Hmmm. I've seen that sucker in person, very nice looking car. Coupla points:

(1) Gorgeous Wheels. SSR GT3s.

(2) Looks like he's running a Power FC. Nice to see a high hp car running one.

(3) Needs some tuning. Rich enough to choke a cow from 5k to 6k, too lean above 6.5.

(4) Refreshing to see a lack of the Boeing 747 wing.

(5) A Bose system still in there?

35k Seems pretty steep compared to all the other FDs for sale. Although, I'm not saying that it's not worth the $$$. He just probably won't get the $35k.

goodfella: i agree on those ssr's. i wish i could swing the $$ to even get a set of 17's.

kyle: if a noob does buy it he will probably kill himself within a matter of days. it always amazes me when inexperienced people buy these cars and don't realize just how fast they are (especially with 500hp)

No ****. Reminds me of a kid here locally, mommy bought him a supra with a single, easily a 700whp car. First time out at the track he put it straight into a wall.

Kids hear the big guys talkin about making crazy horsepower levels and think that 255hp is slow. Oh so little do they know. These cars with anything over 350whp is just ******* nuts, I can only imagine one with 600

reminds me when, i told some kids in a S2000 that my car has 255hp and they said "thats it???" funny, i showed them what 255hp is from the flame out of my duals.

That car was professionally built by MZM Performance, it is an extremely nice car and the paint job is flawless. I have actually seen this car in person and went for a ride in it while they were still in the tuning process. That car rips!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonder if that hood is a reworked stock hood or an aftermarket hood?

What kind of single turbo is that? It might just be too big for street driving: I have a friend who did a single turbo conversion on a supra and ended up hating it for street driving even though it puts out 650 rwhp on the dyno. sold it w/in 4 months. That might be the case here.


The paint on the hood seems to be different from the rest of the body.

I've owned one for almost a decade and it still scares the **** of me at times (like in the rain). Like when I put it into a wall 12 weeks ago

now it will be even faster
