    Jeebus! Speed Challenger: Bensopra 380SX

    Whoa...I want this REALLY bad!

    It was about three months ago, on my last trip down to the Kansai area of Japan, that I realized I was standing in front of THE car of 2013. As Ueta-san of BenSopra ran the plans he had for his 180SX-based project by me, it quickly became obvious that there wasn’t going to be …

    It appears to be missing it's rear bumper. Not so good for aero when you're targeting 400kph

        It will be driven the way it should be, and the bumper was not completed in time for TAS, but it will be installed for Italy.

        What I wonder is why they didn't call it the 400SX.

            The engine was firstly refreshed and fitted with a Trust 4.0L stroker kit and then dropped back in place in its new home.

                  I read fine. Who knows why they didnt name it 400sx. Either they couldnt get a sticker or they wanted to name it 380 cause its a 3.8 originaly. Not everyone re names their e30 when they stroke it right?

                  But that makes too much sense.

                    Ummmmm.....NO.

                    Lots of people call their modified e30's things like 357iS, 340i, 2.7i, 332iS, 300iS, 331iS, etc. Your argument is invalid.

                          only beamer can officially designate cars. everything else is a nickname
                          The day I bought my e30, was the day I became sophisticated and classy as fuck.

                              I also own a bunch of goats, I consider myself a goat-naming aficionado as well. I could help you name your goats some day.
