while we were at the tracks last friday this guy from Mayfield, WI came. he had a 94-98ish probe with a supra 2jz-gte swap!!! this thing was wicked. i got pics and footage but waiting to post it. he says he runs a 10.9!!! just listening to his burnout was crazy!!! my buddy with a stock mazdaspeed 3 raced him and he gave my buddy a 5 car headstart and still smoked his @ss. it's rwd, fully kitted, dropped on rims with one big @ss fmic. there was also this muscle car i don't remember what it was but i got a pic of it. it's a big old v8 running 2 t88's!!! the hood was cutout and all you could see was the garret parts of the turbo.

im real late on this, but can add what i know.

ive actually known the car, and owner for about 6 years now, his name is matt moss. the car just had the swap done last year. i believe he has actually ran 9's now. it was a 400+whp turbo v6 beforehand. he's pretty well known on the probe boards.

and it ran 11's when it still had the 2.5 v6 in it...

its a full 4 link with a shortened 9 inch.

it is very street legal, unless you got extremely technical. lol. but i think alot of our cars wouldnt be either....

on his street wheels, it doesnt even give itself away. very sleek.

he's actually the 2nd one to do it. a guy in fargo with a 1st gen probe gt did it, and is now in the high 8's with his. u might have seen some of his vids on youtube. guy's name is fallguy. he was also doing low 11's on the 4 cyl fwd.
