I heard on the first run, the t/a side stepped from center lane to right lane. I guess he should put the 325's back on. The supra is normally at 800hp or so, but I heard he was having some controller issues that night. Looked like they had fun.

Eleventy billion dollars. haha. In reality, you'll be in the 8-9k range for a bought kit and fuel system. If you can do it all your self, in the 5-6k range. Another 1000 for the little things, e boost controller and such. Multiply that by the new engine and all the suspension/trans/clutch, your in the 20k range. Going fast costs. I don't like to think about how much I've spent. The whistle is worth it.

Oh yeah, that doesn't include any labor for install. I'd figure another 4k if you can't bolt on parts yourself. Don't forget tuning another 500-1000. Damn it keeps adding up. I should stop now before I get sick.

even though there's no supras or skylines really where I live it would still be cool to have a car set up like that T/A. Something that still probably( if set up correctly ) runs fast et's and still can whoop up on high dollar imports on the highway. What more could you want.

they are still imports in my book, yes they may be fast but who cares. Most cars pushing over 700hp are. Should I respect them, yeah I guess I should. They're just not my thing. Like most people who are only into american muscle, we despise of all cars like supras and what not. I know a worked supra would kick my *** on the highway, but that's alright , cause theres none around my area that I know of. Are they even that impressive from factory, all you ever see is wicked fast supras and skylines that are pushing way more than 20psi but never see a stock one with bolt ons go race a camaro or firebird. I'm not saying the fbody is gonna kick its ***, just havent seen any videos like this. I guess if you want your car to sound like a weed wacker or leaf blower,or sport bike, then yeah I guess the supra sounds awesome.
