street legal Nissan runs 7.98 1/4mi

Ok, so it's not a Maxima but a Nissan GT-R street legal ride.
http://www.dragtimes.com/blog/ams-al...st-nissan-gt-r


Before AMS became an international tuning legend they once did a smallish exhaust system for an A32. Ran into a fellow racer Marty Grand while there. Asked me for advice on who to talk to about running Road America as he had no seattime there. He's now a 3-time SCCA runoffs podium finisher - guess he figured it out.


Oh, and the driver of that GT-R in the video...10yrs ago he installed my first camber plates, y-pipe, and other goodies. Wonder if Ivan will give me his autograph now

Im not so sure street "legal" is accurate, street driven is probably a better description. Video gives me the goosebumps, I wonder how it performs around a track...
