As mentioned, in their day they were significant performance vehicles
in the UK but we have moved on......a long long way.
A bit like a bland Shepherds' Pie but with brown sauce - eating them on their own is an effort, together it aint bad but the dish has evolved now with better meat, recipes and other ingredients and now it's better than that which was served with sauce. But you all remember the tang of the sauce on your tongue with pleasure.
Kind of Sean
But equally if the "new" Samuri's are being built in the old ways (gas axed springs, die grinding the head whilst still on the car, varying parts rosters, little or no documentation and over carb'd/cammed engines) then they will be no better than the cars being modified today.....or maybe we will see no's 75, 76 or 77 pull a 12 second 1/4.......
Maybe Mr Anderson would like to race for pink slips, oh hang on that would mean him having to come back over to the UK.
Would'nt it be nice to see the modern Samuris as possible hybrids with RB's or JZ's in them...even NA RB30's as a sign of the times with trick gearbox's, decent diffs, trick suspension and loads of other toys....anything other than the same old formula.
And BTW stop digging
and forget about these slaggers here who only know straight lines and safety barriers !
Continue in denial with the usual crap but its one of the oldest and purest forms of racing there is and as we have seen you can have oooodles of power and still lose so there is by inferance a high degree of skill required in that fraction of a second when you are launching, Its a skill set you'll never have even if you went to skills town climbed a skill tree, fell out and hit every branch on the way down.
And before anyone of the 267 Samuri owners comes on and gets a little annoyed, its not aimed at you, I'm just trying to add a little reality.
