sc's are str8 lookin cars.. hard to imagine that theres a v8 under there.. **** must make a lot of power.. are they really heavy?? cuz theyr not that fast! i mean they are but for a small 2 door convertible with a v8 its not that fast, a big ass 6 cylinder m3 will blow it out of the water, lol my bad this has nothin to do with your photochop, nice job turnin into a dragster...

Nope. I was told they wanna make a drag car for next year, and went with my imagination, trying to keep it along the same lines as the drag Celica as far as graphics. Originally it was mostly blue, but I really like black as the dominant color.

Eh, it's a new car. Hopefully things will hook up soon. We did run 9.04 @ 165 about 2 weeks ago on three cylinders. We figured out the problem right away, but were already elim'd. This weekend we were at HIN in Chicago as part of their show schedule. So we should be able to actually start competing next weekend in Englishtown.

Actually by racing standards it's an old car, it just doesn't have any runs on it. Wasn't the car supposed to run either before or after the SEMA show of last year?

There were a lot of things that were supposed to happen. But TRD held the project back a bit. It's all good tho. Things will work their magic very soon.

Hope so, it would be nice having another kick butt Celica on the scene.

Yeah, but then we'll all be saying somethign we never thought possible:

"Behold the awsome power of the 3RZ-FE???"

BTW - I hear some very good things about your torque/hp curve, what are the odds you could post or e-mail a dyno with it?

BTW - as for why its slow that is one HEAVY car for its size. Very solid tho, kind of bently-esque in its sturdiness.
