    11 second Street Car

    ok.......... but i would rather have a car that has sex appeal, and will run for more that 5k miles at a time....... not saying it's impossible to make an incredibly fast and reliable mkII, but why would anybody do that. i understand making mkII's fast, but no prospective corvette buyer wants...

    11 second Street Car

    there have been 2 guys so far try to "estimate" money-wise how much it will be to get a supra into the 11's. Those numbers are so far off, I've spent a lot of money on my car, and I'm still not there. They forgot all the little things that add up to be a lot of money and a lot of time. A...

    cometic gasket question

    Why don't you just resurface the head... it's about $50 and the reassurance is well worth it. i didn't think mine was even warped, but i had it done anyway, and the machinist said it was very warped. fyi- i got a cometic mhg and arp studs and they work great. i torqued to 85 lbs
