Do you guys really think ANY of those cars are pushing “well over 500HP” as the guy said?

EDIT: nice to see lots of RHD cars… gotta be BC or at least something close to there.

yes, most of those cars aren’t pushing anywhere near 500hp, but he was talking about D1 cars… it’s funny how stupid you sound when the editors edit stuff out eh? as you can see in the vid, they are in vancouver drifters society  
[www.vancouverdrifters.org](http://www.vancouverdrifters.org)

edit: the FD has around 500hp and it’s also RHD, and it is owned and operated by a ex-D1 japanese dude that has a shop in vancouver  
edit: wtf i suck at the internet :S

p.s. vancouver = skyline/anything RHD heaven of north america 😃

I just watched it on CTV at 11:00 am today. Would have been nice to have had it on a dry day, but some good stuff.

I was in Vancouver earlier this year and attended a NWN meet in Seattle. It was raining (obviously) and they had about 30 cars there, 7 were skylines (4 R32’s and 3 R33’s), a hand full of silvia’s and 180’s and a bunch of 240’s, 200’s (S12), maximas and others.

Illegal imports piss me off… though since it’s vancouver there is a good chance that some cars are there legally because their owner is here on a work visa from asia.

yes illegal imports are pretty gay  
but i believe all of the R34’s and R33’s on NWN are 100% legal because they are all US cars (registered in the state of washington)  
but i’ve seen a EVOIII and couple S15’s with BC plates…  
obviously those are illegal… bastards

Anyone know where I can upload it so people can download it?
