God help me, I WANT THIS CAR

[calimus@techography.net (calimus)]

Actually toyota built that car knowing that people would jump the power of
the engine.  Now if it came stock with twin turbo the tranny is difintly
good for about up to 900hp and about 750lbs of tourque.  Only reason I know
this is because there is a guy in my area thats running just that.  The guy
is running the stock tranny.  He dropped it out once to put in an auto with
a racing torque converter just to see how it would run on the track (this
guy has way too damn much money) and after the third run the tranny gave.
He put the 6 speed back in and has about 20 runs on the track and god only
knows how many on the street.  It's a real treat watching him completly
roast all the honda ricer-boys that think it's just a single turbo supra
(car is completly debaged and I think he does it just for that reason).

The funniest thing is, the guy is in his late 40's and just barely fits in
the car due to his BB-Q habbits.  Come to think of it, I haven't seen him in
a while, I guess it's time to go get some BB-q soon.
