    Scary Moment Yesterday.

    Toyota/Lexus buys components from vendors just like GM, Ford and Chrysler. The problem is in the way they treat the vendors and their main focus which is lower costs first and quality second. Here's a good article about this...

    Dr. Roof's 1108HP Twin Turbo Dyno Sheet

    Re: Dr. Roof\'s 1108HP Twin Turbo Dyno Sheet As freaking impressive as 1108 RWHP and 1200+ RWTQ is I am more impressed by the fact that this was done at only 14.5 PSI!!!!!! I would love to see what it does at 20+ PSI!!!!!!! :2tu: What are the details on the engine? Stroker? Stock...

    JERKS!

    Been there, I had someone spit on a couple of my Supras while parked at a movie theater. I had someone throw a milkshake at another one of my Supras while parked. At least stuff like this doesn't do permanent damage like keying the car or kicking it or something. I have also had kids come up to...

    Comp Coupe Wins Second Formula Drift Event at Houston

    For whatever it's worth "true" drifting rewards not only the best car control but also the fastest around the track. Good drifters go around 100 MPH on good size (larger) tracks. As far as losing to a "lesser" car. I have lost to POS Pintos, Chevettes, Civics etc. drag racing. But these POS...

    1000hp Viper on Ebay

    I know for a fact the car dynoed 880 RWHP on NOS. As far as the second listing on Ebay, not sure what was up with that. I do know I have seen my own car (on the sig) on Ebay 5 times, under 5 different Ebay handles. They were all fraudulent auctions trying to scam people. I emailed one of the...

    My new-to-me Silver 98 GTS with 19" HRE 543 wheels.

    Re: My new-to-me Silver 98 GTS with 19\" HRE 543 wheels. Sweet car Phoenix! Was this an AZ car when you bought it? I don't think I have ever seen it around.

    Scared to dead a Ferrari 360 Modena driver

    I had the same exact thing happen with a LPE Stage II Twin Turbo Corvette owner;) And that was when I had a 1994 Supra with a T66 Turbo (650 RWHP);) Sometimes the best wins are the easiest wins;)

    > LAS VEGAS or CALIFORNIA for an added V-10 Nats city? <

    The Vegas Supra meet is in early october, we have usually either run on Friday night with the "Friday night drags/run what you brung" crowd. Last year we had the track with some other fast cars on Saturday I believe. Having an event in January with the Supra guys probably wouldn't be too hard...

    EBAY Alert...This is good

    There are definitely lots of scams out there. In the last 2 months I have seen MY car on Ebay 5 times! Each time I have to email the Ebay "security" people to inform them of the fraudulent auction, they keep stealing the pictures from here: http://www.suprastore.com/19trdwi95hks.html Since...

    My new TWIN TURBO Viper

    Would be WAY cool to see the dyno number:) I can see how the car would have a hard time hooking up making so much HP and especially torque down low. Fourth gear pull though must be insane :headbang:

    My new TWIN TURBO Viper

    The interesting thing is that there are more powerfull Supras in the US than in Japan. A friend's 100% street Supra (all acessories such as AC, stereo, leather, power steering, ABS etc. intact, nothing removed) put down 124X RWHP on NOS and 117X RWHP on boost (~40 PSI) alone!!! A Viper Like...

    My new TWIN TURBO Viper

    This is where that old "No replacement for displacement" saying comes to play! 1000+ RWHP at only 14 PSI is AWESOME! Congrats! That thing must be FUN as heck to drive! Any plans on turning the boost higher?:)

    Heffner Performance Viper TT - Part II

    WOW! That is incredible! That's a stock engine right? AMAZING! Congrats. BTW I think we share a common friend. Didn't you sell a QS 6speed Supra to Ryan Woon? I recently bought this car from him: http://www.suprastore.com/19trdwi95hks.html But I have known him for a loooooong time. You should...

    AEM Results on Heffner Performance Viper TT

    F1 engines last ~300 miles (more with qualifying, etc.) but they are also between ~13K and 19K RPM's (Ferrari's revs to ~19,200 RPM's) the WHOLE 300 miles, that's a lot of stress. they are also only built as strong as they need to be to last for a full race. What I mean by that is that they...

    Are your transmissions holding up to 800+ rwhp?

    DANG! You ever take that beast to the track?If so what does it run?

    Funny Rice vs Hotrod comparison.

    I think this might be a west coast/east coast thing? Here in AZ well before ricers even knew what a high performance car was (17+ years ago) the domestic guys with fast cars called NOS "NAWZ" and not Nitrous or Nitrous oxide.

    Funny Rice vs Hotrod comparison.

    I think it's hillarious:) Of course it seems to be talking more about Hondas than 300ZX's or Supras for that matter based on numbers, etc.:)

    Just installed upgraded (mid 98+) fan on early 98 GTS....no diffrence?!

    Hey Russ, how have you been? Do you think the problem could be with timing being set too conservatively from the factory? As I'm sure you know the more retarded the timing the hotter a car runs. Wonder if that's the case? Travis, if the problem is the fan you may want to try running a Lincoln...

    Lexus SC300 sleeper

    They both have their place. I like Vipers because they are wild (and of course FAST). And I like cars like that SC300 for their sleeper qualities. Nobody is saying it's a better car than a Viper (that's subjective anyway), just a cool and very impressive car. BTW your car is IMPRESSIVE! 9's for...

    Lexus SC300 sleeper

    The swap on a GS300 or SC300 is very easy as they came from the factory with 2JZGE's (non turbo version of the 2JZGTE) so all the motor mounts line up, etc. PRVT JET, Supras like I own are just Toyotas, Vipers are just Dodges, Vettes are just Chevrolets, etc. All cool cars in my book as is...

    Someone gave this viper away!

    Ebay is soft for many cars. A friend of mine just picked up a mint 50K mile 1998 Viper GTS (Red) for $36,500! He was the only bidder on a no reserve auction. If I had known about it there would have probably been 2 bidders:)

    Anyone see Spike tv's top 50 cars??

    Re: Anyone see Spike tv\'s top 50 cars?? All about the number of owners of these cars making multiple votes from different computers and since there are more Vettes than Vipers..... Same thing happened in the "tuner" category, the Acura RSX won not the car that I would have voted for, the...
