WOW, I leave for a couple days and there are 30 posts!!!!! LOL You guys are awesome, I love and appreciate the kind words :-)

The car is an absolute blast to drive, is EXTREMELY managable to drive and cruise. On the street, at 28psi the 295 bfg drag radials are pretty darn sticky, however anything over 30psi forget it. You can see on the dyno graph I spun them at about 1k rwhp briefly. btw, they are CCW wheels (505a's) and they are 18x9's 18x10's (rear)

The best thing is that most people see the car and think its rather loud, like a lexus with an exhaust leak LOL. However most in my state know EXACTLY who I am, and know what my car is capable of, which in turn, nobody likes to pull up next to me anymore hahahahha.

I'm a believer in "less is more" well with looks anyways.....

I hope to hit the track in a couple weeks with some slicks to see if we can get this street driven Soarer into the 8's!!!

Thanks again to all of my "mates" here. I truly appreciate your support and compliments. You guys are what makes this community great.

watched the vid of this car doing the 9 sec pass many times, awesome with it popping and breathing flames when staged and ready for the off.

Best one is one i've seen with it taking on some yank tank which you see twist as it leaves the line but you can see the tank getting a spanking half way down the 1/4, looked like a Chevy Nova or similar.

Apologies if this has been posted already as i didn't look back to the begining of this thread

Awesome car dude!
You have plenty of followers of this car here in the UK also

I hope some dumbass doesn't buy it! I saw a video of a supra that had been very highly modded by a garage and had been used for drags, under 10 seconds. Think it was the streetfire website, had a clip of the car in pieces after a brutal accident in which whom they sold the car to!!!

Hey everyone,

I guess my for sale ad has been found :-) Despite me just finishing my project a business opportunity has come up and it's the best decision for my family. I've exhausted other avenues to try and keep the car, however I need the capital for this business. I've brought the price down to $40k us FIRM, in order to sell her quickly. If any of you know someone that may be interested in this unique monster please let me know. I'll give more info/update on my future shortly ;)
