Smokin, to be fair, Marko's Supra is a true street car and he puts a lot of miles on it. You can't compare the OH Boys' Formula it's a total race car. Heck my car is more racy than Marko's (but a lot slower).

But man oh man, 59psi, that explains why you have the intake ducting all bolted together Marko. Any good recent pics of the car, or race vids?

Yeah I have seen Marko's car. His car is a complete street car with A/C, and all the accessories still intact. Most (if not all) of the cars on this site that are even close to his are full blown race cars...

This is one awesome car to see. My goals in the long run close to the same

I don't know how much more of a street car it can be. Full factory options, 3600 lb race weight with lightweight wheels. I run consistant mid 8's at the 1100-1200 RWHP level. I tried making a few passes at the 1350 rwhp level and could not make a complete pass.

This is what everyone that drives there car on the street should have IMO

It ran 5.36@141 in the 1/8th mile with a 1.49 60' and coasted to an 8.52@114. I do not own a trailer, so if that's any indication of what a streetcar it is.

That just awesome

Either way, I love all fast cars, especially the ones that pull off trailers to race me and then lose!!!

I totally agree...any car that has the power and the times to back up your ****...IS THE ****
You have a awesome car and even so the numbers to back it up and that in itself tells the story...I know there are plenty of Supra's around that don't run for **** but there are some that do and my friend you have 1

I think it would sell very well... you have the experience and exposure to make a good name for yourself with the LS1 crowd.

I myself have decided on the SC route.. but who knows what the future will hold for me. I may go turbo down the road.
