Speaking of Vipers, its a shame he didnt compete in Formula D with that bad ass black and orange Viper he had. That thing would put up TONS of smoke during the national anthem! Especially at that time (2004-2005?) Although I cant say how well he would have done... never seen him drift a car before....

He's just doin' for the Option, BMI, HV vid. He's personality is calm & really nice guy too. He's under rated, but he's ridiculously faster driver. He gave me few lessons and tips on how to drive fast w my (slow) car on the track. lol

In US, GT Live Tour.
Here's a pic of me and Tarzan. After 1st or 2nd time in beginner's track lap. I saw him and talking with him and after 3rd time, he commented (very detail too) on what I'm doing wrong and what I need to do.

And yes, he drove Subaru Outback. He was freaking fast w that Outback too.



After ward, he let me sit in the Outback too


Next yr GT Live Tour, I saw him eating lunch with his friend and he invited me & my friend to join with them.


Seriously, he's kind guy. I had several Q&A stuff with him and he took time to answer most of the questions.

LOL Nomuken is funny. I only met him once. He's also kind and unique person too.
