Believe me when I say Sam has REALLY made this car a part of their marketing program to prove what they can do and what the platform is capable of.

I don't want to sound like a jerk but you my friend are talking out your brown hole... Those cars in themselves cost way more than the Z will even if I did the build twice. So you tell me... Spend $100k's for the lesser performance and a name OR spend less than $100k at list price and blow everything on God's green earth away?
I applaud your build and your defense, but I don't know how you're going to actually make 1000 RWHP usable. Sounds kind of like many Supra builds that have occurred in the past - cars that are more dyno queens than track performers. I believe it takes 1300-1400 WHP for a Supra to even break into the 8's.

If you do straight out admit you're building a dyno queen, then bravo. But if not, I'm curious as to what the purpose of the 1000+ WHP will be.
