  • The art of the party car is a kind of science that we’re really into. It doesn’t follow any rules. Some dudes just build something cheap, or easy to work on, or something that helps their sponsors. But every once in a while you’ll get some real fun builds - like this true four seater drift car built out of an M35 and Chris Forsberg’s old pro car V8. Sign us up.

    I own an m35x, such cool cars. The interior is comparable to an expensive luxury car and the power throws you back in your seat. If you’re looking for something cheap, luxurious, and reliable, I seriously recommend this car. I’ve had it for over a year and I’ve only put $500 into it.

    You can tell how comfortable Larry is with Chris and his driving abilities having worked with him for so long. Chris comes ripping into the garage and Larry does not move a muscle. Cool thing to notice. Also, Shout out to Notre Dame football with the "Play like a Champion Today" sign above the door.

  • @VolaticeOfficial
    @VolaticeOfficial 3 года назад +1

    Nissan did make this car with a V8 from the factory! It came with a VK45 and the next generation actually came with the VK56 in it. There's also the first generation from 2003-2004 that only came with the VK45 and was based on the y34 Nissan Gloria

    Nooooooo! The M cars are overlooked and underatted. People trip when they hear that V8 sound coming from my Infiniti M45 sport cause most people don't even know about them they accoiate Infiniti with the G cars most of time. Please keep the M cars off the radar they don't need to be catching on and becoming trendy to own like the G cars 😂. Nice build either way. 👍
