Also, your Supra is glorious...one of the classic 90's cars I must have in my collection before I turn 40.
I bought it specifically for road racing it lapped the "ring" in 7:29 not to shabby . I am not a drag racer so the only track it will see is the curvy kind .

Thanks for the comments on the supra wish I would have kept it sometimes it was a fun car .

Better make sure that oil cooler recall has been done before buying one.

The 8000 plus redline is music, but it doesn't have enough grunt down low for me. It has a way harsher ride on the street but most likely great at the track.It is a beautiful looking and sounding car but I also will never pay over list and they are still marking them up around here in Ga.

Good luck if you decide to pull the trigger.

Nice!

Wonder if you'll be cursed like me though!

Still miss my single turbo'd Supra!

Had a couple cheap TT's since, but hadn't been loved liked mine, dodgy wiring, poor maintenance, bad paint.....

Still toy with chopping in my ISF for another one.

If I do hold on to my ISF, rest assured I'll be building my own Supra after I get done with the last few bits still to do!

Looked lovely. Mine was also black, but not a widebody like yours.

Best of luck with the new track toy though!

All the best,


Pete

Bro !!! CONGRATULATUONS. The old ZL1s would walk my *** on the straights. I have been so tempted by the new zl1 or gt350. After 22 track days I feel like my driving skill is getting a bit beyond the limit of the ISF. I'm ready to step up to a platform with more power , brakes, and more focused for thentrack

Damn Larry - that's a sweet ride! We really need to hit RA or AMP soon...big congrats, I know you were looking hard at another 'Vette.

BTW, Larry has been a foundational block in the ATL Supra scene for years. His Supra was one of the most radical, and driven by a guy with more driving talent in his pinky than I've ever possessed.

Thanks, yes the ISF is very capable performer and as good as it is

It sure is a lot more fun with 250 HP more under foot!!!

Nice pick up, I really like the Sport Car offerings from GM and other American car manufacturers, don't expect them to get much respect on these forums but good bang for buck options available these days.

Thanks Lance , we definitely need to hit the track !!! I was looking at the vette but did some research and while the ZL1 is not quite as fast as the ZO6 on track after testing both it just felt better to me . I think largely because it was wider and less constrictive than the vette.

Gonna be heading up with Phil to Chris Andersons shop Saturday he's getting his Supra tuned if you want to hang out.
