much less a car as light as a Skyline. I imagine its current tune is about as much as it could ever need, and the rest just gets wasted on wheel spin and lost rubber.

WTH does that mean? FYI - Magick has two life-threatening illnesses that will significantly shorten his lifespan, so a comment like that is really not funny.

In context, I was referring to the dead terrorist.

Actually seeing the Youtube Vehicles the AWD system manages the power really well. However the ultimate GTR (aka the Mines) only outputted around the same as yours. Speaking of Mine's planning to use any Mine parts on it?

LOL! :D Cool system. Did you see that bird fall? Yikes.

So, some of you complain about buying cars that have been wrecked? Well, that McLaren has been wrecked at least 20 times, and been on fire twice (once almost burning down to the frame). Yes, it does have a fire suppression system, extinguishers, and battery disconnect. Also it's virtually brand new, with the last rebuild, so no aging electricals that can cause problems. I was thinking, I can drive it all I want, because their production was so limited that it really doesn't matter how many miles are on them, as long as they're maintained, and right now the odo says 248 mi. Oh, and I was wrong, it does have central locking and an alarm system, I misunderstood the guy, also the ducting is in place for AC, it just needs a compressor (that'll be a joy to find). I'm itching to run it head-to-head against the F40 and GT.

On my drive home last night I passed a flatbed truck with a fairly new Ferrari on it. I went by rather quickly, but I think it might have been a 599 GTO. I couldn't swear to it - but it was long and low and it didn't have a big tail on it like the F40 or F50. It didn't seem to be a track car, so I doubt it was a 599XX. What immediately struck me was that it wasn't in a covered truck. That just seems insanely stupid. It was (of course) a gorgeous Italian Racing Red.

Probably a 599GTB, GTOs are very rare. Still very pretty cars.
