Man words can't explain how Sick Flash Gordan's TT GS400 is ! I mean the power is right there no need to build boost, with the 400 And when its at idle you could n't tell that it was force induction . I'm jealous but in a good way I took a couple of pics but I will ask him before I post them.

What's up, Mike! Was this on Sat???? I drove up to SRT on Sat to hang out. but no one was there, so I went down 210 and had to put the solo smackdown on:
3 riced out civics
a riced out neon
a new SS monte carlo
a toyota supra (don't know if it was TT)
a convertible Corvette
a Firebird
2 old muscle cars (one had a SS on it)
2 TLs
older ZX6 motorcycle
a single Turbo'ed Mustang (good runs), and a GT mustang with huge aftermarket hood (don't know what he had under his hood)
at a cost of 1 gas fillup for the day! lol

Yeah, because of the warmer temps (55 degrees), my car was really running stronger than when it was 30 degrees outside. Oh I forgot one, or should I say a group! lol While coming back from Newburg, MD near Maryland International Raceway (MIR Budds Cheek), I was kinda surronded by a group of Harleys at the light. Wasn't really a race,but it was kinda cool being in the left lane with like 25 loud Harleys taking off with me at the light, then being cool and giving the at the next light! All and all it was a good weekend!

bluelex - Let me know when the date is definite! I am in need of a vacation, and I'll make the trip down!

lexciting

bluelex and i and alwilliams and johnee78 reggiek etc etc are the ones putting together these shows/meets like the one we did on dec 7 at the lexus dealer

if you are serious , i propose a nice event between lexciting (twin turbo gs400) and freelance (new and improved turboed IS300) and scoupra (baddest 2jzgte twin turbo sc300 i have ever seen) and one entry from the almighty supra division.

seeing the 4 of you make a run at the same time with the diff cars would be PRICELESS i repeat PRICELESS

who here in south florida would agree to this being something worthy of putting in the history books

I know Freelance's IS will hand my butt to me, but I'll still run!! lol The others (don't know the specs) probably will have a bigger power to weight ratio but its all in fun PLUS I love FL's LONG FLAT STRAIGHT-AWAY Highways so it would be a blast!!!!! Hopefully after my final tuning at SRT I will be at 14psi@500rwhp (I am at a rich 9.5psi now), and I can make a respectable showing for the ole GS class. I'll troll the meet section here on CL and hopefully if I don't have any business tasks conflicting with your meet date, I'll be there reppin' MD!
