ACACars.com, I don't know if they have it listed yet, but someone should be able to get a really good deal on my Z. They were really helpful in making the numbers work to get the deal done for the Supra. The sales guy I dealt with is Waseem (925) 400-5225. He is a younger guy and really into cars. Their lot has something like 600+ cars and plenty of high end vehicles at good prices if you are in the market. They are also opening a lot three times the size in the Sacramento area pretty soon.

Okay there was my sales pitch.

Supra's and Z's are so much better than being just draggers.

Since I know Rob was involved in this, you MUST have g-tech'd it already. How did it do? I'm guessing 13.5@104mph... =)

BAH! Where are your roots, boy?!? Who needs to do an "engine swap" to run a 9s quarter mile? Don't forget - the VG30DETT RULES. This is a full-interior, A/C, everyday street car:

Here is the timeslip for the 9.94@140:

Here is the 9s VIDEO: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...25512919441899

But if we're going to talk engine swaps, might as well stuff one of those VG30DETTs into a 280ZX that runs 10.0 at 140+

Nope, not yet, but we did have a little fun...



Oh wait, that was after the fun aka some idiot in an Audi with a BOV.

They are joking. The Supra interior totally rules!

Yeah, I'm sure he was kidding. He loves Supras just like any other car enthusiast.

Hey Scott, what are your HP/TQ numbers again. I have to make sure I pick a turbo kit that can keep up with you. I am more interested in a fast spooling turbo with more mid-range power. I am not looking to build a 1,000HP monster... 600-700 will do just fine.

I will probably shorten the gears add a good mid-range cam and a torque converter... so many parts... sigh... I need to stop before I go bankrupt...
