V8 240sx swap .... best car in the world?

[tiggertsi]

ran across this a few hours ago ........
http://jalopnik.com/is-the-v8-swapped-nissan-240sx-the-best-car-in-the-worl-1671863659

it's a posting and video where Carlos Lago, Associate Road Test Editor for Motor Trend, seems to think so. Interesting video, i'd love to find out for myself as well one day.

Wow! I have not seen this before

[No 240.. No id]

Maybe because Carlos Lago can't afford to buy a ferrari, lambo or porche.. Therefore he got to settle for less lolol

That's actually pretty darn cool

Great video to finally give all the street tuners props for discovering it first. What it took pro builders on a professional status with particularly unlimited sponsors money to build, what we all have seen roll through a red light or show up and stealing your girl at a Steak and Shake parking lot for a late night car show. Just shows that these pages of zilvia that we all probably browse through every day are actually years ahead of what they are thinking and talking about in board rooms of attempting for the next magazine cover. Just got to make it original and make it right stop half ass'in feel me. Just hope kats reading and watching that video article can finally feel some what appreciated that few of you guys have been there and done that already too. Just shows that we all do know alittle about a lot just not all are privileged with the budget to get a LS3 E-Rod that cost $7400+ and a T-56 Super Magnum that runs $4500+. We all do it on our day to day budgets and with a smile of accomplishment. Cause to be honest would you really spend the money on a La-Ferrari or would you build another stupid fast 240sx... maybe up grade to a G35 for kicks and jiggles...

i didn't start it about the motor trend car. i started it about the video where he describes why he thinks a v8 swapped ls1 240sx is the best car in the world. what he describes could apply to a multitude of ls1 swaps. sheesh people smoke some weed or something and calm down.

Everyone wants to be a mod..... In for discussion of v8 supremacy....

That is the Motor Trend Car.
That video was posted in that thread. It is part 4 of the series on the car.
It is totally on topic for that thread and you should have not started a new thread on the same topic.

You are the one that needs to lay off the weed.
