From the look of it, the car doesn't seem to be running as of yet. It's their "future" project car. Hey while you are at SP, can you ask some of those guys there if they make any single (hell, even twin) turbo kit for my V300?

I know Japan has the HKS GT-30 and the Greddy T-78 single turbo kits, but I was just wondering what the SP boys think about my engine......Thanks!

Veilside Executive aero + dark color = YUMMY!

Guess the side skirts make it too complicated to lift eh?

Looks like a rest haven for turbos under that hood

I have heard that the car is running and already sold. The motor that they used came from the "supra7" project which is running about 600+ HP.

Ok. I gotta make a correction, SP enginnering has 2 GS that they're working on. The first one is already done(blue valve cover), thats the one that is already sold. The other one that they're working on is the one thats gonna have the "supra7" motor. YOU GUYS READY FOR THIS, PROJECTED HP IS 900!!!

Ummmmm...is that 6-speed MANUAL?! Or did they drop a 6-speed automatic in there? If it's manual, I'd be VERY interested to know how much that would cost!

A GS430 with a 6-speed manual and LSD would be...well...very close to a dream car!!!
