We all know how our X's can leave everyone in the dust on a winding, curvy road, however, off the line we are a bit lacking.
Watch the video of what this guy did in his garage with an old 1972 Datsun. The way it blows the muscle cars off the line in the quarter mile, it makes you wonder what Detroit has been doing. If the thumbnail link doesn't work, I've also included the web link.
