Well at the track tonight this guy who a lot of people know from his old 1000hp supra ran his 9 second eclipse. His name is Jesus Rivera. This car is badass! Its the first time I actually saw it in person. Its a 1g GSX that has everything. It has a water cooler instead of an intercooler. Huge turbo and everythign you can think of. It even has power windows though and is street legal. I am friends with his driver Hector. I have know him for along time. The driver actually worked at the dyno here where Pure Rage (Ray) blew his car up with my turbo kit. Anyways this car is awesome. His first pass he got a 10.1 @140. The second he got a 9.9 @147 still no nitrous. Then on the third they decide to run a 100shot. On the launch the car just stops. I am not sure what happend but they suspect tranny problems. I wish it would have made the run. Their best time on it has been a 9.6 @150.

I can't even fathom what it would be like to go that fast. Especially when launching in a 9 second car that has AWD. I seriously would probably lose control of all bodily functions right then and there. Are there any videos out of this car at the track?

Here is the web site for the car. its still under construction though. I have a couple friends that were taping it so I'll see if they can get it on the internet. I will also ask Jesus if he has any videos on the computer of his car.

it;s street legal due to Fl not having emmisions..... there is no way that would pass in NJ or CA

aren't these the garage advance guys? I remember the supra at the tuner bash and they all had shirts with "1000HP 6 cyl., 600HP 4 cyl., stock internals, any questions?" on them, so is this the dsm with stock internals?

600hp on a stock 6 bolt is doable, and has been done plenty of times. The guy who tuned my car from turbocharers.com pushed a stock bottem end on a 1G Talon to 550HP at all 4 wheels. Factor in the 36% drivetrain loss, and its waaaay over 600HP at the crank. He said he was trying to blow it up, but it just kept making more and more power. He was telling us this with a 1400 RWHP Supra sitting in the corner under a cover, hahahaha Chris is crazy
91 awd: 60-1, 880's, E-Prom, etc. 93 awd: JDM 6 bolt, K&N, full exhaust, Wally 255, otherwise stock.
R.I.P. the original "Factory Freak" 15.5's with short ram and catback only 1996 RS 5-speed

Hey, I work at Aerocomp Racing in Sanford and yeah it's one sweet and fast car. I will make sure that I post the latest track times whenever we go back. You are right about the tranny problems with that third run. Totally busted the tranny, but a new one is in. Just got the new Haltech in so we can map up to 45 psi. Running 40 lbs. now but current haltech stops at 35 lbs. Gonna take the car as far as we can go!
