Plan to in fact here is a picture of it! just lookin for now but this is what I want!

They want $16,900 for this one it has 29,000 miles on it though. It sure is pretty.

I got no pics at the moment. But I got a 2001 Chevy Xtreme. K&N Cold Air Intake, 33,000 miles on it. Gotta do a performance Manual Swap, 18" rims n tires, Candy Apple or Jet Black paint job . Trying to find a way to get a customized T3 turbo setup in the beast (AC has to go). IF and ONLY IF somehow alienware would sponsor it as a show truck I would come up with an alienware theme for it . (IN MY DREAMS YEAH I KNOW!!!)

Nice is it the V6?

Are you in the market for a car brain?

I liked it. What is the manufacturer it ?

i'm like the only one with a rice rocket.. lol

95 supra turbo... money i saved getting this over a porsche etc there's some nice mods to it.. whp is 600... 25 psi on c16 fuel.. 461 whp 18 psi on 91 octane... getting kinda bored of it though.. trying to sell it to try out an evo for a while.

Is it a manual? if so were do you live I'll come test drive it and then make you an offer

Yes here is the official description.

ONE OWNER EX COUPE V6,AUTOMATIC,AIR,LEATHER,FACTORY STERO CASS/6 DISC C.D. CHANGER, POWER SUNROOF,KEYLESS ENTRY,ALUMINUM WHEELS, PLUS EVERY AVAILABLE POWER OPTION, REAR SPOILER,FINISHED IN SNOW WHITE WITH BEIGE LEATHER

Im not into the whole "ricer" scean although I respect teh people with the knowlageof such things as the particualrs of the internal combustion engine. I stick to computers mostly and i want a car that i have to do little to nothing to that will get me from point A to point B reliably. If I can get something that does that with a little style thrown in I'm a happy camper. I think a nice used but not overly used Honda \ Acura is they way for me to go. I currently drive a car my parents bought for me. It has served me well but its jsut time for some thing else. Its just a 1999 Mercury Mystiqe they got it for me because it looked safe and reialbe wich I must say it has been. It just time for a change. Hope fully next year I will start seriously thinking about buying another car as for now Im jsut looking. I think this one has got one more round of winter driving left in her yet.

Where in VA do you live?

I'm trying to sell my C230 Sedan

I'm in MD, close to dc/va border

Im down here in the Valley roughly 3hrs from where you are. Post some pics even if im not intersted someone else might be!

nice ride man, im a ricer also, i drive a 4 door supra (is300) among other cars

Here's my Ride.. Had a little fun in PhotoShop..

The Grand Prix GTP Comp G.. I love it... I wanna tough truck now.. looking at a GMC HD2500

::sigh:: i wish i had a supra to get bored of...

Thought I would add to this to......

For those that have not seen it on, the first photo is my newest car. It has a Jersey registration (Jersey, Channel Islands UK) not a private plate. The second photo is my main car and I keep this one in england. I have also have a Overfinch Range Rover which, if anyone is interested, I will take some photo's of. The third photo is my first ever italian stallion (lol) but she has gone to a new owner....*sob.

Hope you like em !!!

By the way turmoil..... love the porsche. My mate has one and its ssssoooo much fun to drive. I also have a freind who owns a heavily modified 197? BMW 2002 in orange. It has NO traction control, yaw control, ABS, stability management as you would expect for a car of its age and it is crazy. It spends most of its time going sideways !!!. We took it on a trackday about a month ago at a racetrack in the UK and I spent the majority of the day drifting and sliding about in with a massive grin plastered all over my face. My 360 hardly got a look in

Well I ain't got a million dollars to spend on my cars either but for now I got a sweet lil Black, Mazda Miata, 2002, with: dual borla, cone intake, Black 17' speedy rims, Pirelli P7000 low profile supersports (half bare already), PIAA Superwhite foglights (I use them alone for driving at night) n about 10 speakers from 25W to 500W running off stock system n two PowerAcoustic Amps. In addition I have police parking lights (red front), a small air raid siren (the real one, about 20lbs), and a police siren for horn that will do R2D2 noises :-D. And in true geeky fashion 2 Truck Cobra Soundtracker CBs with 2000W antena, a laptop (ancient tech but good for movies), iPAQ for MP3 and as a finishing touch a joystick for the stickshift (soon to have a built in remote control for my new lappy :-D)...

Still coming up
-Very garage spoiler
-Stage III supercharger (would have ordered this already if I didn't luv my lappie so much)
-Bilstein shocks
-Red Teeth on the grill
-Port replicator for the 51m
-LCD display to take care of my gauges
-100,000V theft deturant (or just for they joy of watchin em dance)
-802.11 Surveilance system (on the car itself)
-2 10inch Bazookas
-Surround sound (I actualy got it its just the little size to number of speakers ratio that Im having problems with 17 speakers in a two seater [19 with bazookas] will be quite an acomplishment :-P)

GOOD THING SANITY WAS NOT ONE OF THE PREQUISITES FOR OBTAINING A DRIVERS LICENSE

Can I play?

'69 RS/SS 427 Camaro All Factory Steel
460 BB Chevy, Weiand 8-71 Supercharger w/8mm drive, 2x BG Demon 850's, 750 lift Comp Cams Roller, Merlin 315cc ported heads,2.30" exh. 1.9" intake valves, Crane triple springs, Art Carr Turbo 400 w/reverse manual valve body/Art Carr Trans Brake, Danny Miller Ford 9" w/Alston Ladder bars, 4:11.1 Pro Gears w/ Pro lightweight spool, 4 wheel disk brakes, Competition Engineering wheelie bars (although I've never needed them). Way too much torque for a 11.5" tire. 60 foot was never under 1.48sec.
Best Et to date:9.86@140mph, overdriven 22.5%. Final comp ratio 21.1:1
11.5" MT slicks@9.5lbs
Car weighs 3886lbs w/o driver-ME
Ya like that $500 Billet Specialties Steering Wheel? Ya, me too.

Yea, when I drive it on the street, it's tough to beat.

I've had a few PM asking about HP and torque figures.

HP overdriven 22%@7000rpm=1175
Torque@6500rpm=1200ft lbs
Gas Mileage=4 gals per mile-YES!

Underdriven for street use
HP=950 on 92 octane
torque=approx 1000ft lbs
Gas mileage cruising=4-6mpg depending how much lead is in my shoes

On a side note. I recently had a offer of $14,000.00 for the complete engine. I'm seriously considering accepting. I'm also considering pulling the 15 gal Alum fuel cell with sump and reinstalling the stock tank, etc.

I just spent over 5K on a crate 350hp/350 w/everything polished or chrome.

Then shipping it down to Barrett/Jackson Auctions in Arizona.

Should bring 25-35K on the auction block.

Now that I'm 40, I find it more enjoyable playing on my computers. Is that a sign of getting old or what?

If I do and more than likely will sell this overhorsepowered piece of American Muscle, I told the wife I'm heading over to the Harley dealership. I do like a big 'ole FATBOY. HD that is

Have no fear. Roy has more 4 wheeled toys!
