Planned to, but this came up outta nowhere. Couldn't say no. The GT3 will have to wait.

Should be making a good 400hp then haha. Go Holley for the EFI kit. They are super easy to tune and work pretty good.

I saw this quote without the photos in my e-mail inbox.

I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I clicked the link, but that wouldn't have been one of my first guesses.

Congrats on the new ride.

Only my closest friends would have even had a clue. Nobody saw this coming. I never thought I'd have enough cash together to get one of these. I got a killer deal.

That is NOT what I expected!

Looks super clean. I grew up always wanting a mopar, specially wanting a 70 cuda 340 6pack. I joined the Army at 17 so I couldnt do an old car living in the barracks so I got a Dodge Neon R/T and added a turbo kit (Pre- TFAF).

And thats how I became a boostaholic.

Don't sell the Supra short!. Those things are punching above their weight class as much as the Evo ever did. I'm impressed more and more every day.
The GL has been a long, long time coming. It took me this long to be in a situation where I would have enough cash to jump on one when it presented itself. It helps that the guy gave me a killer deal. It also came with some extra parts and some props and other swag (stuff used in the TV show and items given to cast and crew members) from the studio. And I still paid about $15,000 less than most are in this ridiculous market. I've never been a lucky guy, my entire life, probably because it was all saved up for that moment

One of the most fun autocross type events I ever did was on a go-kart track with a neon RT. It was my friend's daughter's car. Our lap times were all so close... We just kept taking turns bettering each other. It was like Formula 1 qualifying on a budget lol I probably had the most fun since I went fastest

If you get one, post up what you think should be upgraded. I like reading multiple points of view on that platform.
