Taisan Viper??? There was a Viper sponsored by Benihana pictured above, and it was awesome. It was probably pushing about 600-700 hp.
 
Thank for the viper confirmation on the other thread. I do remember my buddy talking about Benihana, but I kinda zoned out because saying "Benihana" makes me hungry...mmmm getting hungry now. :)

Anyway, so who won and which two went runner up? And who crashed the S14 and the DRFT FD?
 
The FD was a qualifying crash so not sure, actually i dont really know the names of the drivers yet. I know the "rodeo" guy won with Nomura in 3rd, 2nd dont remember.
 
kazama won in the green S15
taniguchi placed 2nd in the red HKS S15
nomura placed 3rd in the blitz ER34
kumakubo placed 4th in the team orange S15
i forget the rest, but i know i was disappointed in imamura's performance, i wanted to see him place =[

NISSAN PRIDE BABY ;]

here's a picture of the winner, he had the blue S15 at the event in august, now it's green

Thanks!

Did Katsuhiro Ueo drive his Yuke's/Revolver AE86? Also, if anyone happens to know what happened to Ueo in Round 7 of 2003 championship, I'd love to know. He moved into second place by Round 6, but failed to qualify for the Best 32. Then he was so distraught by it that he started crying. In a show of good sportsmanship Imamura Youichi came over and consoled Ueo (excellent gesture - I've only seen that type of comradrere in the WRC).

It was all in Japanese from Option 118, so I have no idea what exactly happened. But I can make out that one of the commentators kept mentioning "engine" throughout Ueo's qualifying run.
 
yeah, at the event the announcer kept saying that ueo was having engine trouble throughout the whole day, and he didnt do too well in the event. i'm not really sure about what happened to him in the 03 D1 season. it seems that he cries alot =[

That GTO has a V8 supercar front body kit by the look's of it.
Now that a look it at it does look like the VY V8 supercar front bar. Yeah it does look sweet also they havent mirrored the stickers like the Japanese do.
 
That GTO doesn't look half-bad (a real compliment coming from a Ford guy :)). It does look like it could use a whole lot more negative camber though - not much tire contact with the wheel locked to one side.

Holden is owned by General Motors.
General Motors=American. :)


I just wish they hadn't painted the D1 GTO Yellow. Yellow is such a horrible color, especially on cars.

General Motors=American.
Holden Monaro, Australian history, Australian designed, Australian built=Australian.
Is a Subaru American? Is a Saab American?
 
pretty stupid argument if you ask me , the car is designed by GM engineers .... it uses the american ls1 engine , gm engineers come from accross the globe just like ford engineers .... so its hard to call it doesnt have 1 place of origin the car industry isnt like what it used to be.

Thats cool. You just wake up to see the CWest FD driving in front of you.
 
it was a holden before they made it a pontiac, that shows how much of insipiration the american mototr car industry is going through, basically non what so ever. personally the only american car is worth buying and might hesitate in getting is a fird Focus or a Corvette. the rest just, like in new york, FORGET ABOUT IT.
I'm sorry to say it but american cars are no more, it's a shame cause there is potential but it's all lost in persuit of the old mighty dollar, money have become more important than the passion of automoblies and the biggest proof is Nascar, all cars are the same............why i mentioned that i have no idea:D
but i thimk you get the picture
:D :D
