The tri turbo is cool and all but it seems like its a waste being they're getting 1000+ hp out of the twin turbo models. Just my input.

Haha....I know that guy went to HS with him...The car is nice but I'll be brutally honest it's not a 10 sec car. Rob is a very cool guy and he'll prob read this but straight from the horses mouth its a "show car". The audio system in the thing is just crazy. Also, on the sponsorship note, Rob could and did do most of the work out of his own pocket....believe me they are deep...most of the sponsorship stuff is stereo only. His dad has a really profitable business and if anyone could afford that car it would be Rob. Side note he owns his own biz for doing all the vinyl graphics all these kids with imports seem to love....If you've ever been through Phx you know there is enough imports to more that support his speed habits....

Ummm...

wouldn't the tri turbo idea just increase the top end speed? Because It would need a hell of alot of exhuast to mkae enough to get all those turbos going. I can't see it helping your off the line time.

It does look cool though :rockon:

I just posted it because it is a unique idea. The specific car may not be much competition but another one may come along that is. Just got to keep a watchful eye on the competition.

I've often thought the same. I mean, the supra boys are always bragging about how fast they can go with very little money...until they sell their cars then they find receipts for thousands and thousands of dollars.

The 3 turbo thing is definatley different, but if I had a supra mine would be a single. Hats off for him being different though.
