And Get This, They Don't Even Need Inflating
For months we've been hyping up the much anticipated, double-sided NOS Energy Drink poster with the '08 N.E.D. girls, Corissa Furr and Alicia Whitten. Well, the girls are finally here in this month's newsstand edition (subscribers, that means you'll have to go out and grab another copy if you want this exclusive poster) and they're even hotter than we imagined. Remember, there are two sides to it, so you can pick the girl of your choice, not to mention it's life-sized. So for all of you who were claiming to be 5'6", let's see if that holds true because Corissa and Alicia stacked up pretty tall next to our staff. We want to see how creative you can get with these posters, so grab a digi-cam and get creative, funny, whatever-just keep your clothes on. NOS Energy Drink is going to be rewarding the best photos and we'll publish the winners in a future issue of Super Street! www.drinknos.com

Classic Super Street
May '98 Was Grrrreat It was our first visit to Japan ever and although it's only been a decade since, the GT-R was king back then like it is now. Surprisingly, there was informative tech (a very un-Super Street thing to do these days) as we demonstrated how to install a GReddy 18G turbo kit onto a late model DSM. Toyota shocked us with a manual V-6 Camry release and Veilside was the cat's meow with their wow-wow-wee-wow body kits that also spawned a revolution of knock-off combat kits.
D1 In The Us: No Mas
Bad news drift fans: D1GP announced early this year the cancellation of this year's D1GP US points series, citing conflicts and timing issues with Japan's D1. Plans are still set for the US versus Japan exhibition at the Irwindale Speedway in November, but whether the series plans to return in '09 remains to be seen. www.d1gp.com
