At the Future Collector Car Show, Larry Chen unveils a spectacular lineup of automotive gems. Among them stands the awe-inspiring HKS r33 demo car, radiating power and prowess on Yokohama tires. But the real star of the show is the Nismo GT3 car, a beast born from the GTR chassis and handcrafted by Nismo's skilled artisans. This factory-built marvel boasts a carbon fiber body, FIA homologation, and a GTR motor with forged internals, ready to conquer the GT America series.

The Nismo GT3's engineering brilliance shines through its dry-sumped motor, rear transmission, and meticulous design for optimal performance. As Larry delves into the details of this racing masterpiece, the car's history unfolds, showcasing its track record at prestigious circuits like Suzuka and Shanghai. The car's privateer status adds a touch of exclusivity, with full factory support ensuring its longevity on the racing scene.

Switching gears, Larry shifts focus to his own 1980 Corvette, a unique blend of American muscle and JDM flair. This customized beauty sports a 2JZ engine for drifting, custom suspension, and wheels that required frame modifications for a perfect fit. Inside, the Corvette exudes Japanese inspiration with Bridge seats, a Grip Royal steering wheel, and a wireless radio control unit, adding a touch of modernity to this classic ride.

The Corvette's stock 350 engine, fuel injection system, and electric power steering pump promise a thrilling driving experience, with plans for future drifting adventures on the horizon. Larry's passion for automotive craftsmanship and attention to detail shine through as he navigates the complexities of fitment and customization, creating a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that blends the best of American and Japanese automotive cultures.
