In this exhilarating video from the Larry Chen channel, we delve into the captivating world of time attack racing. The star of the show is none other than the S14, a car with a rich history spanning two decades. Larry Chen himself takes us on a journey through the car's evolution, from its origins as a street car to its current state as a formidable time attack machine.

With a twinkle in his eye, Larry recounts how the S14 underwent multiple revisions, each one pushing the boundaries of performance. Inspired by the OG time attack cars, the team transformed the S14 into a powerhouse, boasting a Nitto 2.2L stroker engine that delivers a mind-boggling 750 horsepower. The car's arsenal includes a Garrett G35 900 turbo, a dry sump kit, and a new splitter. With these upgrades, the S14 has reached a whole new level of performance.

But Larry, being the humble man that he is, admits that he is not the one behind the wheel for the upcoming time attack event. Instead, he hands the reins over to the talented John Boston from Track School. John's wealth of experience and innate skill make him the perfect candidate to extract every ounce of performance from the S14. Larry knows his limits as a driver and acknowledges that John's expertise will take the car to new heights.

As we delve deeper into the car's intricate details, we discover the sequential transmission, Nismo LSD, and shockworks coilovers that contribute to its exceptional handling. The S14's striking livery, featuring digital camo and fighter jets, is a testament to Larry's love for all things adrenaline-fueled. And let's not forget the menacing shark mouth adorning the front, a last-minute addition inspired by the 992s in the US.

With World Time Attack looming, Larry and his team are aiming for greatness. They set their sights on breaking into the elusive 31s, but anything in the 30s would be cause for celebration. And if by some miracle they manage to dip into the 29s, Larry vows to throw a party that will go down in history. The S14 is a testament to their passion and dedication, a machine that embodies the spirit of time attack racing.

So buckle up, my friends, and prepare for an adrenaline-fueled ride as Larry Chen and his team unleash the full potential of the S14. This is a story of determination, innovation, and a love for pushing the boundaries of what a car can achieve. It's time to witness the S14's true power as it takes on the challenges of World Time Attack.
