Message Didn't really notice your screen name until the other day when I seen the name. So I asked back then and you replied yes, that you are part of the Escort racing team. Well, hell I'd like to know some things about your car if I may.

For starts, nice racing and representing the Nissan/Z32 world all over. Secondly, the car still has a based VGTT motor right, just build for is applications ( racing )? What turbo's does it have and what kinda PSI do you guys run? I seen in racing magazines where they've interview your team and Jorge Lazcano team. Not sure which it was, but saying something to the fact that the car has way more power, but you have to tune it down for the track it's on, like conditions, which makes sense and all. But where you guys or them there when the Toyota Celica team broke into the 200mph zone and became the first to do it?

Which leads me to ask, with that way and car is set up and have G-forces pushed to the back of the cars on initial take off under a very heavy boost or NOS load like yours, why is FWD cars doing just as good and even better in the Celica's case? By motion alone, one would think that all the force is being compressed on the rear suspension and hence the rear tires, which is now being made and force to stay on the pavement. Just kinda puzzling it seems.

Next, what's your thoughts on the V-8 motors being put in your class of racing? Since no Supra using a JZ motor has broke in the 7 second barrier, yet HKS came out with the Supra powered with the Tundra V-8 with twin turbo's that run's 6 seconds. Is that fair or is it a run what you brung as long as the rules apply? Given that using the car stock base platform motors, you can over bore it so far before the walls become to thin as we all know, but will never come up and be level in the displacement in that 8 cylinders that are also bored out some 30. 40. over which leads to a greater advantage would you not agree? I also seen that they where put in your class, because there's not many of them and it's draws sales tickets, yet you guys have to face that and your in it to win it.

Next is, your car is capable of running 200mph and a 6 second time. What steps or plans have you guys looked at in achieving that time? What's your thoughts on the Toyota Supra over shadowing the Z32 performance mostly on the street level and why did your team go with a Z32, when for so many others, they went for the JZ even thought times have shown that it's not a better car. But then again it took teams like yours and Jorge's to prove that.

Lastly, tell us about your car's set up. How much power, boost and what RPM launch do you do?

STAGE V++++
Going to XIII and beyond :)
