Any one lives near 01603? If you do, you must know the Worcseter Airport barely in operation. This airport is a great place to open up/top speed testing and drifttttting.
Any one up for this?

So did you win? I never know why guys in expensive cars race antique burners. I always have had a few gen1s try and race. If you win you beat an old car and look silly, if you lose, you look silly.

By the way, in addition to driving the SC430 when lazy and slow, drive an SC430 to get a tan and when you don't want to go home alone.

LS's is a total sleeper car too...classy bbs wheels, nice color, lowered but not slammed extreme...I bet he creeps and sweeps a lot in DFW

we need some headers on our SC430's so we can speed things up...I'm getting close!

There are video links on the forum with SC430s drifting in competition. Are they modified to do that?

Harold, our regular/mild modified sc430's can't drift. The ones you've seen on YouTube, they are exceptional ones. The owners must have spent lot of $$ to modify them to do that (drifting) :-). I give up on my sc430 project due to limited available parts. My sc430 has everything ready but turbo or supercharger. I have both G35's pictured above but nothing beats that "air" that I feel from our sc430 with the top down. Ned

The fastest I've taken my SC is 80mph on the tollway here in Dallas since the posted speed limit is 70.

I'm too square to go any faster.
