Obviously the rules are to open at the moment, because in theory I could turn up with a full tube chassis turbo 5spd liberty rwd 7 sec car, I'm sure if it does take off, which it will, this is what will happen.

At the moment we're leaning towards doing the turbo engine for this event.

You're joking right? Most Stage 1 tuned Skylines should run somewhere in the 12s, presuming it's a GTR

I might be exagerating but there really not that quick my mates 200sx not even putting out 300bhp would do most GTR`s with minor modifications. Plus seeing a 300bhp GTS getting toasted by a 300bhp pulsar really bought it home that liners arent as quick as everyone thinks unless there well modded, then there is the fear of bottom end bearings which a friend of mine had found out to his wallets disatisfaction twice
