    I'm just a street driver but sneak into y'alls world every once in a while to catch some cool video. Ran across this wicked quick 200 inline six video.

    Cool, kinda looks like a 4-door mustang.

    That HAS to be 255 km/hr, not mph. This is Australia, isn't it?

    Maverick maniac,

    Haven't read our NHRA rules lately, but anytime a car goes over 130mph in
    the quarter it used to be manditory to have a chute.
    The Maverick I have was a contestant at the 1979 Winternationals in Pomona and has a chute, although I don't think I will need it here in NorCal................at least I hope I don't.

    The 3.5-liter V6 DOHC engine of 2003 Nissan Pathfinder has 240 hp,

    Looks like a another engine swap that need to be looked into. Now that would be a retro-mod.

    Of course cost could not be an issue.
