My 500hp '91 Toyota MR2.

Garrett GT35 turbo.
HKS 272 cams
AEM ECU
forged pistons
800cc injectors
Walbro fuel pump
water injection
air/water intercooler
HKS wastegate
custom intake & exhaust manifolds

9000rpm
Mid 11s 1/4 mile on drag radials.

Gotdamn I wasted some money on that car. I still have it, but haven't f'd with it in years... will probably part it out if I get a chance.

Since this is the internet, I'll go ahead and admit I have a 66 Shelby Cobra. That's how I roll.

My current car, a 2009 911 Carrera, is the fastest I've owned. My previous, a 2010 Transformers Edition Camaro 2SS, would easily give it a run in the quarter mile, but the 911 tops out around 25 mph higher.

I also had several bolt on modded Fox 5.0's, and a 79 Malibu with a 406 and nitrous.

Mustang with stick was more fun to drive.
Malibu with automatic and spray was way faster.

Transmission handles it well... you have to upgrade the axle shafts if you launch it with drag radials though.

Those stock blocks have made over 700hp without cracking...Toyota made them well!

997

One of my dream cars is a 997 Turbo with all of the Protomotive goodies attached.


ETA: Current car is a 2008 BMW 335i with a ECU tune, downpipes, and a dual cone intake. Only makes about 375whp now, but with the single turbo kit I'm looking to install sometime soon, it will make 600+whp.

911 Turbo was always my dream car, but I had to settle for a regular Carrera. In the next couple years I will convert it to a GT3 RS look with the front and rear end, carbon fiber rear wing, and rims.

Probably this Jetta I had in Germany. It was some special racing edition with a carbon frame or some shite. I'm not a car guy and I creep normally. But it was fun on the Autobahn.

The ultimate Porsche, IMO.

If you're looking to add turbos as well, check out Protomotive. They have 997s that do over 1,000whp

No mods, no 0-60 time.

2006 Honda Accord V6. Got her up to 136 on I20. Loved that car. If I had to guess on 0-60 time I would day between 5.5-6.5 seconds. Suprisingly fast for a family sedan. Still got 31mpg on the highway as well.

95 civic hatch.
JDM B16 lightly built with Frankenstein turbo with custom equal length manifold, no cat to skunk 2 exhaust. Tien suspension, 15" spoons, nittos. 80% JDM cosmetically. ridiculous amounts of other shite I won't list.

Best pass was 12.9


Biggest waste of money I've ever been involved in. I woke up one morning and listed it at a ridiculous loss, sold it, bought a truck and never looked back.


Every now and then I think about building a Datsun 510 with a LS1 and a huge shot of gas lol

Most probably the 2000 Vette with the 2.73s.
Crappy in the1/4, but it loved that long straightaway at TWS.
It had HUD, but I was busy setting up for the left hander and watching the wall on the right.
It would carry 150 til you got on the brakes. Hard.
