Are the 6-speed trannies in Supra's that much better than our Tremec T-56? WIth 800 hp you would think he would upgrade the tranny to be able to hold... who knows.

I know my tranny is angry at me and I only make 430hp/400 to the wheels.

Is the headlight missing in the first pic. If so I wouldn't call that 110% street legal. Even if I had the money I wouldn't buy the car from that guy, just reading his opening staement pissed me off.

It sounds as though my throw out bearing is toast. My slave is probably not in great condition either.... and while I'm bashing the bastard tranny, it doesn't like to shift into 3 or 4 above 4500 or 5000 rpm.

Other than that, it's fine...just kidding.

It just needs a healthy rebuild.

It's a sharp looking car IMO, it may not be all that it is hyped up to be but it still looks as though alot of time and effort has went into the car. I'm not crazy about the color but the gf likes it lol.

looks like a scam to me, not to mention there are no real close ups of the engine, if you put that kinda money into your, wouldn't you have more than 1 pic of your 800+ hp engine, I dont trust any ebay auctions that are outside of the US...

"This isn't a "ordinary" car like a Ferrari, Porche or a Lamborghini"
because we all know how common these cars are, heck there goes two lamborghinis now, guess i was mistaken...

"You will easily destroy a Suzuki Hayabusa in one second"

lmao, I never said his statements were true. All I said was if it had these mods it would be a nice car and the color changed too. Oh well, ran across it and thought some of the other ppl here might want to see it. Worth a laugh for the color anyway.

about the color, nothing is more satisfying, and immasculating, than putting the beat down on someone, when you are in a "girly" colored car.
