i decided to put myself in this situation kyle.
there is no track to match this kind of driving.
shit. even option supports illegal touge.
im not saying its right though...
but i know it was safe, well.... i know there was no traffic
i realize i could have been severly hurt or hurt somebody(not in this situation)

but a little 30 second run, at 35 mph doesnt do justice to what these cars are really made to do.

General Automobiles (modis tranportation operandi) were designed to transport you from point a to b, in a resonable manner, and nothing else. A 240sx is a General Automobile. These cars (especially yours) were NOT designed to do this. The difference between your car, and a full D1 car is drastic.

either way.... +1 on it buffing out

so what exactly are you getting at?
his car has full suspension, and other work done to it.
what exactly makes "especially his" car not capable of togue driving?

Yeah... Your right.. They do drive to work, grocery store, school, and home at speeds +- 5 from the posted speed limit under normal driving conditions, temperatures, and people with normal driving skill a lot better than they do at 35mph for 30 seconds.........

After all, its what it was "made" to do

Suspension? What about Roll cage? Safety Equipment?

D-1 cars have Seam Welds, and other bracing welded in as well...

my point is....a standard 240 with suspension (including mine) is a far cry from what pro's drive.

and he wasnt driving on a pro track either.
and a roll cage certainly wouldnt have prevented that dent.
