Isn't the Vertex D1 Soarer doing 10.9s with the 1JZ-GTE?

Btw, what is the quickest / fastest street SC so far?

SW
Hopefully we'll find out this summer


Anthracite SC: Ethan was shooting for 8's buddy not 10's. But guess his dreams/priorities took a turn

Default Whoops..stand corrected

Whoops..I was wrong...correction..it was for 8s.

But did he make 8s? I'm assuming he was in the 9s already if he was shooting for 8s.

So I guess to estimate SW...The fastest SC was in the 9s?

No, no SC platform has made 9's "yet" at least here in the US to my knowledge (streetable)

Absolutely Beautiful SC. Paint, Wheels, everything is perfect.

Just wondering, out of all the cars you owned what's the one you like/liked the best?

Also could you give me the link to your fototime album? I had it before but lost it like a couple days ago

Thanks JimmyG

His(ebanks) car kept breaking from what I read......someone correct me if I'm wrong

SC300Turbo(Jeff) not sure if he sold the car yet..but years back I think he was in the 12s..
I don't know of any other turbo SCs putting up 12's or higher...


I think other cars might put out more hp..but again..if it breaks...it doesn't count.
I thought his final dyno was 981hp????

Ethan was running an SP88 (88mm), not a T88 (70mm I belive?) Pretty big difference! Just wanted to clarify that.

Thanks Jimmy, I really don't have a favorite. Each car is great for it's own reason. I guess if I was to have one car, it would probably be a modified ZO6. I really like road racing and the ZO6 is a great car. I put over 3500 track miles on my Vette and could still drive it daily. However, I really do love driving the SC, it's fun to drive, comfortable and a big time sleeper car. With the boost controler off, remember I'm still breaking it in, I have already spanked a new blown Cobra convertable and a 996TT in the last two days!! When I'm in the Viper, people expect it to be fast and because it does sound radical, they don't want to run, they don't expect a Lexus to be fast, that's whats fun..

Lol....The S in SW stands for Sriyantha. Saad is one of the evil Supra owners from AZ and one of SW's bitter rivals.
