They didn't come from the factory with those specs. Factory installed kit/suspension, nothing more. The power mods on those "legendary" factory installed TRD2000gt mr2s were aftermarket addons from HKS and blitz, etc. The car that's most famous for that near 500 hp power output is a blue or purple one in Europe... owner had his car sent to TRD, kit installed, and then went crazy with aftermarket stuff. The result is the car you're talking about. Curb weight is still closer to ~2700-2800 lbs - IIRC the car was a fully optioned turbo.

**EDIT** Here found the info on the blue car...

I don't think he is the original UK owner though because the last time I saw this car, it had NO Apexi stuff, only HKS parts.

I wouldn't care about reliabilty IF MONEY WAS NOT AN OBJECT. no they aren't the best quality, but it's a freakin delorean! how many people can say they have one? plus the only reasons i would want one are for the looks and those bitchin' gull wing doors. i probably wouldn't even drive it much... i would probably just stare at it (loving the way it looks)... and wonder how to get the flux compassitor to work

^ Until you want to go to Las Vegas.

[metheores]

I would go for the Lotus Exige- if not the Skyline.
or the Porsche GT2 Turbo

But i don't know because i would also love to have a Toyota GT 2000...

[SnowRocker88]

This is a horrible thread...I feel soo confused...If $ was of no object, I'd have a lot of cars...and boats...and planes...and other toys. I'd be looking like Jay Lenno (except not soo many gay steam-engine cars...more crazy cars)

[SnowRocker88]

[metheores]

Haha, i agree though- if money was not an issue i'd probably have to buy my own parking lot to park my toys. ;D

I would like a ducati monster dark too...

[lsgheero]

If money was no object I would pay someone (not sure who exactly prolly a team from lotus, ferrari, etc) to design me a one and only custom car specific to my needs.

[SnowRocker88]

The tanks are both amphibious...so they're bound to be fun. Running over a car would feel like just bumping the curb...

[Butters]

Aston Martin DBS for me... like a previos poster said the sound of one of those makes me need to change pants.

I would drive this. Since money is no object i would be able to afford the costs of all damage caused to the roads, vehicles, and civilians injuries or deaths that may be caused that are in the way of my path.
