2JZ-GTE - nuff said. They can make 1000 WHP on a stock block and crank. And judging by how much work went into the REST of the car, I'd assume he'd probably doing at least 600-700 WHP, minimum. I think it was dyno-ed recently, so I'll try to dig up the sheets lol.

Why would you do such a thing, and somehow get no press out of it? Did they never send pics/info to mags to get a shoot done, or have I just not seen a copy...?

Dude, it's a car that has mad horsepower.

Sooooo many out there that do, no story there.

Although it is a beemer with a Supra engine doesn't mean much these days. People are steady putting engines in cars that produce crazy HP and even TQ. No big deal in my book.

I beg to differ on that one... Every where I look, it seems someone took an RB-26 and put it in a Geo Tracker or some ****, and it gets front page pics with some other dumb slut draped all over it. I'm beginning to think that engine has it's own cult-like following lol.

Don't get me wrong that is an accomplishment, and it's a cool car. I just see cars like this too often and to me they have lost the shock factor.

I agree. Hell, I'd rather like to see it in reverse... Take a Geo Tracker engine, drop a turbo thats the same size of the engine, and get it to make double digits of HP. THAT would be impressive...
