thats it? For $15,000 I can buy a new refrigerator, washer and dryer, home entertainment system...o wait...we are talking about cars.

that is some insane horsie...but what do you expect when your dropping an additional 32% of the car's value into the ENGINE only (assuming car costs $70,000)

think of how much faster his car COULD be if he puts in another $22,000 new transmission, carbon-fiber body? <--is that even possibly?

That setup sounds awesome. IMO 500 extra horsepower would be worth 15.000. that is a lot of money, but I believe thats Canadian, so It would only be about 12000 U.S...

Thats some insane power?!?!! IF if runs it and hooks up, that's at least a 10 sec car...........maybe 9's. With close to 800 rwhp on a GS, it is possible.

With only about 400 rwhp :P

I wonder where he put the turbo because when we tried to do that to my car the turbo would not fit its a very tight setup, so we decided on using an aero charger instead, and I have a GS400 not a 430 so thats even a worse fit than mine, so it could be a hoax, but hey who knows there is a LS430 turbo out there already and I can vouch for that I've seen it, that thing hauls arrss BBD have you seen it, its from your home country, Ive also seen 2 1000hp supra's, and 1000hp skyline killing a SV diablo

I cant remmember the site right now but when I do Ill post it

there are some crazy arabs out there

There is a guy who is new to CL(CamryRR) who also posts on the www.toyotanation.com forum alot. (also as CamryRR) He is in Canada, he is who went to the shop in Montreal where that project is underway. Maybe he can give you directions. I asked him to post details and specs on CL when they are available. Hope that helps you, Tiny

Man, that is one awsome car which so much hp on right foot, it's trouble waiting to happen or it's JAIL BAIT in Cal public road. But realisticly, we can not use all those HP in the US. Especially in Cal. I believe with the normal daily traffic in the Bay Area and in S. Cal, the 750+ HP is a waste. It's although a good BRAGGING right though. As for me, I think getting 300-350 RWHP is prentty for the street use. With 750+ HP, it's one hell of a ride at Laguna Sega Raceway. For $15+K, I'll save it for the next gen GS. But then again, it's only my opinion....
