Not Ranked
There are a few Skylines down here and at least 2 R34's. One of them is a Nismo-modified beast known locally as "Godzilla". The closest thing we have to a racetrack here is an old USAF base from WW2. It left behind an extensive complex of 60' wide, super flat concrete roads that are quite useable for (very) short tracking, slaloms and drag racing. The drags are the only semi organized thing right now and even that's a stretch with atrocious security and safety issues that keep most of the more serious people away. I am currently working behnd the scenes with others to get something organized and running. There is lots of speculation about the inevitable showdown between Godzilla and my Cobra. His fastest recorded time in the 1/4 is in the very low 13's so I know I can dust him in a straight line. The problem too, is that these cars are always breaking and spend far more time being worked on than being driven. I look forward to meeting him on the track as the concrete has a weathered, super grippy texture to the surface that lets a car like the Cobra launch hard and stick to the track in turns in a way that is impossible on asphalt. Oversteer can be induced with controlled, predictable results and I truly believe that the 4wd advantage will be minimized. Bottom line; THIS cobra (there are so many variables with Cobras) is lighter and faster than THAT Skyline and I am confident that I can take him on THIS track under THESE conditions.
