and also alot of "sporty cars" first one that came to mind was the ford gt500 with the tundra having a faster 0-60 time

either way i think the truck is hideous and the only thing i like about it is the power it makes so ill give it credit on that. If this was a gm truck making those numbers id be all over it! too bad i will never see myself in any toyota/nissan or any non american truck,**** that!

So all of you Toyota haters out there, you should still be excited to see this truck roll off the production line because this is going to force Dodge, Ford and Chevy to put out a comparable performance truck!
dude i hate to say this but have you seen how bad the "big 3" are doing lately? I wouldnt be surprised if we didnt see anything domestic being made at ALL this year coming up...let alone a performance truck from the big 3. I hope im wrong tho

That's awesome, good job Toyota! Now instead of messing around with TRUCKS try bringing back something like THE MR2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We all need an affordable, fast, midengined sportscar with bullet proof reliability and stupid fuel mileage.

Didn't get the 12 I was hoping for. It ran a 13.06 @ 103+. There are still a few tuning issues but, the tracks are pretty much closing around here so that's it for this year.

I think thats pretty cool that they allow you to have a supercharger installed and it doesn't void the factory warranty. Would be nice if GM had something like that.

You can't really complain about the price once you see the option break down. If you just go for the go-fast goodies you can have that thing for around $30K.

You'd be surprised some of the cars toyota has supercharged. Hell, even the previa egg van had a superchrager and awd option. It's like a big ugly rally car.

Don't speak of such things..........................
The Duece is never coming back in a platform that people will enjoy. And I want to buy a hard top solstice turbo, if they made another MR2 I'd have to buy that.
