nice driving a bet that ford GT was gritting his teeth ever time he saw your little $15,000 car pulling up on him I have an 03 spec v whats it cost to do the vq35 swap? i hate the exploder in it now
It's not stock. The only non OEM parts in the motor are 11:1 pistons and ARP rod bolts. It's a DE block and head with some HR parts in it. I wired it up to use a 350Z ecu, and the ECU is unlocked and tunable with UpRev's Osiris software. It has the usual bolt ons and some minor custom stuff. It actually makes (now) 265whp, but we have to detune it (to under 255whp) to run in NASA TTB class.
We went back to the dyno with new headers and a gutted intake manifold from NWP Engineering. We didn't pick up much peak power, but ...... +30who and +22 ft/lbs over the old set up at redline. Big gains from 6k up and I bumped the redline to 7300 because the power was holding so well.
BARBER MOTORSPORTS PARK THIS WEEKEND.............. LOOK FOR MORE VIDEOS SOON!!!!!
@72Smokinjoe In the words of the great Ayrton Senna, "You either commit yourself as a professional racing driver that is designed to win races, or you come second, or you come third, or you come fifth. I am not designed to come third of fifth. I race to win, and if you no longer go for a gap that exists you're no longer a racing driver." Rest in peace, the best driver that ever lived.
NASA Mid-Atlantic hosted the event so naturally, a lot of the cars were NASA prepped cars. NASA's rules say the spoiler can't be more the 8" higher than the roof line.
Chances are, even the car with the goofy spoiler...... is faster than yours :D
@BaseballCardFreek haha... when i first saw it i was like Woah we got an airplane comin in outta nowhere... then i was like ohh its just a subie.... rofl... most def overkill on the wing... im sure it doesnt provide that much downforce....
@BaseballCardFreek haha i know right... that shits crazy... but this sentra is badass and this driver is badass... just had to put something in about that since its on this video... haha talkin about a bigass wing on a subbie on a sentra vid... rofl... wtf
great driving!! and DAMN that Viper ACR is fast!! He left the GT40 out of the pack pretty badly. your car has to be pretty modded and light to keep up. what have you done to it?
I want this video on my 692 unit.

the rough specs are: ~2800lbs, ~250whp and ~250wtq from a Maxima VQ35DE V-6
It's all in the driver, chassis and suspension set up, and part selection.
The car still has more in it ;)
