Laughing does not mean its *at* you or the vehicle.

I too got a chuckle out of that picture. That is a big IC and a *huge* snail. If you have seen enough stockers when you pop the hood and see that monster sneering at you...

Do you find it streetable? Not sure of the A/R and I am a few years removed from being up to date on various choices for 2.0l engines and aftermarket options. The 4G63 is well cemented in the history books for its capabilities. Though 1/2 the power I found the 16 and 20 upgrades (350-450ish HP) very nice on the DSM cars.

Are you new to the import performance community? One of the 1st things I learned back in high school at the street races was... Don't mess with the DSMs. A race against a DSM has 2 possible outcomes:

1) You get walked. Bad.
2) the DSM blows up.

Nismo AND blue? The world couldn't handle that level of beauty and awesomeness. Car production throughout the world would just cease to continue.

Nissan withheld that lethal combination for the good of the industry.

Haha....Neither does the guy who tries to race him...

That would put your tail between your legs for sure..

Racing this guy is like doing a fat girl...You would never tell your friends...

And you cannot call it a race when you lose by 20 car lengths
