okay I'm not gonna do it so don't start bashing me I'm a rotaryin through and through but has anybody heard about the supra7 and if so any numbers on it. I assumed it was really fast at first then I thought it was probaby too much torque to get any kind of traction with so little weight. does anybody know anything about it?

I know what I know from what i've read in the past about... All I could say is, why?? If you were to put LS1 or 2JZ, think about maybe just going out and buying Z06 or Supra.

I saw a pictures of one once in another forum. IIRC, the engine sat so high, the guy couldn't find a hood to fit and had to fab one that looked like it came from Billy-Bob's superstock Nova. Supposedly it was done as a show car, so no performance figures were mentioned, probably for a good reason. It would have handled like crap. And when he admitted how much money he had in it, I remember everyone laughing.

There was a guy here in OKC that did it. The car was on ok-speed.com, but I haven't heard about it in at least a year. Waste of a FD if you ask me. Buy a supra or corvette if you want a piston engine car.

I don't want one. I'm trying to prove to a friend that the 2jz fd is bad Idea but he is convinced that it would work perfectly and couldn't throw off the weight balance . I knew that it would be crap I just wanted sources to prove it or at least personal accounts.



OHH and that pic is freakin hilarious!
