@ Super8: LOL, That would be cool, pull up next to a suped up Honda Civic or Nissan Z-car in this behemoth, blow their door off and watch everyone's jaws hit the ground. They could make a movie of it, "Fast N Furious 7 Osaka Drag".

Damn! I should buy this beast. A lot of people get scared when I challenge them with my Fastback Galaxie but if I use this, everybody will laugh and ask "Is that your grandma car? How about an embarrassing wangan race?" and I'll reply "Go ahead! But you'll never gonna catch me at Akasaka straight." ;)

This also a good example of sleeper sedan. It has faster acceleration than Monterey super since it has lighter body. The top speed remained same and It's also available with 4.11 final and big LSD. If plan to do a drag race with your wife and kids, you should use this car. It might be can confuse the other drag racer since it's has no different than other standard 4 door Galaxie unless you start the engine.
