no I just want to see if some rich guy wants to buy it.
So can think about purchasing the Supra when released.
Sorry about the whole Sport Z magazine deal I did not find out until a week later that you were asked to do the turbo shootout (IF THATS WHAT YOU WANT TO CALL IT)on behalf of P.E..
I heard you went w/ the APS setup hows it working out for ya. I recently put the proto type casted manifolds that P.E. released on the Z and not even 3500 mi. and the driver side allready cracked.So APS is in the back of my mind.

Hate to burst your bubble but there won't be a new Supra. I know directly from Toyota (not a sales guy but a real Toyota person) They are completely focusing on Hybrids that's why they stopped all their sports cars...no more celica, no more MR2's and no new Supra...

I think you should race the Porsche, don't know what kit you got but if it's a decent TT you should have a good chance

Turbo 911s are pretty scary right out of the box man...be careful.

What kind of Porsche is it? If it is a TT Porsche and it is from the factory, RUF, Zuffenhausen you are up against a mean machine. All are AWD and unless you are putting down serious power be careful. I would love to see it. And you can definitely win, just a lot of things to think about. Tell more about the Porsche you would race.....

That's not what I heard from my buddies over at Calty Design here in newport beach (toyota's design house for the U.S.). I got a couple friends working there designing cars, and they say there is a sports car being developed for 2008, but it won't be called a supra.

Lexus is coming out with a super car that's beyond Supra. Its the LF-A. It has nothing to do with the Supra.
