"japan's Fastest Street Car"

that's right..............check out the new SuperStreet magazine.


It has a FD3S that was outfitted By RE AMEMIYA

I think RE went crazy........this car is oh soo damn nice
SuperStreet calls it "Japan's Fastest Street Car"...
now dont get me wrong......but im very glad to own a FD3S......especially if they have one in JAPAN that is faster than all others on the street.........it even beats a R34 Skyline

the car is soo secret......RE wont let out on any of the numbers the engine is pushing out

check out the magazine.......by the time i will try to scan these pics in

Well, I beat R34 Skyline's in my stock motor/twins powered FD. Does that make ME the fastest then?

Contrary to popular belief, they're not THAT fast...but they are fast

Yea I checked that out too, wtf was up with that? I checked out some of my Options and I remember reading that the RE FD puts out about 400ish hp. Upon further reading (using my limited japanese) I saw that the RE FD had won a recent competition hosted by Option 2 I believe. Fastest street car in Japan though? Not a chance. Anyone check out this months option2? In the 100-200km/h time challenge that R32 made the sprint in 2.8 seconds(SUGO-YO!!!(SP?)).

I think the correct spelling would be: Sugoi...unless you're trying to say sugoi-o...which is how a girl would say it.

NO PROBLEMO! By then I'll be T-66'd and Bridgeported(Of course, I'm still waiting to put my puny 60-1 on )

And Ame-san...we'll have to take a trip to Mainland...About 12000Y roundtrip...like $100 or so.

Brush up on your "HOOK-UP" Japanese too...unless you don't want to get laid...

Contrary to popular U.S. Belief, GT-R's are NOT invincible. Production cars are limited to 270 hp. Anything more, and you'll be paying for OUTRAGEOUS road tax....like $1000 more a year, which is why the major manufacturer's have "limited" them to 270 hp and less

...500 hp is all the stock block is capable of...besides I didn't say I could beat a hooked up GT-R. With my mods, I have every single bolt on except the single turbo. Probably within 350 at the wheels...

He lives in Japan, and the Skyline isn't the god that everyone makes it out to be, I think Road and Track got a 13.2 out of it.

Tokyo...party town...

Kyoto...I had a blast there, but it was more of a romantic trip...no clubbing or bar hopping to speak of. It seemed more of a tourist town than anything.

Okayama...never been there...

Ruling the streets? Everyone has their own opinion of that. Rotary's seem to do their fair share of damage. Problem is when we go up against 800 hp GT-R...we get slaughtered...or how about the 800 hp Supra's...them there guys ain't slow...

Never seen any old Porsche's here...

We're all entitled to our own opinions...but 800 hp is still 800 hp

You can't force enough air into the engine to make 800 hp...not possible...but with a 20B...better odds...but how long will that engine last?

the only RX-7s that are close to 800 or even 700 hp are the ones that are trailored from drag strip to drag strip.

As far as I know, there are three rotories over 800 HP.
All of them are 20B.
One of the FDs is my friend's car, Fujiwara.
It is made by Stillway, which is very good shop in Himeji.
But, it is not the fastest.
As for drag, Okamoto FC and Uchini FD is the fastest.
Both of them are 13B motors, around 720 HP.
As for on the racing track and street, RE-A is much faster than any FC and FD.
RE-A FD is around 450 HP !!
He says that 450 HP is enough to beat othe cars.
By the way, AutoSelect is the 2nd, recently in Japan.

I live in Northern Japan, and Skylines are everywhere, everyone drives the shitty RB20 that is really slow. There are a few R34 Rb26's but they are really rare. They are very expensive over here, and most people would rather spend there money on a nice house. There will always be an Fd that is faster, screw the heavy skyine!!!
