Awesome man! Envious. I like yellow too. That looks good. Not enough people respect the yellow until it blows past them in a blur.

Very hard to out do the Supra. Hands down the best factory car I have driven. They really dont make the power you would expect with the stock set up but to drive is to LOVE. It is a crowd pleaser where ever you go. I have always and will always be a Z man. I purchased this one mainly for my garage and wife. I believe it is going to be the 67 Camaro of the imports and only hold or increase in value over the next 20 years. My next build will represent the Z's well. A Z32 2+2 TT conversion with forged internals, bigger turbos, front mount, 740cc injectors, etc. I have about 70% of the items right now but have too many irons in the fire to get started.

I know you are all about the Japanese cars.

What about motorcycles???

I couldn't imagine having an impressive stable full of cars like yours, without a handful of motorcycles too.

i'm big into the power/price ratio so i think i pick the Z32. i was aurguing with an M3 owner a few weeks ago that the Z32 actually has a more desireable power/price ratio then does the M3. i guess it goes for the supra too. and i like the looks of the Z32 best

My vote:
1.Supra
2.260Z
3.300ZX
then
4.240SX

Sorry but I think the Supra is uber sexy. Even without performance that's a hot car.

P.S. Nice collection!

aHHH I will have to get another pic with the Titan .... I dont have a motorcycle yet... I am waiting for my kids to grow up, mature and move out... My oldest now is all about motorcycles and I keep telling him as long as I am paying his bills and he is not standing on his own two feet, I will not support him having one and living under my roof. So,,, I will not get one to be a good example and to take away the temptation..

Cool supra vs 350

Bill,This is the video I told you about at the Cat House!

http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...44297899&hl=en

Check out the official car is the background!!!

(BTW, It was a Twin Turbo vs NA -Now what?)

For all you onlookers, I heard that his wife won't let him drive "her" Supra w/o her in it wid him. Now what kind driving Suproase he's talking about? Sounds like cruisin, ...not driving!

gixxers are lame? seriously? don't talk. maybe yamaha has a few better aspects, but the gixxer 600 can do 90 in first gear, and 0-60 in under 4. lame is not the word i'd use. perhaps over rated.

lol all crotch rockets that are new will do those numbers. no the yamaha's and kawasaki's just feel SOOO much better and yamaha is staying ahead of the game with new technologies first plus they just upped the motor's compression ratio.

Ducatis FTW! Drop dead sexy and blows away Jap bikes off the line thanks to this certain concept called torque.

yeah off the line, after that though, meh! fancy Italian bikes are all about being exotic. nothing to special to them other than a name and using a V. also Kawasaki i believe is bringing out the screamer motor again, its got a linear firing order instead of batch fire. sounds SICK and makes a bit more HP but there was a few draw backs to it but the benefits outweighed them.

So not true Snw! Theres alot more to Italian bikes than good looks. Ducati is all about racing......like 11 World Superbike titles in the last 15 years. This from a small Italian company a fraction of the size of the Japanese conglomerants. These bikes are first and foremost made for racing. I can get far more cornering speed and better lean angles on the 1098 than I could with the R1 or any of the other Jap bikes I've had. Its hard to describe, but this bike is pure bliss in the twisties. And oh yeah, did I mention, SEXY!!
