as much fun as that looks, I am about 30 times over budget to qualify for that race.

You'd be surprised. Many gen II supras run. The $500 thing has no real meaning in the real world. You just have to prove that you could buy a busted up barely running rusted out version of your car somewhere in North America for $500.

Anyway best of luck with your build. If you really want to race, come check out chump.

Here is a vid of a whipeout in front of my car at Daytona (me Driving):

Should have tossed the 7mgte in the dumpster. Throw in a 5.3 lsx, stall, th400, big shot of nitrous, and some decent tires. Mad fast for a reasonable price.

Ya, but then it wouldn't be a real supra. I'm a big fan of the 80's models and sporting any real horse power over 600 on the 7mgte is rare because everyone goes for the 1j or 2j because that's easier and parts are more accessible. I guess I just want to be special haha.

Sell it and buy a hayabusa...so much fun. $14k for a machine that will absolutely rape anything short of super cars. 100+ mph in first gear...with 5 more to play with.

Sold it after i maxed it out twice at 190mph and before I died =/

Not a fan of bikes. Cant drive them in the rain, way more dangerous, not as comfortable. The supra you can haul ass in style and in comfort.

Most people don't fuck with the 7mgte because they have a tendency to blow head gaskets due to a manufacturing flaw iirc. Although im sure that if you replace all the internals, mill the head and block nice and even and use a good head gasket that would sort out a lot of those issues. What exactly are your goals? 10 second quarter with a 150 trap? Lol.
