Default SC300 at Import Face Off Rockingham Dragway VID

chat w/ the owner of this clean SC300 for a little bit. from what i can see and what he told me it's a 2jzgte swap w/ i believed a Turbonetics T72 @ 15 psi but don't really remember exactly and stock w58. it's street tuned so no whp #'s. looks like he let off early near the end. he's a member here also, i think he goes by something rx7 iirc.

He didn't let off at the end he blew a gear.. haha no I've heard some scary things about putting some power infront of a w58 but have never owned one myself.. hopefully until he can save for a v160

It looks like a clean SC. That Mustang was pretty quick.

it does look nice.. but I must admit, im comparison to that fast and noisy stang, that SC looked like he was just cruising the drag strip..

Man the owner of the car is gonna be pissed you posted a vid up of him running a 15 That is a beautiful car though, and I am sure it has a lot more in it. Maybe that was just a test pass

That's one slow turbo SC. He may want to rethink that street tune.

naw i didn't take my car, i just rode w/ my buddy's STI. if i had a dolly than i'll probably take my car that far haha. can't risk something breaking since i'm still running the W58 and having to pay for it to get towed all the way back home. still waiting on Zmax to do another test n tune on a dry day.
