I would love to see the look on the first victims' face. I would also like to see what a tire coming off the rim looks like on the first launch.

Don't hit the gas too hard in a corner dude...A local neighborhood guy in High School dropped a 427 into a Vega station wagon and it broke in half!!!

THis is a solid frame pickup. Lots stronger than a vega. Also, no low end power. Corning will not be a problem at lower speeds.

No, I really dont know about them.

I thought it was some sort of custom made one of a kind engines. I didnt know it was as simple as a supra turbo motor.

Like i said, it looks cool, but, I have never heard of it .. geez.

Not sure how much of a sleep it is, I think the giant fan and fuel cell give it away, oh and the lack of hood/grill/bumper Still sweet though
