I was all exited until they popped the hood to revel a supra engine. Cool drifting shots on the second half of the video though.

Yeah a supra... that isn't exactly keeping it classy

The drift shots are pretty fantastic though.

As a racer Ive learned to respect the comp.Personally I do not like or support japanese cars.However I do realize you can get 1000 horsepower out of these puppies without going in the engine.I will hesitate running this guy.

its a good engine but not in a w124 500e (or E500 from the looks of it). I wouldn't have a problem w/ turbo's on the m119, but the whole draw of the 500e500 is the engine (well, a few other things too). They should have done this to a 400e or something if they are really set on the w124 chassis. Its like dropping an e36 M3 s52 into an e30 M3....great engine, but don't do it to an original.

Question,what does the 500e do better than the supra engine?Are you refering to fuel ,horsepower quality build or torque?
