I was driving back home from the Land of the Mouse yesterday, and i saw this beauty at a rest stop on the turnpike. The owner tuned the engine to 580 horses, replaced the internals, and restored the interior to a more stock condition. The front end is very different from the original, but it looks pretty clean and put together. We talked for a minute before he took off.

It’s rather tastefull for an outrageous body kit. The color and lack of stickers helps as well.

That’s the same body kit as the V12 Top Secret Supra

Where in Orlando are you? I just moved up here from Miami back in July. It looks like the photos were taken at one of the shell stations on the toll road.

I drive a blue GTO and red SS with Holden badges.

The body kit is probably Top Secret’s “Final Evolution”. Their famous show car is currently for sale and it’s wearing a similar one. It has a twin turbocharger V12 and it’s apparently really fast as it went 355 km/h (222 mph) at Nardo test track in 2008. I think that was still wearing more Supra like body at that time.

I went there on a solo trip. I am supposed to write my vows (wedding less than a month out). I stayed at the Hilton bonnet creek and got drunk at Epcot. Lol.

If I remember correctly I saw the car at the fort pierce reststop or the next one south on the turnpike.

I drive a little Audi S3. You can see my post about me getting the car right here on oppo.

I remember seeing a red SS with golden badges last time I was driving on the turnpike a couple months ago. But a woman is driving it.

That was my wife. She probably was hauling ass as usual.

Oh very nice! Our wedding was this past September. Good luck! The stress is over after the wedding. Well most of it at least.

The S3 is a fun car. I drove one years ago in Europe.
