High powered vehicles andracing are mine. I can't seem to get enough, if I could I would livenext to a race track. All my life I grew up around carswith my father being a mechanic therewas at least one or twocars to work on per night when he got home from his shift work.Hehas worked for Toyota as a master mechanic for over 30 years nowsomy familyis a Toyota only family(excludingthe F4i aka theblack sheep)

I previously owned a 1989 Toyota Supra turbo and recently have been lookingat purchasing a fourth generation supra like the ones in the videos i've posted. The car featured in the video is a 6 speed Toyota Supra with a 2JZ-GTE stroked to 3.4L running a GT47-88 single turbo set-up. It is putting down 1300+hp. In the video at 1 minute 53 seconds you see a black supra(1000+hp) laying down 30 foot skid marks at 80mph on mickey thompson slicks.

In the next video you have Ryan Woon's 3.4L 6speed daily driven Toyota supra running 8.88 @ 167(I know the time seems low for the trap speed but it's a supra for goodness sakes highway rolls FTW)

I've wanted something similar to these cars for a few yeas now, but it's a project that would end up costing near six figures. Which isn't bad considering the price of a 505hp corvette Z06 will run you almost $80K. Do any of you enjoy anything similar? whether it be high powered cars, planes, boats, bikes, weapons... you name it.

Im the same way played with cars and bikes for years.

Thats cool your family is a toyota family( so is mine).Ive been with toyota 16 years (MDT).I have built many 600+rwhp supras but never one for myself,TO expensive compaired to a domestic..Plus a well built domestic has way more streetability..

No other bad habits just cars and bikes.

I don't find myself drawn to domestics as much as imports for some reason, I can't say why really,although I have played with the idea of a 4th gen camaro or C5 Z06 don't get me wrong.

I never had a nice a car I like muscle cars. A couple years ago I had a 68 Camaro 396 4 speed built for me. Frame off resto by Camaro specialties. Turned out awsome. Not being bias but it really is one of the best non # matching Camaro out there. Aztec silver with black top and stripes. Had 17 inch Billet specialties wheels as one of the only add on. Has vintage a/c. Great car but she is for sale. Never saw rain always garaged. Anyone interested it is at a classic car dealer. Can give info and lots of pics. Autobarnclassiccars.com. Feel free to email me.
