He also got it in automatic to make it a bit cheaper (no clutch upgrades) and a better drag car (4 gears vs 6).
It all costs a LOT, but some people are really into that kind of thing and his parents helped him out a lot (they own an indy repair shop).
But nothing beats completely dusting some guy in a random souped up jap rocket  (including STIs and EVOs) |
FYI, the supra is a "jap rocket" too. Actually, it may be comparable to a NASA uber space shuttle in your context, but japanese.
