Default clint's old car...

Yes, it Clint's old car. I sold it to him 2 years ago and It has been sitting at my shop undercover for the last year. Clint and I made a deal and I started with basically a rolling chassis. Chris@Performance Motorsports, built the car. I did alot of cleaning and detailing from the entire undercarraige to wetsanding the paint. The only parts that were on the car were the TRD limited slip, TRD sway bars and the mufflers. Chris fabricated the tips to look the way they do now, along with the entire new drivetrain.

I'm impressed that the SC is part of an exotic collection.

I have always like the SC's. I bought my wife a new SC400 when they first came out in '92. I still think the body style looks good today. I liked having the fast Supras and I know they are faster but my wife doesn't care for them and they make me feel like I'm a part of the Fast& Furious crowd. It's just fun to have a nice luxury car that's a sleeper. I know I'm going to surprise a few twin turbo porsches and some CL 55's on the street...

i totally agree with everything you said man! Can you imagine the look on a CL driver when you blow by him?

Cant wait to see the finished product and specs!! its great to someone with the financial means be a REAL car enthusiast, not a snob!! (ie ONLY drives high end exotics, etc etc) I real car guy can appreciate any well executed car, regardless of cost! You seem to posses that attitude!

I've had alot of different cars and I can always tell right away if I'm going to like it. I see myself keeping this car a while, but Clint has first chance at getting back...

For the build up of this car, the credit goes to Chris@Performance Motorsports, he is the guy that built my 9 sec Supra as well as many high hp Supras. Chris works on everything I own, including helping me do a frame off restoration on my '73 Trans Am. Also I would like to thank Kean from Boost Logic for his help in providing and selecting the right parts. I'm lucky to have these guys in the building behind my office. If you want the best turbo, fuel system, exhaust systems and installation, call these guys..

There will be more suprises comming out of their shop soon as my next project will be begining soon..
