DSM *LEGEND* Met him at Englishtown back in 2005, he was friendly and cool af. I had a hard time walking away from that engine bay. To this day, that Talon was so tight and clean for an AWD turbo unibody car...he was insane to run 7.97 in this same car. Props to him and his shop for their amazing overengineering of the DSM AWD drivetrain...his trans is more bulletproof than the presidential limousine.
Doing a bunch of bolt ons and easy to bolt in builds (EX: A Camaro, Mustang) is fine. But outside of the box builds with cars not normally seen, rocking parts not normally made is far more interesting.
I take my hat off and bow down to the KING OF THE STREETS!!! John Shepard, you are my ONE idol in life. In less than 5 years, I hope I get my chance to run against you! CHECK OUT MY DSM VIDEO!
thats not funny at all...shows his versatlility and the gtr driveline needed his help...if he can make a dsm hold togther its a given he could do the same with gtrs and evos....he has a 9 sec street evo, a 9 sec street gtr and a 7 sec race talon lol
i wouldnt go as far as to v8s are twice as fast as 4 cylinders...especially on the street..if that were the case, id be getting pimp smacked by them all the time. ive lived on both sides of the country and been around alot of performance minded peeps and i can count on one hand the cars that have defeated my lil shoebox of an evo !
Still a legend in my book. Saw him runs 7s before any other unibody. Period. AWD or otherwise. John was wayyy ahead of his time...

I miss these days dearly
Take me back to these days. Miss my 1G
I remember when this video was released. Those were rhe days when i was really into DSM's. Good times.
wont be back till 2010, with a 25.1e chassis ready for sub 7.5's.... insane to the max
Still watching in 2022!
shepard is the reason why i fuck with DSM
THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN, WE THE PEOPLE WANT SHEP TO RETURN TO THE TTTAAALLLOOONNN!!! (TALON!)
that ninja is my hero
the guy is fucking amazing
He is now in the mid 7's
extreme. it's a stock bumper with a portion cut out.
funny thing is now hes into the new GTR. and has started selling transmissions for them
That is not a 42R. This is his old setup before he went to the 42R.
its john shepard from mass effect
He's in the low 7's.
Shep is God.
nice!

yeah i know it lol but i jsut put "john shepard" in youtube, this must be him too.
i thought buschur said he built shepard motors in his talon i know he did in his evo but i remember him sayin he def built his 1g motor ????
wow i want one of those
If your Talon keeps breaking than your doing something wrong.
amazing.. i think in new zealand they run 400 meters.. thats 6 feet shorter then a 1/4 mile..
Any 2008 race video of Shepherd..?
V8 KILLA!!!
its 20 feet shorter, but at that speed, its not much of a difference
@corncornrocks mark vanderloo is the real life john shepherd lol. (not kidding)
Will he dust the cobwebs, and bring it to FL2K
@Dewey Boymann I just noticed that the names were similar
you are my idol im only runnin about 300hp in my 1g eclipse
Not true, there's an awd nissan GTR in NZ running 7.5s @ 190mph

I take my hat off and bow down to the KING OF THE STREETS!!! John Shepard, you are my ONE idol in life. In less than 5 years, I hope I get my chance to run against you! CHECK OUT MY DSM VIDEO!
That still isn't *faster* (195>190). It's quicker, but not faster. :p
John Shepard is the shit great racer and business man also only trans and tcase i will put in my evo.
No he isnt...7.7 was his best et and 195 is his best mph...fastest awd on the planet!
If I was gay, Id be on him.
But then it would be too easy, and uninteresting.
lol....?
