I would imagine having a playground like this to hone your skills would keep you amused for quite a while, like one giant rally tarmac special stage :)

Apart from the straight line run at the start, all of that could be replicated in a Silvia with 150rwkw. Probably less.

What you really need is a skilled driver.

Skilled driver or not, a 150rwkw silvia will be struggling to do half the things in that demo.

Like I said before, the high speed stuff at the start wouldn't be possible but I don't see much of a problem with the rest.

Tyres and cones - Possible
Tight circles and tight turns - Easy
Big circle - Possible
S near the house - Possible
Cone U-turn - Possible
Circles around the segway dude - Easy (for the car)
360 through the warehouse - Possible
Tight circles in the barriers - Easy

You seem to have missed my point entirely in the other thread.

Maybe it could be done but not like that, not as fast not as much smoke, not as impresive. and thats a pretty fucken tight u turn.

Negro, please. If you'll re-check the thread you're referring to, you'll see that everyone else chimed in after I mentioned that putting an RB in a Silvia isn't a great idea unless you're building a drag car.

It's funny you mention ditching the power steering, since your car would be almost undrivable without it. My car on the other hand, was fantastic without it.

Exactly. While it might not be as impressive, it's still possible. As for the U-turn, he's cheating. Bloody AWD. :lol:

You got to be kidding me?
I believe that clip was 50% car, 50% driver skills, i'd like to see you try half what he did in a 150rwkw Silvia!

Funny you say that. The way you carry on my car would be almost undriveable with the rb in there to begin with and certainly wouldnt be able to turn a corner without understeering off the road. Guess I better head to the drag strip instead the track. Actually on second thoughts I might as well just do whatever the fk I want with my car which includes driving circles around you.

If you hadnt made such a stupid comment like that video could be done by a almost stock s13 (engine wise) we wouldnt be here in this predicament. I know I can drive my rb silvia faster than 95% of the people on here and skid it better than 99% of the people on here and this includes you sunshine.
