UGR - Kevin, I surely am looking forward to seeing the yellow and red car in action in TX!

CHAD - can you post your 6-speed slip so we can compare??? I can't wait to see how your beast runs in TX!

Gary - 1400 rwhp reliable everyday? Well, no, probably not. But that is the beauty of turbo cars, turn the boost down and run 800 rwhp everyday, that is VERY reliable for everyday driving in the Supra.

Orlando - that's b/c your car wasn't put together right. In all seriousness, I've had 8 Supras and have NEVER had the problems you describe. I've been all the way to 1132 rwhp and have never had issues with blown motors, vacuum lines, etc... Also, fuel pump and wg/bc issues are all turbo related issues, NOT Supra specific issues. Jesus will be at TX2K6, you all can line them up again at one of the quickest/fastest tracks in the U.S. :thumb:

Josh - it's a 4 day event:

Thursday - road racing at MSR Houston
Friday - dyno day at RSI
Saturday - cruise and show n' shine
Sunday - drag racing at SAR

Thanks all!

Yea Peter, so many people go through motors on Supra's.. It's not just me and it's well known that many in the Supra community keep things quiet when motors let go. Nero at Titan would always call to buy all of my old blown 2JZGTE shortblocks I had at the shop as he was going through them and his shop really does know what they are doing. Nearly everyone I know that has a Supra has blown a motor. Chris Ross aka Titanium hasn't been able to enjoy his Supra, he's flown Justin in countless times to help get his car to run right, another customer of Justin's.. Gene D has not been able to enjoy his car after investing thousands. If you haven't had headaches you're not the majority. Its nice to enjoy a fast car without worrying about things breaking for once. I can list off about 20+ people that I know whom have all blown their motors, a few were trying to get more power from pump gas and methanol.
