Either way this has been a fantastic build so far.

I would love to see this N/A setup or the SC Stillen proposal without a doubt. I feel the Zen approach is great if you're doing Touge or some sort of class oriented track driving when you want to keep within a class.

SIDE NOTE: For anyone curious about this Amuse kit, I saw it at Import Reactor, and it looks WAY better in person. THE ONLY thing I don't like about it was on the rear bumper, the part in the middle that is black, I would rather not have glossy but would rather flat black. Loved it other than that.

Zen? Psh please if you wan't zen go park the damn thing outside a Buddhist temple and appreciate how at one with the environment it is while it isn't running. I love the japanese approach I see it as 2 guys in the car going for a drive

Driver: Ahh oh yeah feel that?

Passenger: what? this isn't much faster than my HR.

Driver: no no your supposed to be appreciating the ZEN

Passenger: OH sorry i didn't realize that, well you do have a nice interior

I would like to see it done right, all blown out. New low compression pistons then have Stillen do up a custom super charger kit, put up some big numbers, and finally just because you can feed her a bottle.
