Why shouldn't it be done like that? |

I guess I want to know how that beast sounds.
Tuning Ferrari's should not be done like that though... |

Kenny, well we know that here, but you took the pics outside this forum.
I don't mind my pics being hijacked all over the net, but mentioning the source would be nice.
Anyway, nuff said. I think the car is cool, but wasn't too impressed with the work they did on trimming the roof posts. |

Mentioning the source of the pictures would have been a polite thing to do...

Posted in another thread, thought others might find interesting:
quote:I am the owner of the black 86 targa TR that many people saw last weekend in Indy...After reading the posts about the car I will try to set the record straight. The car is 1986 TR US car...this car was on the cover of car and driver sept 86...I purchased the car from the owner in chicago when the car had a few thousand miles on it....The car was sent to R. Strayman in california for a targa conversion as many of you may be aware they are the premier body conversion co in calif....the car was sent about 4 yrs ago to Bob Norwood in dallas where he converted the motor to a four valve twin turbo motor with computer controled NOS to spin up the turbos thus eliminating turbo lag...The NOS can be turned off by a switch in the center console...I never use it as the car is so fast without it and there is vertualy no turbo lag...The car has aprox 25000 org miles on it and the redone Norwood motor has approx 2000 miles.. The car is missing a few rubber pieces around the corners (uses 308 moldings)...The car is extremely fast you wont find a ferrari that will run away from it yet the car is extremely civilized and easy to drive although I never drive any of my cars for more than short putts...Last year I sold my F 40 to the pres of club in kansas city...many of you may have seen the article on the car in forenza mag this past spring...Anyhow before I sold the F40 we raced it against the TR several times...At the line the F40 ran away for the first 150 yards then the TR ran away from it...lots of fun...All in all the TR is a great car The targa conversion and the norwood conversion make it a fun car to drive and no one is going to pull up next to you and blow your doors in...I have a factory mod twin turbo porshe (96 and very fast and special ) and the TR runs away from that car also...The car is for sale $84000... It needs to be owned by someone who is going to drive and enjoy the car ...this car likes to run not sit in the garage...this car really has over 900 horsepower norwood says just under 1000 hp he dinoed the car after he built the engine...Im sure he prob has records on the car also the big tires and wheels help keep it on the ground...If anyone has interest contact me at 317 7522000...
