Did you just join, do some work with them for a few years, then asked to be stationed in Japan? And like do you have to work for them there, or do you just live there and work like a normal job or something? Are you ever on call or what? Just curious btw..

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
I'm sure the rest of the guys will chime in on their stories.

Yea super street sucks. Someone mentioned they try to be like Option but they'd never manage to pull that off as far as content. Option has section after section testing out different products, settings etc. Super gay wouldnt even think about doing that in fear of pissing off some of their advertisers. Turbo mag. is probably one of the few cool ones left.
Correction**-the RE FD has 500hp.

A-spec, RE's FD reached the 57's over a year ago (maybe 2?). AFAIK, it still has the record around Tsukuba for a street car although the HKS Altezza beat this by about 2-3 seconds. Then again, it's a $250K pure racecar that they've loosely translated as a street car. Full CF tub front, cantilever coil over suspension, etc...
RE's car puts out 450ps running a TD06 (25G?). Several cars are RIGHT on their tail, most notably, the Axia Sports two-rotor (2 HKS GT28's) and as always PanSpeed and FEED. Axia's just the newest "real" challenger. I can't remember which Option video it was, but the RE car pulled a 58 which PanSpeed beat. They tweaked it a bit, went back out onto the track and pulled a 57. Many of the tuner cars in the challenge sported 300 more hp (if their numbers were to be believed) but couldn't come within 3 seconds of the RE car. Amazing.

I guess that all depends on what you consider to be street legal. Are we talking the fastest to 60, or top speed, or 1/4 mile. The fastest to 60 I believe is either the 1994 Dauer Porsche 962 Lemans or the Callaway Sledgehammer both hit that speed in about 2.6sec.
Top speed would have to be the Callaway Sledgehammer it topped at 254.7mph. And for 1/4 mile I guess that would all depend, I have seen and worked on cars that are in the 7's that drive on the street.
I love the FD, but that title is a little much. Especially with Juns Skyline over there. Or Veilsides for that matter.

For you guys on Kazaa, look for this video:
Mazda RX-7 vs Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II (R34) vs Honda NSX
It's big, but it's worth it!
