You can't talk about Scion race cars without mentioning Chris Rado.

For those who don't know who Rado is... Here is the RUNDOWN:

Fav Past Cars: 300hp Black 1994 Acura Integra GS-R Turbo ( I blew it up and turned it into my first racecar.), Stock 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee I kicked the crap out of this thing, also my first and last American car. Stock 1962 Cream MG MGA MKII Convertible ( First car ever )

Next Car: Lexus LF-A & LF-A Roadster ( and will be Turbocharged Immediately )

Car Passions: I knew from the time I was little that cars were gonna be my whole life. From chopping up my Match Box and Hot Wheels cars as a 5 & 6 year old to design and building of new cars. My parents wanted to kill me,... anyway I guess when I got behind the wheel for the first time in a Go-Cart and kicked everyones butt I was 12 years old and creamed all the adults and college kids by laps. My first car was an 1988 Acura Integra LS; I drove it like a lunatic with all of it's 116hp, WEAK. Anyway I needed way more and bought my first new car after High School 1994 Integra GSR Black of course. The addiction for Real Speed thus began. I now enjoy laying down 2000hp out of my 4-Banger in my Scion tC drag machine running low 7's at 200mph+ , I also began formally Road Racing and Time Trialing in 2007 and I don't think I'll ever stop. Something about these cars accelerating into, through, and liquefying the tires the whole time is just too tempting for me to resist. Developing new ways to make horsepower and lay it down for the wildest G- Experience possible.

Personal Style: Sleek Jeans a Plain Fitted Tank Top and Sneakers but Rockin all of it.

Favourite Band of the Moment: I normally don't listen to the same Artist for more than 1 song a day, I am a music junky.. just no country.

Personal Motto: Go Fast or Go Home!!!

• 2008-2009 Unltd FWD Time Attack Scion tC

IN the world of Toyota/Lexus/Scion he is well known for creating some pretty insane cars. He has worked on Supras, Celicas, Lexus GS', Scion TCs, and probably tons more.

Chris Rado is also involved with WORLD Racing, and Descendant Racing

Beside his factory sponsor, Rado's sponsors include WORLD electronics, a family run company run by his father, NOS Energy Drink, Bullseye Power, JE Pistons, Turbonetics, Sperco, Need for speed (video game), Mishimoto Automotive, Advanced Clutch Technology, and Continental Tire.

Here are some of his new contraptions:

hat’s a good thing, considering what Rado and his crew stuffed into the engine compartment. You won’t find a stock 161-horsepower, 2.4-liter I-4 in this beast. Instead, the 2AZ-FE block was completely rebuilt by Rado’s Descendent Racing sponsors from the ground up, and treated to a gigantic turbocharger sourced from Turbonetics. The result is a four-cylinder that throws downmore than1400 horsepower and 1000 pound-feet of torque, and deliversthat insane power to all four wheels via a custom all-wheel-drive system.

THE ULTIMATE STREET CAR: CHRIS RADO'S 2500HP SUPRA

It’s a BIG engine… which one you ask? This is a 376 cubic inch Toyota 3UR-FE V8 which can rev to 10,000 RPMs and handle up to 50 lbs of boost. This power plant is typically found in most late model Toyota Tundras and Sequoias.

FWD 1/4 mile pass! 6.87 @ 197MPH






SO......

What about the Scion FR-S?

[rwdftw]

So what about it if hes making a 2500WHP Supra he'll turn this Scion FR-S into an hell of a monster now if only Scion would give him a car!

One thing worth thinking about. Since this Toyota will be coming with a Subaru motor. I wonder if Rado will do anything with it at all. He is a pure Toyota man.
