Is this car for real??
Now, i am not into the ricer look, although I do appreciate the work and money that goes into them, but this seems too good to be true. check out this car and tell me if you think there is any way this car is as good as it sounds for the asking price:

I looked didn't see an asking price. But watching the powerblock tv on spike
tv a couple of weeks ago I have seen where they have ricers with up to 40k
worth of stuff on top of them. They call em tuner cars. Car looks nice but I
would never buy one regardless the price I am a truck man.

Those supras are the only "ricers" I can appreciate or...not dislike, because they are pretty fast and I'm pretty sure they're RWD, they are ment to be a sports car (unlike a civic). That looks like the one which was in Fast and the Furious.

That is a pic of the Fast and Furious supra. Twin Turbo v6 RWD beast. Stock supras had high 200's or low 300's for horsepower. Not bad for a 3000 lb car. I think I remember reading that the owner spent something like 60K on that car. Too flashy if you ask me.

He's probably thinking of the Supra's chunkier rival, the 3000GT. The 3000GT has a V6, while the Supra has a L6 (Woot - 300 pride! hehe). 3000GT has 4WD, which adds a bit of weight (which in these cars is baaaad).

I believe the TT ones push 400 HP actually......they are well into the 300's stock.

That particular supra is a single turbo (T66 built custom) puts out 500+ hp and goes 0-60 in 4.3 secs, and it actually valued at $150,000.

Incredible what some people do to cars. I would have bought me 2 trucks, and had them tricked out for that much cash.

yup, someone showed me pics of his bike (Chopper) on ebay, someone from Germany or something like that was trying to sell his bike. He had the pics posted on his personal site, he took them down some time later and contacted ebay.
