I have Been Around Some Sick Cars..But lastnight I was TRULY Humbled! Pics!
You will enjoy and appreciate this!!! I have been around incredible cars all my life from several Porsche collections, Lamborghinis, my friend's dad owns the largest private BMW collection in the US etc etc, this list goes on.......
But this car truly made me actually feel nauseous, it was so overwhelming. My friend Jeff called and said his Lexus SC300 Turbo project is almost finished, and I thought I would run down and check it out - I was blown away. I had heard it was impressive, but head no idea what was in store for me.... This car is going to put down 1200-1300whp when done. The attention to detail, the quality of the parts used and $$$ invested is blushing! Words are failing me actually...I was humbled! It started off as an Auto NA clean 1995 Lexus SC300.... Then got converted to a TwinTurbo Supra powered and a fun street car that put down 400whp... The Jeff went all the way and decided no more messing.... The car is now running: 1) A fully built 3.4L Stroker with forged Pistons and Rods (Carillo), ARP top to bottom 2) The Turbo I forget the specs but its the largest turbo I have ever seen on a car! 3) The Downpipe is 5" (!!) 4) The Exhaust is a full 5" 5) Intercooler outlet and inlet is 4" 6) CNC ported Head. 1mm oversized valves, 280degree cams with 9.5mm lift 7) Full Race tubular manifold 8) MoTec Dash!! 9) MoTec M48 Standalone 10) Custom intake manifold with an AccuFab Throttle Body 11) 6x1600cc RC Injectors 12) 2xBoch Motorsport Race Fuel Pumps 13) 50shot of NOS 14) Full cage and parachute 15) 2speed PowerGlide Tranny 16) Wiggens clamps for EVERYTHING! The list goes on and on..custom fabrication everyhwere you look....I will not even get into the chassis and detail to the suspension and brakes and rear end..I will let the pictures do the talking... The car will be featured in NOPI this Spring (and possibly around the country). How quick it will do in the 1\4 is but a mere guess at this point...

Hmm, looks well done, but looks and sounds like it's pretty much purely a 1/4 mile car. What sort of gearing is he running with such a huge turbo on a relatively small engine with a 2 speed tranny? I guess he'll be using a pretty high stall torque conv to get the rpms high enough to get boost for launch.
I don't think I'd have gone that route. I dunno, sounds well done, but not my thing.
