Very nice! Theres a guy in my area that has a 2J firebird, must be a lot of work!

It's really to bad supras can't hook like that. He's still getting wheel spin, but way less than a supra. Imagine the potential with that powerplant...wow

[spiko]

2JZ, no crap

[Hot_Wheels]

what trans?? wheres the specs? i will trade my entire festiva stash plus one right nut for.

turbo 400 , its a GM tranny.

[kumalaba]

wicked!

[htchbck]

I have to ask... What are those front wheels for? It doesn't need them! Lol.

That thing is wicked! I'd rather see it in a Mark VII though, just for even more of a "unique" factor, but still very awesome!

Sucks he put it in that model tbird. He should have put it in the turbocoupe version of the tibird. That or get the turbocoupe front end and turbocoupe hood on it. Looks way better

[PhoenixSHO]

Looks like he got alot of money into it , the trans and rear axle , looks like they are not stock.

Im fairly certain that that thing got at least 700hp..

[Grey Vw]

As unsafe as it is the skating is awesome!

[sasquatch]

ya its got a bit of work done to it... its just getting broken in too... the motor is built for 1800hp but is only sitting at about 1100 right now. its got a stock ford 8.8 rear end with a spool, c-clip eliminator axles, a set of gears in it, thats it... the trans is a turbo 400 thats built for 2500hp cause we didnt want anything going bad on it lol... when hes ready its most likly gonna get a better rear end with a better suspension... they dont make a set of "drag" springs and shocks for a thunderbird (or we couldnt find them in time, i forget lol...) so its got a set of stock springs and monroe-matic cheap-o shocks cause thats all the local parts store had in stock lol... some things are kind of scary on the car but it goes fast as hell lol...
