Yes, I had a '69 Pro-touring Camaro I built about 5 years ago. I sold it to a buddy of mine.
Yes, Underground built it, it is THE fastest street car I have ever driven period. My Supra is faster, but not near as drivable on the street.
You guys are funny..
Yes, I built it about 4 years ago.

Buick T-Type, 70 cuda, S65 and a very FAST Truck!
I have met SW several times although he does not know me froma hill of beans. He would show up at some of the Porsche club races back in the mid 90's in his black or red Corvettes that were some very mean machines. Not only does he have some incredible cars, his driving ability is unreal.
Also in the mid/late 90's I was riding in an undisclosed location in my friends yellow corvette, it ran mid 10's at almost 140MPH. We ran SW from a roll in his silver vette. The only words that come to mind is that I had never ridden in a car that fast and been pulled on so bad. That silver vette was a monster!
Great to see you here SW.

SW's record run in the mile with his Supra. He also ran a 7 second 1/4 with this car.

I got mine on www.carmax.com and love it. Just go there type in what you're looking for and you're done.
Fantastic stable of cars by the way. Is the lambo work done by Heffner of Florida? (http://www.heffnersperformance.com/) his lambos look insane. 1,000HP and AWD to boot. My goal is to buy a used 2005 Giardo, for $80K-$100K then take to him and for $50K more have a Bugatti Killer.

Typical clueless MB driver sentiment. Good job sport, keep that classic MB driver stereotype alive and kicking. Using your logic i guess he should sell his 2004 lambo, his classic muscle cars, and his hard top Supra.

You guys say you have respect for the OP, yet neither one of you can restrain yourselves from saturating his first thread with this stupid bickering.
Wanna prove yourselves as men, practice some self control and learn to represent this community with some class.

Guys leave the fighting to PM's and this thread to SW's desire to get more info.
No blame being assigned but seriously there are a few member(s) that seem to be involved in similar arguments (if one calls it that) in other threads; arguments that are a waste of time and childish.
No more posts about anything other than the topic at hand please.
** I cleaned up most of the posts **
