Once you go black........

Cleaned up the Supra and one of the GN's today so I figured I'd snap some pics of the two black beauties.

Supra is getting a built 3.4 shortly. The GN in the pics is getting a full aluminum TA blocked beast. The GN on the street in back is getting twin 80's on the 388 that's in it. Gallardo is getting bigger turbos. I have the 87 GN in storage at the moment, and I'm working on planning a ridiculous auto Supra project. Nothing ever really stops. haha

I'm very excited to get that car into the type of condition I want. The guy who built it had over $66,000 in receipts WITHOUT the price of the car or any interior cage work. It's going to take me another 30K to get it where I want it, but when it is.....WOW!

Damn you've got 2 of the baddest 6 cylinders produced sitting on your driveway! I'm sooo jealous! If you need any storage space for your other cars let me know, I'll be glad to put one in my garage.

Woah...... Good LORD. That's gotta be a low tens car. I have to say that car is hot lookin'. I don't like asian cars, but that is one sweet ride. You're a lucky man. So which is faster, the supra or one of your buicks?

The only pass it ever made was 9.5. I'm putting a 3.4 in it, and I'll use a little nitrous to spool. Car should make 1200ish whp with that combo, where as it makes 1061rwhp now. The nitrous will make it spool almost instantly. It takes about 1300whp with no nitrous to get a 6 speed Supra into the 8's.

The GN in the pics will be getting an all aluminum on center shortly. Looking to make it a low 9 second street car, so both the Supra and GN should be in the same area. Very low 9's realistically.

The GN with the 388 is getting twin 80's, looking for around 1800-1900rwhp. I expect that car to run SOLIDLY in the 7's.

Beautiful cars. I've enjoyed watching your project progress, and have to say, I'm a little jealous.

Judging by your nieghbors vehicles, you're the guy in the neighborhood who can actually afford your house.
