Thanks for sharing the video. The GT-TT is just phenomenal and your passion for driving fast is obvious. I look forward to your updates as the beast gets even stronger.

If you ever run out of people willing to race you in FL, come out to Scottsdale! There are some insane Vipers and Supras here, along with a few Paganis and the like.

If I can ever justify getting a "toy" car to my wife the GT is top of my list. The mods seem pretty cost effective too, considering what I had to pay to get just under 600HP out of my CLS55! I know the local Lotus dealer and he moves a lot of GTs, as does the broker I've used (Amil J.) for my two current cars.

Treynor, you're gonna want a 1400+ HP GT now right?

Where's Treynor we haven't heard from him in a while. After seeing this awesome video, maybe Treynor will want to get into a 1400+ HP GT TT. I predict that that GT we all saw in the video will end up much more than just 1400 HP, because power is addictive and he'll probably end up around 1600+ Horsepower with a custom built motor and then he'll probably want to add Nitrous.
7 second 1/4 mile car? LOLOL that's just amazing!!

Wasnt that one of Joes friends re-enacting the busa guy? but yes he did a wicked impression!!!

OMG i have chills and almost tears in my eyes after watching that video!!!!!!!!!

That is better than the last movie i went to see at the cinema!!!

I pissed myself at the guy calling up his girlfriend to tell her he was staying late at the workshop!!!!!!!!!!!

And the bit when joe was on his guitar was cool too! what you mean no other hobbies joe?!

Love your work, truly inspirational and gives me more enthusiasm to keep throwing money into my Skyline GTR which is currently undergoing full rebuild!

Thanks so much for that!
