Default Good bye Z, hello...

The Z is gone and in an unusual set of circumstances I wound up with another car...


1997 Supra TT with 55K miles. Black on black and sexy as all hell. Life is funny sometimes.

Hahaha, retro...

The car already has an HKS Dragger exhaust and K&N intake. I'm cool with that for now. I still need to pay off bills, so as tempted as I will be, more mods will have to wait.

Yeah, I had other plans... just didn't think I would get one so soon. I am definitely down to do some runs once I start modding.

Well...I believe it is considering how many 1000whp Supras are out there on the streets. You can just do a quick search & easily find a bunch of Supras with that much whp.

It's an auto. I originally wanted a 6-speed, but after consulting with some people and reading up on the high HP Supras, a lot of them are autos, including cars that have over 1,000HP. (i.e. Sound Performance and Titan Motorsports, "The world's fastest street Supra")

I purchased the Supra for one reason, to go fast in a straight line, an auto tranny better suits those needs.

Sweet! Congrats, Lou! I heard about that car. "To go fast in a straight line" - let's do it! ;-) Don't forget about the flamesuit that you, too, will need.

I still have the MR2. It's at ZCG right now getting a new turbo, ceramic coated exhaust manifold, bigger intercooler, 3" downpipe and 3" exhaust. After I get it back, it's going to the girlfriend. We are a turbo Toyota couple, hahaha.

It will be awhile before I get to that point, but hey, let's all try to get kicked off of the track on the same day!
