SCWells- The supra comes with either the 6-speed manual, or 4 speed auto. What I think they did is drop in a Supra engine and Transmission (6-speed manual) into the gs. I'm not sure if its possible to strap a supra 6-speed tranny onto a GS.......

That car is very clean in person. My friend works there and I've been there a couple times. I believe they are asking $45K for it. The car is repainted same as the M3 color (don't know exactly what it's called).


As for the other GS project, I forgot the exact asking price was, I know it's over $50K, I think the owner put it over $80K into it.

edit: BTW: It is a 6speed manual transmission.

Ya I called there a few days ago because I heard about them on supra forums. The guy is selling his 6-speed 650hp SC too for $40,000. I dunno what he wants for that GS.

I asked about my car and $17,500 would get me a 2jz-gte at about 500hp and a 6 speed manual transmission
