It was great having you, thanks for stopping by! See ya'll at GTR Festival US 2024!

[@liddz434]

Loved your shop tour, very impressive! Well done👌

[@jaycqc8136]

You're a legend

[@stevenross-watt8640]

Pure professionalism. Thanks

[@honda.spares.man1]

Great quality, recall having your exhaust on my dc2 in mid 2000s.

[@bocajuniors55]

You guys are legendary

[@deevizm8035]

That last r8 that is what I call a “true street car” with nothing removed, isn’t overly loud and just as easy to drive as the original standard car, but can do a mid 7, is what blows my mind. Having a drag car is one thing, but a full weight, luxurious, easy to drive car that does 7s blows my mind.

[@rmp5s]

Same here. Just because your pro mod has a license plate, that doesn't make it a "street car". That just makes it street legal. I find it MUCH cooler to have a car that's not only fast but is comfortable too. That's why I love the GT-R. And that's why I have one.

[@smooth_ops2942]

Im from and still am a resident of DFW, I say Tony and T1 are the pinnacle of performance engineering with immense technical know how in every aspect of the genre.

[@antilagboostaddiction8322]

Man i love T1 Tony has always been outstanding human being even back when he was setting the world on fire with Hondas. Guy is a wizard behind that laptop wish i had a few hundred grand to throw at him to get my dream car built to perfection

[@MaxPower-zw7xr]

That VR38 he’s building up for a Daytona Prototype is VERY interesting. I’m assuming the car is one of the ex ESM Ligier based cars that were Nissan GT3 powered back in that time. One of those chassis with a heap of extra power would be very fast indeed.

[@gapzlaGTR]

Love t1 products - have a bunch in my GTR and Tony is always helpful with answering questions including technical stuff and he does quick shipping all the way to Australia!

[@jellypoter225]

This guy create monsters

[@tajmann1]

By far the most competent and humble team I've met. Their customer service is unparalleled - even for the average customer! T1's success is well deserved!

[@augiemoto]

i have known tony for a long time he is a down to earth person tells you how it is and great customer and friend support also i miss our street racing days

[@cincy.a.l.w3219]

The Chris Miller and Tony Palo days will always be in my memory. Tony is such a perfectionist and competitive that it's not surprising where he is at now. Congrats to him and the whole crew.

[@ricardorodriguez-se7tp]

Yes sir but let's not forget Mike he was his right hand man Mike use to do the fabrication on the T1 Integra then Mike went on his own and started his shop because Tony like he said their was more money in GTR platform.

[@BoostedR130]

Great video, thanks for sharing with us!

[@sajsed2]

Awesome content thanks you for posting ❤

[@georgef1176]

I remember seeing some of Tony’s first important races when he had just begun to make somewhat of a splash. Man I guess that shows how old we are now.

[@swollen4ever]

Awesome interview ❤

[@css172]

Excellent video, great viewing.

[@teosworld5001]

fireeeeeeee video 🔥

[@markoz673bajen8]

"You want a job ?"
Imagine saying that to young enthusiast being a cop trainee. He could be real life Brian O'Conner.

[@BenNationAus]

very good interview/doco... and where he came from ....would be interesting to see GTR debate 2WD V 4WD.. Thanks for sharing...

[@rogerrolex6981]

Wow, that’s amazing. I love Bob Norwood I used to go to his shop when I was a kid in high school and watch him build those Ferraris and whatever cool shit they had back then in Highland Park😮😊

[@ricardorodriguez-se7tp]

Yes sir Mr. Norwood has some nice Ferrari I use to go with a guy named Phillip Wong he use to own a Honda speed shop back in the early 2000's Intercrew Auto Salon

[@keatonspence3366]

[@stuart207]
