​Why did you choose this car?

GABRIEL: "The 350z has always been an iconic car, and I personally gained an eye for it at an early age in my life." 
​




​What was the main goal when the build started?

GABRIEL: "When I first got the car the goal was to build it to my own liking. Started with just lowering it a bit and a new set of wheels. The more I explored different Japanese styles -time attack, drift, and stance - the more I became fascinated with camber. I then began putting together ideas on how I could bring this vision to life. Little did I know, what I wanted to do was unexplored territory and I had to innovate pretty much 100% of this build." 
​




​Do you have a unique story behind the car or build?

GABRIEL: "As my vision for the car started coming together, it became a lot more than just a build. It became a passion. A drive to achieve what had never been done before. This brought so much love and support, but also received quite a lot of negativity. One of the most challenging things I had to learn while building this car was to always stay true to your dream. Never let anyone else’s judgment alter your vision. No one knows your dream like you do. That’s what makes it unique."
​



What are your future plans for the car?

GABRIEL: "I’d continue innovating, inspiring others, and helping them believe in themselves. Whether that be through cars or not it truly does not matter. The lessons learned are applicable to many parts of day to day life. There have been many times where I’ve lost the motivation to continue doing what I do, but I will continue to push boundaries with every new setup." 
​




​Is there anything you would have done differently if you could go back?

GABRIEL: "I honestly wouldn’t change much, if anything at all. I’ve learned so many things with this build. Things that apply not only to cars but to things in my personal life. One of the greatest things I’ve learned is to never give up on yourself. Give everything you do 110% of your effort. You can achieve anything you put your mind to."  
​



​Shoutouts

GABRIEL: "To my son Mason always remember to believe in yourself and that you could accomplish anything you you set your mind to. None of this could be possible without my right hand man Richard Ramirez “ @rich_therunner “. When him and I put our minds together we could accomplish anything. Last but not least my guys Antwan Morales “ @Zell_F22 and Jonathan Lozada “ @jdm_4g63_mirage “ for being there every step of the way. Alway, Believe The Hype “ @believethehype__ “"
