To say that we've seen every badass Supra out there would be a flat out lie. Between here and Japan, we've featured some of the sickest Toyota supercars that you could possibly imagine. And now, we're throwing two more at you. Although both share some of the same characteristics, like being built by our long-time homies, the twins Mark "Koz" Kozeluh and Eric "Grim" Kozeluh of Twins Turbo, they couldn't be more different. Grim's car is more of a street car (although that's a huge understatement) that we dubbed the Triple Crown. The A-Team car, owned and piloted by Steven "A-Team" Aslanian, is a full out racecar and a fierce competitor in our Time Attack series. Whether you've seen an insane Supra or not, these two cars will amaze you to no end. And not just from the sheer horsepower numbers or the domineering exteriors, but because of the workmanship, attention to detail, and custom fabrication put into each car-it's the kind of blood, sweat and tears car guys always talk about. So if you weren't a Supra fan before, we guarantee you will be one after reading the story behind these two cars.

Grim's Car
It's been a long road of car building and racing for the Twins, but it didn't start off that way. Back in '93 when they were working as plumbers, Grim caught the Supra bug after seeing a black JZA-80. Checking around the dealerships, he figured he couldn't drop $50k on a car just yet.

Fast forward a few years, the Twins hooked up with Vinny Ten as he was about to launch the Performance Factory in Queens, New York. Grim still couldn't justify dropping the sticker price to buy his own Supra, so he and his bro figured that having a hand in building and racing one would be the next best thing. For those of you who remember drag racing, the Performance Factory Supra was a dominant force down the 1320. And it was the first East Coast car into the 10s, the first Supra that got into the 11s, 10s, 9s, 8s, and that hit 140, 150, 160 and 170mph down the quarter-mile. After knowing how much power they could exploit out of the 2JZ-GTE motor, Grim finally decided to start searching for his own Supra.
