Lamborghini LP640 vs. 1200hp Supra

**disclaimer** Do NOT try this at home!



It's pretty impressive seeing a 15 year old inline 6 pull BUSLENGTHS on an italian supercar... Those crazy europeans.

When the 2JZ fails to please - 2UZ V8 Twin Turbo Swap

Ditching the legendary 2JZ-GTE on a fourth gen supra is tantamount to sacrilege. Might as well repaint a brand new Ferrari or replace Chuck Norris on Walker Texas Ranger. User Cowboy Bebop on SupraForums decided that the 3.0 liter straight six wasn't going to cut it. Sourcing a 4.7L 2UZ V8 from what appears to be a Tundra, our would-be apostate is slapping on twin hairdryers and shoehorning it into a 97 MKIV supra. Click on the link for more pics of his build.

When Carbon Fiber Goes Too Far

Don't get us wrong - we're big fans of anything that smacks of "light weight" and "space age". Carbon fiber has been used on everything from Formula 1 cars to the Space Shuttle. User Olmytsi on Supraforums shares pictures of what appears to be a.. wait for it..abFlug, widebody Supra.. covered entirely in carbon fiber.

With gaps wide enough to stick a deck of cards between in some places, the car doesn't look quite on the money. Theres also speculation from a few users that the effect may be achieved with CF applique - a giant CF sticker for you non reading types.

Shrinkage! There was Shrinkage!

Leave it to Bimmer owners to rack up several pages of commentary commiserating about pulling up to, and subsequently getting walked on by a Toyota Camry. Yes, you read that correctly.

A veritable institution of moving families around since 1980, the name Camry has been synonymous with forty-something asian drivers, grandmothers, and sleeping pills. In 2007, Toyota quietly snuck in a 3.5 liter 268hp V6 under the bonnet so that even the most downtrodden wage slave can know the joys of administering an occasional Bavarian smackdown.

If you by chance read one of my first posts, i was upset about not being able to pull away faster from a Camry. I had a second chance today to redeem myself against another one on the same road. Was a beautiful black car and looked great. On to the story...

So I see the car ahead of me traveling at a pretty good speed. I slowly catch up to him and he moves over to let me by but is able to get ahead of me again after a traffic light stop due to traffic being tied up a little. The road goes down to a single lane and then back into a double where I know a lotof police sit so I just follow waiting for the hill to come up where I know I can open the car up without fear. At the bottom of the hill, it goes from a single to a double lane and we both go into the passing lane with me right behind him. I was able to stay with him at the lower speed. Then a truck moves over into passing lane holding us up for a little but I see the turn signal go on for him to move back over and I get ready. Now I just installed the Dinan Stage 4 software with the exhaust, intake, TB, and MAS so I was hoping for the best.

HAHA My best wasnt near good enough...when the road cleared, I floored it and watched that Camry run right away from me. I mean it wasnt even close. Then by the time I picked up speed, I was moving and went by him feeling like even more of an a%$ because then I felt like I did a fly-by. So now my ego is crushed and once again am disgusted with the power. I would like to think I could have taken him up top but I will never know nor can I guess. But I gave it my best and it is what it is. I dont have to like it though.

Me-0...Camrys-2

I don't know about you, but if I just droved several grand on a bevy of Dinan goodness on my v8 sports sedan and got my ass handed to me by a Camry, I'd be changing my nickname from Monsstr to Georgie-boy.

Since when was the SW20 considered Old Skool?

I wax nostalgic as I recall the perks of yesteryear. $2 a gallon petrol. $0.29 cent hamburgers at Mc Donalds. Real sports cars from Toyota.

Timberland at JDM-clean-mecca JTuned posts some snaps of his 1991 MR-2 Turbo (from Canada of all places - heh). It's inconceivable that something built 16 years ago is still on the road, much less in this state of uber cleanliness.

StableSpotting: Poor Man's Stable

StableSpotting is a segment dedicated to showing you life styles of the rich and infamous, the garages of those with copious amounts of automotive street cred, or the collections of those who have nothing better to do than show off (see previous post re: putting on your hater faces).



Before we incite class-consciousness induced fits of rage by showing you pictures of auto-harems belonging to oil drenched Saudi princes, let's start off slow. Member onelove at premier all-things-porsche destination 6speedonline posts pictures of what can be considered at the low end of the spectrum compared to the company he keeps. An M-coupe with TE-37 Time Attacks and a pair of single turbo JZA80 Supras? While he probably has the CGT or F430 owner thinking "awww, how cute", we'd prefer his Toyotas to a half million dollar status symbol anyday.
