Did you guys look at his specs for the 0-60 and 1/4 times. LOL
"The 7M-GTE MA70 is capable of propelling itself 0-60 mph in 6.0 seconds with 6.8 psi of boost. It reached the 1/4 mile in 14.4 seconds at a speed of 99 mph. Its top speed is 149 mph"

What I want to know is why would you spend 4k on a sound system when you can put that towards performance?

So the 90 supra is 7 tenths faster than the the 89 supra? I have a hard time believing that.

My source is a more reliable source. 
I don't have the data sheets for 1989. My numbers are direct from Toyota, not a magazine. Obviously Toyota will have tested it a ton of times to find the best possible time to publish. I doubt anyone could match it without getting lucky, etc.

I see
Its just that most completely stock MK3's seem to be in the mid to low 15's in the quarter mile.

Because he wanted to.
Why do people spend a bunch of money on engine swaps and builds and still roll around on sawblades?
It's just priorities.
I have seen MUCH worse. Trust me I work at Honda, and I have seen things that would make you puke.:nono:
I don't think that color is that bad...the lime greens, hot pinks, and variations of mirrage/changing colors I have seen are far worse.
The way he spent his money on the car however tells all you need to know. Anyone that puts that much cash into a sound system and crylons the engine bay never takes care of the cars basic needs.
EDIT: I just noticed in the engine pic its lacking a upper rad hose and rad cap...
