Fanman-
lol - I used to own several different RX-7's...what a fun and light car, however not up to part to todays standards...still love the car though..

AUDIHenry-
Yes fully streetable with license plates (well registered and insured, I don't know if the plates are actually going to make it on the car). My theory of supercars also applies to this one....As I said before, i want a final product that my grandmother can drive to the store, and I can pull 230MPH+ in the flying mile with on the weekends (the F1 part applied to the Porsche).

LUIS95993-
Thanks man.....like I said before, its in my signature...

vincentds-
You ought to know mad man....I still want your Twin GT40 TTViper...

iLLM3-
I dont know if it is a trait.....more like an ADDICTION....I dont drink, I dont do drugs, my vise in life are my cars...

Porscheboy16-
I have owned two Vipers, one had a Venom 650 package, the other one had wings.....They are a little too 'flashy' (I know- who am I to talk about flashy cars)....what i am trying to convey is that they dont make for a 'deep sleeper'. Then again, I do have my eye out on one particular convertiable (I hope I dont have to pull teeth to get a ride in that one?- no pun intended vincent ) .

Porscheboy16-
There are many reasons why a Supra. One is that the starting platform is phenominal...frame, suspension, engine....very over-engineered...and to mention that the previous owner pulled my Lambo silly on the freeway .

houston T-
That was Silvinos old car from San Jose. The new owner changed turbos and yes he was running race gas (If you zoom in on the Video, you can see the white exhaust tip)...The other car was Nicks from Newtech Performance...a 9second street Camaro..a deep sleeper...he is now going to a 422cu twin turbo setup...
Are thouse 20inch Rims on your Viper??? Great Color combo...I am located in Las Vegas and Northern California, depending on weather etc..I think it would be a fun run against the Supra, once it is finished....I accept! I will be in San Antonio this summer for about a week....maybe we can set something up??

 

Houston T:
I am stunned!
let's see pics of that engine compartment and exterior car photos.

thanks,
MK

 

houstonT-
Very very nice....and dont feel like you are 'hi-jacking' this thread...we are all car guys and love this stuff....please post some pictures and congrats on the power curve!

Phoenix-
The legend himself- Mr. Kenny Duttweiler...builder of all the record setting Titan motors as well as the fastest buick GN's in the world....Please no phone calls because he is a busy man and this is a 'one-off' Supra project for him (not to mention his confidentiality on my setup)...Thanks to Chris Chow(dog) this project is where it is today....he is primarily responsiable for many of the decisions that where made on this car...and he is a 6speeder! McKenzie did the head work and the head flows 28CFM more than the Titan motorsports race head.....Great Job Todd... he also did the work on the EVO8 head, Protomotive 996tt as well as Craigs heads...his current project is my big block twin 47-88 69 Camaro....and yes Kenny is doing the motor for her as well...

 

Thank you.

Best of luck with the rest of the project.

Cheers!

 

I have a stupid question. How does one "retire" a car. Does it mean you will no longer take it to the track but still drive it?

 

No one's asking. But I think I will stand out on a limb here and ask:
How the f$%k are you going to stop/brake in time before flying off the road?!

Insanity on wheels. I love it, good luck and keep us posted!

 

VR - sounds great bud, PM me when the time draws near and I will give you my phone number, we can hook up when you come to SA this summer! I look forward to meeting you... Dutt builds a BADASS motor, i'm looking forward to seeing your results!!!!!

Pics - i'll post some in the next week...the car is at RSI, the car broke a pinion on it's first hard launch at the track at TX2K6, so that is in the process of getting replaced. I am also doing some polishing right now (turbo comp. housings, etc...). The wheels on the car are different than my sig, I know have 6-spoke I-Forged wheels, fully chromed on a graphite car, looks badass!

Thanks all,
Peter <---- secretly REALLY REALLY wants a 996TT

 

Congrats on the awesome Supra Setup!

With that being said, everyone who wants testosterone on wheels should get a MKIV Supra!

Peter, hey didn't know you were on here when did you join? Glad to see you on here!

 

The same brakes that I have the 996tt (Brembo 8 piston titanium GTR's) are going on the Supra along wth a couple of chutes!

houstonT-
I had to go to 300M vascojet material on the Porsche before it stoped breaking the shafts...the material works very well....the evo8 and the Supra are also 300M vascojet cars...I look forward to some pictures of your ICBM as well as meeting you this summer...

LUIS95993-
I 'retire' a car when I am done racing around in it...and start posting all my info on the car such as et, dyno etc etc... usually at this point i am on another project and that car gets parked....since everyone knows about it and it is usually hard to get 'deep sleeper' race...

 

Got it. What cars have you retired so far? Do you have a Grand National on that list?

 

VRAlexander,

If possible please give us a list of the beasts in your stable. Judging by your 996TT and the MKIV, it must be an amazing collection.

Thank you.

 

Very nice supra! can't wait to see it on the streets.

As far as the supra vs 996 video, I can tell you that the supra had a 67mm turbo so in all honestly that wasn't a fair match for the supra, I wish you lived down here and I would give you a run on my supra

Take care,

Jim

 

He posted a large portion of his stable in the "How fast do you drive your 996TT" thread.

It included, but not limited to, a modded F40, a CGT w/ nitrous, the 996TT, a z06, the Supra, and a few others.

 

VRAlexander, houstonT thanks for sharing! Great cars, would love to see both.

BTW Alex, why the secrecy? Are there high stakes other than pride in the racing you do?

 

AJ996TT,
my answer to your question to Alex would be: "Obviously"
94 Silver, no disrespect but if you have only run a 11.1 in your
Supra then Alex would not even consider running his 996TT against your
car, I wouldnt think. Those Supras are amazing cars, however
and you are fortunate to own a fast one.
