I'm liking what I am seeing in the new Supra.

Now if it is $80K . . and I had the money, I would prolly just go with the LC Lexus - loves the looks of that car.

There has been an explosion of those around here. Import shop a couple blocks from my apartment makes monthly visits to auctions in Japan.... its wild some of the stuff they come back with. Lots of rally cars.... last haul brought a 91 CHP camaro that had somehow made its way over there.

I think the Mazda speed version adds a turbo which raises the power a whopping 15HP

That’s a really big, vehicle. Seriously though, I wonder what the chassis/power plant is under that thing.

To my knowledge they have never been powered by that. Most were powered by Chevy V6's.

Newer ones by a 6.0 LSX engine.

But there is certainly some odd bird ones out there... I heard they made one based off of a mini??
 
Could have sworn that I saw one that was built on a GM motorhome chassis with a 455... you're right though, I must have been remembering wrong.

Frankly, this Wienermobile talk is the wurst. I relish the idea of moving on to other topics - lets be wieners, not losers, here people.

My oldest just turned 14 and as the driving age in SC is 15, I need to start making plans to hand over to her the 2007 Honda Civic I bought from my dad a few years ago.

Given the trouble I have looking out of the back window, I really wish this car had a back up camera. Has anyone in the club installed one on their own with good results that they’d recommend or is my best bet here in the Charlotte area to pay a “professional” at Freeman’s Car Stereo?
