Who's red FD at SEMA???? VERY NICE!!!

I just got back home from SEMA today and wanted to know if anyone know's this car.

Is that a GT42 turbo? It's f*ckin huge!

Beautiful car that's very tastefully done. I'm very impressed and that doesn't happen very often with most FD's that i see. It seems as though quite a few are really riced out lately.

Looks similar but i'm pretty sure it's WAY smaller. The GT42 is a freakin' monster!

That does look like the GT-42....believe it or not that thing actually spools better than the T-88.

Really?? Looks like i need to invest in a new turbo

I really am going to be buying a new GT series turbo soon. I just don't know which one. I made a new contact at SEMA who is the largest Garrett distributor in the US so my pricing just went waaaaaay down

Marco is a straightforward guy and nothing against Marco but i am yet to see a GT-42 turbo in a car that is running
1) high hp #'s
2) 1/4 mile times
3) streetable and consistant
