So what about the guy who likes a modest B-cup?
Something like the girl next door, who takes kickboxing
lessons?
Enter the Nissan Pulsar GTi-R. SR20DET, all-wheel drive,
2-door hatchback, ricebox. It’s almost like a Subaru
Forester before it tacked on its freshman 15, or a Civic
hatch on mega-roids. It’s a nimble, odd, inconspicuous
little car, that’s full of power potential.
The current owner Kevin picked up this piece of obscure
JDM contraband from Craigslist, with full intentions of
using it as a daily driver. And he does just that.
Kevin works at Enjuku Racing, and also runs in the
Formula Drift Pro 2 Championship. So the prospect of
dailying a 300+ awhp rarity is nothing out of the ordinary
considering the lifestyle.
“My most favorite part of the car hands-down: is the look
on people’s faces when they pull up next to it thinking it’s
just an old Civic or GTI… then I catch ‘em at a light and
blow their doors off out of the hole,” says Kevin.
This GTi-R is the true sleeper spirit. It leaves it’s
opponents flabbergasted; bumbling, trying to figure out
what just happened… as the unfamiliar taillights throw
its hazards on the de-accel from banging gears. It’s
like an alien encounter. No one will believe you if you
tried to explain, and you couldn’t explain even if you
wanted to because you have no idea what the heck just
spanked you so hard. It’s the car behind enemy lines; an
insurgent; the stealthy sleeper.
