LOL! There you go again assuming! I don't even need to look at the link.The cars a Dinosaur but a good one .That 9.2 sec daily driver is modded to the hilt! I've known about them since the first one that came out 1983 non intercooled .I've been drag racing since 1986 and have owned several sports cars! I've seen tons of em,driven in tons of em,had friend' s with tons of em including T-Types and GNX's(high 13's) and stck they (GN)run 14's.My C43/55 is running a stck 55 motor(low 13's) . By the way,GN motors blow up,front engine seal issues.

While I loved that car we are well past it's time.You were doing good with the Supra now your coming back with a 1 and 3/4 ton relic. again you sound hostile but it's Kool!i'm not trying to put you down i was only giving informed factual info about the swap and financial details.

Umm, Carl i think you're mistaking my ebay purchase for blackbenzz's. And as far as ebay goes, yeh i probably wouldnt go that route again without inspecting the car myself as i found out that i have higher standards than both the seller and the inspectors as far as what "good condition" constitutes. Its been fun fixing up the car though, i looked at it as a restoration project to some extent.

15k on a C43 is a GREAT deal. I'd have bought a C43 over my CLK 320 if i had found one at that kind of price (i paid about 15.5 for mine). Blackbenzz, ease up on the hostiliy, i disagree with Carl's idea too but that doesnt mean you can just bash his car out of nowhere like that. The C43 is a pretty classy car, my favorite interpretation of the C-class platform yet. Carl, you might wanna see if you can get some clear corners tho, that amber in the sig is killin me.

Yeh, Grand Nationals are cheap, and really freaking fast. Somewhere online there's a video of one BREAKING a 1000+ HP dyno. Bearings melted.
