Turbo 400 2JZ under the hood. Sub 10 second quarter mile.

Pretty entertaining video within the article. Stock (lifted) suspension. Two tanks. One for pump gas, one for race fuel. He swaps out 32 ATs for race slicks after driving to the track. Turned 10.19 @ 134 mph when it had 700 hp. Now has 1000. Open header exhaust ported out of the front passenger wheel well. :bounce:

Calling a vehicle "an expensive piece of kit" is aggravatingly dumb.

Calling a vehicle "an expensive piece of kit" is aggravatingly dumb.

"piece of kit" appears to be a British phrase. I have a hard time warming up to it myself.

I understand that. But a car (especially a stock one) is not "a piece of kit."

This beast is built not bought. A true gear head toy.
A Trackhawk is for stock brokers and posers who probably never even put that HP to the ground anyway.

I agree. He fabricated headers, intercooler, roll cage... I like how much stock 4Runner is still there too. Also, building off of a 2JZ is a nice touch rather than dropping in a small block Chevy.

I was talking about the Jeep which is what the author referred to as a piece of kit.
