Bump! PM me your best offers!

Enjoy the increased turbo noise AND add some real bling!!! Was on the car for a summer of about 3000 miles. It’s basically brand new condition. Original box, stickers included. Reason for sale: Sold car, returned to stock Price: $900, OBO PayPal goods and services, buyer pays shipping or I...

Self preservation is a very strong impulse! No argument that the MKV in stock trim is plenty of power to get yourself hurt, never mind with mods. On normal roads I don’t think you can use much more than five hundred hp without some pucker-factor. While I wanted more oomph for spirited driving...

The contradictions don’t stop there, it also has functional aero which hampers 60-130 pulls. ;) I drove both the standard and 1LE, the DSSV dampers are firm but not crashy so they are on the limit of my “GT” standard. Certainly no Mercedes or Dodge (ancient Mercedes chassis lol) I do miss my...

Canceled my order. Drove home a ‘22 ZLE with 3500 miles, kong ported factory blower(I think standard port job), upper and lower pulley, 2’’ longtube, rotofab intake and 103mm throttle body. 93oct put down 660whp, felt meh but now I have a platform that’ll handle big power so let’s see what I get...

Thank you all for the support and feedback, the Supra is on its way with a new family! I did enjoy all the, "is that a Supra?" nonsense, the great handling and reliability packaged into a car for the cost. I ordered a ZL1, it'll be six months for delivery, it may or may not be all the things...

A major reason I liked the 1LE, factory equipped to handle (relatively)big power. My car ownership experience is limited to STI/M5/Supra, but have driven a few high horsepower cars (1000-1500) and it’s not until someone wants to 1/4 mile or track their car that is get ruined for street purpose...

Thanks for the thoughtful response. The “family road-trips” are with my wife and I and the idea of not meeting my goals 90% of the time makes we question having them in the first place. As @razorlab said this is very much an emotional challenge, nobody needs a recreational vehicle. This isn’t...

Tesla Plaid and Hellcat are halfway there but have some weaknesses. I figured the Supra with investment could get there but physics says no. I’m only asking for one attribute of a supercar, the acceleration. What goes into supercars is so much more than speed, materials are a huge portion of...

Trolling? Getting the last word in? I won’t be the one with the slow car bro, chill.

Haha no doubt! No chance they let me into one of those things, I don’t have the aptitude!

Appreciate the guidance. I will definitely take the manual to increase engagement with the car. That 10spd is amazing in auto but every review I’ve watched show the paddles being extremely slow especially on downshift, if only it had a ZF in it! ;)

Yes, I want bike-“like” for as cheap as possible in a modern (safe) car. The only dismissing I do of folks who have commented on building is the single biggest constraint I give, and everyone’s dismissal of it…Eblends and meth. Not a single “builder” here has offered a high HP solution on 93oct...

Thank you, I was hoping I could build something I couldn’t afford outright. Super car dollars are a long ways off! Fast, Reliable, Cheap, pick two rule always applies. This thread started off messy since I didn’t have a clear problem statement. I’m not trolling, I admitted at the start my...

You’re half right, I don’t believe the Supra will make me happy. It’s possible nothing will in my constraints. For the other half, you don’t know me and calling me a squid doesn’t make me wrong. Your feelings hurt? I’m happy to share the bikes with you on a track day if you can demonstrate the...

No doubt bringing the charge temp down with meth is “safer” power, until your tank is empty or a solenoid fails or your on a 3000 mile road trip. Hate to break it to you, 600whp in 3600lbs (6lbs per hp) is slow. After you become accustomed to 220whp in 450lbs (2lbs per hp) almost everything is...

I want both, high revs with a linear powerband, superchargers are just like adding displacement. (Except prochargers) Big turbos give a huge thrill once they are on boil, no doubt! The LT4 spins to 8k on a head package. This thread started some connections for me, I’m in the process of asking...

Photos for some giggles, I destroyed the SMG III trans and rebuilt it and did the adaptions myself, not fun!

Those 1200hp builds still have headroom, displacement is no joke. Those same builds with E85 and meth make 1500hp. I drive 7500ish highway miles every summer so not a huge duty cycle other than the 60-130 pulls but I do a lot of them. I haven’t given the S68 enough attention, I owned a E60 M5...
