Well today was the day I have been waiting for for the past 4 months!!! We cranked it up and took it 4 a test drive ..... Im sorry but words can and will not be able to describe this car under boost!!!! Other than HOLY ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At 60 just crusing along we punched it and there was like a 2 sec delay then it happened..... The wrath of GOD took over the car!!! 60 to 130 instantly!!!! auto tranny went through 3 gears in less than 3 seconds!!!! Burned the tires all the way from 60 to 130!!!! (mind u 11.5" wide nitto 555 drag radials on this thing) The scary part is it isnt even tuned yet! And even scarier...that was w/ out nitrous!!! I was actually affraid 4 my life (even buckled into the 4 pt harness!!!) This was a life altering experience!!! This car (untuned) feels just as fast as one of our 1/4 million $ 730 whp Rolex Series Corvettes!!! OMG!!! I was shaking when I got out! I am truly affraid for my customers life! I am going to require he have a roll cage put in and reccommend that he goes to driving school!!!

I will keep u posted on numbers this week when it comes off the dyno.


p.s. The automatic tranny is the best thing in the car!!! I dont see how you can controll this thing if it were stick! It goes through the gears so freaking fast!!!! Like goes 4K rpms instantly!!! No BS...

To all of you out there that have never experienced a car of this power I cant even try to explain things 4 u to comprehend what this feels like!

Tom

Thanks! We are a Rod Millen Motorsports Dealer, so we had them build us a custom torque converter. If you need we can get you one.

I would love to see that thing at a autocross, I bet it would get slowest time of the day, all lag then start spinning the tires. I but it looks GREAT on a dyno. Also why do I never see these at the road racing I do? I guess the road race track is too kool for most supra and street racing is "Where it's at" lol
