M Coupes with the TC turned off are one of the easiest cars to do donuts in. Don't get me wrong...you could hear those turbos spitting and I'm sure that car is mean, but you really don't need a twin turbo setup to do that in an M Coupe.

BTW...how funny is the Silvia that comes in at the end to try to "join in" and fails miserably...lol.

He could gain 50 more hp by going on a diet.

Never met George, but Brian once went above and beyond to fix my buddy's problem with his APR-chipped 1.8T GTI, so they're OK in my book.

I know Jimmy, George's brother who owns The Shop in Norwalk, pretty well. Oddly they just "swapped" tuners. Al of DynoFlash infamy went to ICS and Junior went to The Shop, from what I hear.

Jimmy once said something about wanting me to run the retail space at the front of the property in Norwalk (after the whole legal debacle with Mitchell of SpeedSport had subsided), but I never heard anything about it again.

What's the story with George and Jimmy? I heard (heard being the key word) that they had pretty serious beef with one another. No brotherly love I take it...
