Racing, driving fast, and customizing cars is often perceived as a man's game. That's not at all the reality, of course--many women share the same passions. Here's a great example: This little girl is one of us. She probably inherited her love for speed from her dad, who owns the modified 1,000-horsepower GT-R she loves to "go fast" in. From the moment she gets in the car, she asks if she can push buttons and eggs her dad on to going fast--three times. It's clear, at any rate, that she didn't get the go-fast genes from her mother--her dad has to swear her to secrecy before punching the...

Switzer Nissan GT-R Hits 1,212 HP On The DynoRunning 33 psi of boost is, by some standards, not all that extreme. Running 33 psi of boost in a flame-spitting Nissan GT-R built for the purpose by Switzer is nutty. Our kind of nutty. Like 1,212-horsepower nutty. Of course, that's horsepower at the crank. At the wheels you'll find...

In Europe, importing a car is easy. You simply arrange for it to be shipped, have it inspected to ensure it meets local safety laws, and pay any applicable taxes. In the U.S, all of the above also hinges on the car being over 25 years old, after which point the usual NHTSA and EPA regulations are softened for "collector" vehicles. One particularly special vehicle has just crossed that barrier--the R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R. And right on cue, one American driver has imported the very first example to U.S. shores. Actually, that isn't strictly the case. As Road & Track posted on Kinja, an R32...
