No. I'm saying that I'd consider a Supra if a Top Secret model was a production model. I've never actually owned a Supra.

Oh....


So KingTuna? Is it true? You have a Top Secret Supra in your garage? Hmmm? Come on, you can tell. You're among friends. Well, except for Joe. He's still got that grudge over the chocolate cake. But other than that. You're completely safe. Minus the rocket launcher in the corner. But other than that you can tell us anything without getting hurt. So? Do you have a Super Supra? Hmmm?

Nice engine. What's your differential and suspension setup? Plus how many gears?

ok, now you're getting beyond me...mostly i tell my buddy mechanic " i want more...." and then give him money

it's a 5spd, not sure what the LSD on the rear is. might be MOPAR. some of the suspension parts are HKS (those i can see from outside) and there's a brembo big brake kit on the front. rear brakes are the discs from the 300zx i got the motor out of. hks turboes & v-mount intercooler.

Probably looking at a Torsen or viscous differential then. But sounds like a nice car.

Now if the LF had that body but only slightly more conservative than the concept I'd be happy. But do we know what's going to be under the hood?

5.0L V10 with rear mounted radiators. Although I hope they insulated the radiator cables so that the heat doesn't transfer to much into the cabin.

I'm sure there will be insulation but I think they would be pipes connected on each end with hoses not cables. Maybe cables is a non U.S. term that I don't know like bonnet/hood and wing/fender.

Yes, cables are the same thing as hoses. It's not an automotive term but a structural term. See by removing the middle part of the cable you retain the tensile strength and torsional strength of the cable but lighten it. Thus reducing the cost of the product. (In structural engineering mass always equals money.)

@ Uber I bet that aluminum or whatever they made the pipes out of, cost more than rubber hoses. I bet it was for reliability and just plain common sense.
