I think the rears are drag tires, which tend to be....big.

Drag tires maybe? You should see what happens to tires on launches.

See the little rippling on the rear tires? They let out a little bit of air during drag racing and if you tried that on a low profile tire you'd be screwed.

Beautiful supra. That engine looks so scary.

Do you think this supra is close to the Boost Logic Supra? cause that supra is a beast.

I bet you a lot of money that thing is putting down more than 800 hp with a turbo that large and the tires as slick as they look. 2JZGTE is a true beast from the East

JAW DROP....
Ladies and Gentlemen, please restrain your children and pets because this thing must suck up babies and small animals off the side of the road.
Probably one of my favorite colors of all time!
