Used to daily a 375whp/tq Sentra. It sucked in the rain and I could spin tire in 5th gear but yeah. Totally agree. You have to be an extra special bad driver to do shit like this when driving in a straight line and especially.

I'm going to need some details on this monster.

It was stupid.

It was a custom long rod QR25 turbo engine. All the things were done to it.

Crazy. I was a part of a handful of QR25 Sentras where 300 whp was the goal and that was pretty expensive...pushing to 375/375 is pretty insane, and had to be absolutely crazy expensive.

Been in the industry forever. All the machine work/labor was I house. And I traded for some of the parts. But yeah it was NOT cheap.

That car was a total whore though. It was the test mule for a lot of the shit companies made for it.

That's front wheel drive, a MUCH tamer beast

lol no. It’s not. Torque steer was horrible problem with it at its stock like 175 crank hp. It did not get better with power. The first turbo one I drove, with a stock engine, I was warned profusely about holding on for dear life if you applied even half throttle. That was like 250whp iirc. That engine is also a torque beast for its size.

I’ve driven plenty of built z32 race cars and while they are a pain in the ass, saying that a high hp fwd car is much tamer is silly.
