My boosted '88 Rex GSR powered made 650/476 @ wheels only beat a 750hp M3 by 2 cars to 160 in 2003 and since then not much has changed with power to weight... LOL!

are you nuts?
you know how much shit has changed since 2003....
sooooo many records broken, and re-broken with the same cars or different cars. A LOT has changed since 03. in 03 a 12 second car was wild. a 12second car is the starting course now.

What I said was "since then not much has changed with power to weight" meaning that power to weight will always be a constant and is less of an obstacle for heavier cars at higher speeds... Power to weight is a greater factor from a dig coming out of the hole than it is @ 100mph. At higher speeds hp and aerodynamics have more to do with who will win than power to weight.

tis is true

Ya well its more of a full time fabrication place job then a performance shop. Fab worx has a fabricator full time so the price reflected that.

Thats good for you. Can't wait to see what kinda power she makes and if she is able to hold together. My only concern for you now is that baby rear end. What are you planning on doing there?

I am talking to a drive line place now. They have to get the car in and make something to fit. I was thinking maybe same kind of rear end setup as ADP in the s2000's I believe they use an infinity rear end. And a custom driveshaft and axles. It will be a one off for sure.

yes chris a GT42 + a T3 in a compound turbo setup.

Sounds like a plan... I know a lot of Supra Guys use the center sections from 99/01 & 03/04 Cobras w/ 31 Spline axles which of course would have to be custom, but that may be a good starting point for you if they can figure out a mount setup for it. I know Jason over here @ ATF designed his own diff cover w/ brace for the supra guys and my buddy Chris Gore has gone 8s with no issues making 1000+whp!

Might give him a shout when the motor is done.

P.S got sponsored by darton international so its getting sleeves now!!
