Let's have a look-see at what disadvantages Blitz had with its R34 compared to the other cars in the D1GP. Well, the Skyline coupe weighs in at over 3,400lbs, which doesn't exactly make it a featherweight. An AE86 Corolla tips the scales at just over 2,000lbs and an S15 Silvia at 2,700lbs. That's the equivalent of rolling around with a bunch of Super Street editors in your car. Then, there are the extra two doors, which add another hundred pounds and about 7 more inches to the overall length of the car. That's enough to hurt anyone in the final point standings, but not Nomuken and the Blitz R34. In the '02 season for D1GP, the team placed Second in Round 7 and Third in the season's final standings. That means they left seven other people in the dust, or in this case, tire smoke. I guess disadvantages don't mean much when you have Blitz backing you. Now if we could only get the company to sponsor a mud-wrestling match.
