I\'m not sure.  I think perhaps a toned down version could sell, but from the above, not in large numbers!!

It would get round the need for water catch trays on most vented bonnets and that has a certain appeal.

I can\'t make up my mind on this one either.  As si said.  it\'s...different

I\'d agree with Russ.

I think that\'s one of SP Engineering\'s cars. If memory serves, it has a Supra 2JZ-GTE lump under the hood (3 litre in-line 6). Blown by two fairly large HKS GT turbos (3037?). Probably F$&king quick in a straight line!

What else could they do?! The 3litre block is very tall, and the turbos weren\'t at all shy if memory serves. Most of the features had the car pictured without a bonnet, and for good reason.

See:http://www.turbomagazine.com/features/0112tur_supra/

...for a feature.

would look great on a drag racing rex, and by the weight of the engine i guess thatrs what the \'supra-7\' is used for.
