Welcome to the madness. Love the Datsun. I used to have a 260Z with a Ford Boss 302 and T5. Can you say scary fast, I thought so.

Nice times with the Jetta!

I imagine the 510 with a twin turbo small block Ford will eat tires for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Time to buy stock in your favorite tire company!

thats it.. i remember.. used to be a four door..

yea man.. i went from 110 hp 2.0 to 600 hp LS7.. and as a daily a 475 hp 383.

nothing like it..

and unlike the vw scene at least if you throw in wide tires in the rear you wont get the "why are you running wide tires in the rear.. its a fwd car?!"
