As my girl and i were on our way to go midnight bowling and be goofy nerds i had a little fun with a 70's Datsun Fairlady. we went at it rolling out of second, literally was toying with him not even on full throttle, i thendouble clutched and when full on throttle and he was gone, as we pull up to the ext light they were yelling and screaming damnnnnn, true car fans to be honest. His car was in beautiful condition. nice pearl white. So next light we take off from dead stop. Keep in mind im not running too great still,, im running a little rich or something once it hits end of 2nd and 4500rpm in 3rd it burps and so i have to let off of the throttle a lil bit. We launched and he stayed next to me in 1st, 2nd i started pulling and by third he was at my rear bumper i began reallly pulling on him in third and had to shut it down after about 2 car lengths between uss. His car was very impressive, his turbo sounded so nice, and his car was very clean. Good clean fun kill, and my girl had fun being a part of it as well. He has everything in his car upgraded but the turbos. I have intake, downpipe, midpipe,catback system all 3 inches, 3 row smic greddy, greddy pulleys, koyo radiator, apex avcr boosting at about 10-11 lbs, street port, 12 lbs flywheel, b&m shortshifter, non sequential setup, but im not running good. i had fun with a vette later in the night but we didnt really run FOT.

umm that car probably had like 100 hp? what makes you think it was turbo?
guess Ill put my reply here again...
It was probably turbo because of the fact that the FD had a ton of mods and the fairlady was still at its side and bumper after 2nd gear and into 3rd. If it was 100 hp, that car would have been like 3 car lengths back after 1st gear

nicely put 94, well it made me think it was turbo when its BOV about destroyed my eardrums, unless that was just a sound machine hitting perfectly every shift, and like 94 put it soo nicely it was badass,d hes someone ive talked to before at our weekly meets, he has about 300 hp.
