qouted from a use on a different forum, pretty insane!
This car was actually the cover car of Import Tuner several months ago, although I realized I never got around to posting it here. I can honestly say, I don't think I will ever shoot a car of equal quality in my lifetime. This is the owner's race car, but he also has a 800 hp S4 daily driver and an absurd hp corvette. The shop that did most of the the work was Accelerated Performance in Toledo, Ohio and a lot of the engine work was done by David Localio at Headgames. Just to name a few things that were crazy to me aside from the horsepower and 1/4 time was the fact that the engine is completely polished and the dash is carbon fiber, covered in suede. It's like this supra has a disassociative disorder; a drag monster, stuck inside of a show car's body. For a video build up of the cover check out the blog of Art Director of Import Tuner, Clint Davis at

I realize it's not exactly a sleeper, but I think they just meant that the show car quality of it kind of hides the fact that it runs 7's.

And what the owner did when he found out his magazine is out. :)
