I have a friend of mine named Norm that owns the Lingenfelter TT C6Z that has run 226 "unofficially" in the mile. I saw that car at when I was at the Car& Driver 0-200-0 shoot out. He has about $250k+ in the project. They hurt the motor at the test and had to re-do it. SVS has done 231.6 in there twin turbo Viper race car but it's not even close to being a street car. A big reason is the guys at Boost Logic are close friends and they mostly work on Supras. They also lease a building from me directly behind my office. I think it's pretty cool to take a 6cly 10+year old Toyota and run those kind of numbers.
When I build mine, it will be faster than the silver Supra I just ran. I have a new Skyline GT-R on order, we shall see what we can do with it.
