Torque-tastic!
Any guesses on how many horses that lump will have?

that sounds..ummm...fast!



...I did see a twin-turboed Lexus 4.0 V8 the other day. in a series 1 or 2 RX7. oh and it had nitrous as well. unfortunately blew up his gearbox or did something similiar though so didnt get to see it run.

Now, I may have got this story arse about face, but if I read it right, Thor are going to take a Supra, and lob the engine in the bin. It's replacement is a V8. A Lexus V8. A Lexus 4.7 V8. WITH TWIN TURBOS!

So how are you going to get your wife to let you spend the money on the conversion?
