I stole the car thats why I have a v6 and not a v8, couldnt find a gt at the mall last weekend with the keys in it No joke, I got the car real cheap with a blown motor and put a e-bay motor in it. Got the sc pretty cheap cause it had high miles on it. It's done had a trip to procharger for a rebuild and extended warranty.

I want to put a 4v in it one day but after doing research I will need a doner car, so for now I want to see what I can get out of the 3.8 witch to me are throw away motors, 400 at any junkyard, and they can make decent power with the right setup. Heads cam intake. I WILL get 400 hp out of it before it's over.

Added in what needed to be.


I'm willing to bet the next time he's out there, he'll be much improved.

They also respond surprisingly well to turbos.

Sounds like the time I ran a 8.8 @ 105mph in the Supra.

Work on the driver mod. Get your 60' time down to 1.6-7 and that will help a lot.

I have found that seat time is the best way to lower your times as long as you are realistic with your expectations. Practice makes perfect.

The quickest track around , is going to be motormile. Just because its newer, and more taken care of. Natural bridge may be a little misleading as well, as the track is 20 ft. shorter than the 8th mile. I would just go to whichever is closer to you. Not gonna make that much difference with this situation I doubt. Heads up 7.95 racing every third friday at the bridge though. Might be something you could get down with.

lawlzz ya i was kidding, but I would believe it is someone told me their Supra ran a time/speed similar to that. hahaha

Which is why the Supra is gone, only worthwhile from a 60+mph roll haha. Boring.
