As much as I hate to say it, as I'm a bit of a purist when it comes to brand loyalty between motor and car, that was freakin' sweet!

holy hell. Is that engine normally a transverse mounted in the car it's made for? I would like to see the turbo(s) they got under the hood of that thing too.

I believe that's a Supra motor, and Supras are rear wheel drive. :)

Ahh. Well I'm sure it still took some extensive customization. I'm normally against puppies motors but honestly I think its just cause I hate their FWD applications. In this scenario, I say WIN!

I don't see what all the hate is about. It's a pretty neat engine, making a ton of power for it's size.

Kinda reminds me of the opposite which showed up on cragslist a couple years ago... that was a Mazda rx-7 with a 5.0 in it

Looks like he light-footed it a tad when he started for the wall.

and it looks like 1/8th mile.. i'd like to see that car run at englishtown with a fully prepped track.. kind of reminds me of the mustang in tokyo drift

That would be the worst 1/8 mile pass for a 1000hp car.lol If that wad the 1/8 he would run a high 14. The mph must be messed up. He's got a shoot so it must go 150mph. I really miss going to the track.

yeah, but the MPH vs ET makes sense that it's 1/8th mile, because he lifted.. if it was 1/4 mile, than he would of ended up around a 14, unless he got back into it
