As always, another truly impressive car SW. I'm just wondering when you're going to do an 800+ RWHP twin turbo C5.

BTW, I don't know if you trust anyone enough to drive one of your cars at the track. But I speak for everyone here when I say that we would love to see a video of the Z07 and the Supra running heads up. With the Z07 et, and the Supra's trap speed, it would all come down to the driver.
Anyone else out there want to see this?

SW,

A little off the topic, but I am currently re-building a '98 Viper GTS and along with Mike Adams in Canada are trying to get four people together for HRE to build some 20" wheels for the Viper (currently only 19's are made).

The wheels would be sold at cost. Let me know if you would be interested.

Anthony

SW's car, not in the Z07, but in the Supra. Gotta wonder, the head has never been off the car.
No... I don't believe it... :rolleyes: :D

Way to drive SW.

Cemo, what's up bud! It is true, SW's supra is indeed on stock motor. He is in fact running his supra on STOCK motor... That is what makes 150 mph even that much more unbelievable!
Anyhow, i know we've talked several times SW but once again, way to carry yourself with class. You have the fastest street C5 in the country and pretty much the fastest street supra in the country (on stock motor let alone!)... You are one of the few that helps salvage the bad reputation the supra owners have due to the AZ crew...

Hey Peter,

You're right...and I believe he has done what he's done(150 mph) with that Supra. I was just joking Since he's always setting new records I thought I'd make it look like I wasn't suprised.... which I'm not. He's the MAN!...in Austin anyway.

You're the MAN down here in H-Town. I'd really like to get a ride in your beast sometime if that's cool. I can only imagine what it must feel like since your latest addition.

Thanks

DITTO THAT! SW is a class act & hopefully, by his example, the Vette/Supra riff will dissipate.

SW... Way to go!!!!! Everyone on this Forum would love to have your garage. :D
