jeff: whassup. you say you are setting up your car for road racing because you like drifting. Well, that will get you no where b/c drifting is slower, and even if you argue that it's faster, it will over heat the tires, and will raise up the pressure, and cause the tires to get greasy causing you to totally lose traction in the rest of the race. no if you were just going to do drift competitions that's another story.
on the 3% drivetrain loss theory. Were you drinking or something? lol. that sounds like drew after he spent an hour in a car with friends in the parking lot, hehe. think about it bro, 3%? that doesn't even seem logical. if you really seen it whereever you got it from, maybe it was a typo or something.
as for steve, we've had our differences in the past, but i have no doubts that he knows some shit about nissans. as for as him autoxing, he might not be the best one, i'd probably be a little better than he, but on a road track, i'm sure he'd tear me in half. i'm willing to bet he could take your sr20det 200zx on a road course any day. that's not a cut down, he just has the experience in it.
but anyways, enough of all the engine talk, i dunno if i could live if drew's car was faster than mine.
