I bought the car for $50,000 already modded, ripped it apart to the shell, sold off all the parts and ended with about $15,000 into the clean 97 6-Speed, 32k mile roller. I could NEVER have gotten a car that clean for that price without parting it out the first time. The final dollar figure into the car even getting it at 14k to start is well over $150,000.

Thank you. I'll put that engine bay up against any street driven Supra with a/c, traction control, etc.....

No spray. It made 1300+ at the tire on boost alone. Yes it's a 6 speed car.

It's a street car. I doubt I'll ever take it to the strip. The brakes make it impossible to get a slick on it and I'm pretty sure it's going to have a devil of a time dead hooking out of the hole on 18 inch drag radials.

wow... that must be a beast to keep in a straight line!
I had Factor-X completely laser align all four corners, scale the car, and dial in every aspect of the suspension. It was very costly and time consuming, but the car is VERY controlled because of it.

Wow, for $150,000 I could take on 3 of my dream projects.

A 1976/77 Celica fastback rebuild.
A 1975/79 Nissan S10 rebuild.
My 240SX rebuild.

None of those would touch that Supra. Unless I poured all $150,000 into the Nissan with an RB26DETT build.

How long was the build time?

very impressive for boost alone. I see to many spras with BS parts on it. Your car is very clean and nothing but top notch parts. We use virtual works and BL stuf on all our supras too
Any plans to spray it?.
