You guys need to get John Sheppherd (8 second DSM driver + tranny/awd GOD) to build you guys a beefy drivertrain.
heh Sheppherd is insane, no doubt about it. However, since most of what is done to a 3/S is done with little to no company backing (all privately funded or small, private companies) it is difficult to get something major like this done. Sometimes I wish we had the aftermarket of the Supra but then I watch the Supra community and am thankful we don't. 3/S community rules.
Both the 300ZX and 3000GT were meant to be more roadcourse than straight line drag (Supra). I have no intention of making mine a drag queen just well rounded, well minus the ricey body parts and spoilers (there will be none of those on my car!). In the end I will put down 550-600rwhp which really isnt that difficult on this block.
Should be a fun car at the HP range. Might be doable for me as well but will be far in the future. I will keep the car fun to drive on the road since that is where I will be driving it the most. Not to mention got those pesky emission checks here.. need to get the hell out of Ohio! Will probably make it BPU first and then move from there.
I've actually been trolling some of the 3000 sites but not sure if thats where we are going to go. Her second choice is one of the mind 80's 911 Turbo (she refuses to have an NA fun car). In any case I have years to think about it since thats the ETA for finishing my car.
Eww Porsche.. am so not a Porsche fan personally! But hey, you're lucky to have a wife that loves cars as well. My better half sure doesn't

She'll stick to her Rav4 and be happy with it!
