USA Scene

Carbon and Chrome, this is the USA. Big power and bling, silicon valley and silicon implants. the tuning world of steriods and surgery where anything goes and freedom of expression rules.

3rotors on the road. Options by Pettit racing produce probably the ultimate road going seven. with 500hp and bags of torque on tap you can take on any corvette you like. As long as you can put up with the ugly rear fenders it could be a real option. Peter farrel has also been around for a while and his accomplishments on the Pikes Peak hill climb take the FD to new territory. I guess for a while now the Americans have been shoving small V8's and adding Cubic inches to the rotary. I guess its in their blood.

The tuning scene throws fuel costs to the weeds and big power rules the day, any way you can get it. With little Turbo experience, like in Austrlaia with it's v8 heritage, these modifications seemed warranted. But these days as D1 places a heavy influence, as well as the tokyo drift experience. Somehow the Veilside FD will seem right at home in America. Wild custom lines that show no trace of the original machine underneath sits well with the American culture of making the FD their own. As more and more companies provide rip off copies of Japanese originals maybe the scene will change but if bigger is better, you can't get more that a big, fat wide body FD with a boat load of power. I love it.
