Default Turbo GS 300!!

have you all seen this GS 300. If yes, whose is it. It looks like a 99 TT supra engine to me.

I believe it is a 99+ Supra engine. I know that the is300 has the vvt-i and shares the same engine as the non turbo supra.

Default 2JZ-GTE VVT-I

This engine was discussed yesterday. It is an aristo V300 2jz-gte VVT-I engine and aftermarket turbos done by HKS. J-spec 2JZ-GTE's had VVT-I from 97' on. Dennis (wheel kinetics) said that car probably has about 830rwhp:eek: .

Hey ya'll!! I was at this show where this picture was taken. This was a TRD invite only show somewhere in the LA area...i'm from S.F. so i'm not sure exactly where. The owner of this car is the owner of Toysport. So i've heard. It is the same engine that comes stock in Japan on the Aristo V300 Vertex edition. I want Turbo too!! Any ways, does anyone know where I can order some of those visors that are on the car? I already have the pilar pieces, so all I need are the visors! Help!!! Thanks!!
