i don't know if i agree or disagree with that one... It all depends on the setup. My Supra was great at the track but had issues on the street til around top of second going into third... Highway... well we all know how they run starting past 60mph...lol

I know they can be setup to run the quarter, hence why I said 90%. I was just poking at Mike cause he owns one.

Yes but that tall first gear,no torque,poor low end power make it tough to run from a dig.

I know. But you would be proud. I run mine from a stop. Even with a broken ankle

Hey Beto, Paul, was this race on global reach? From a Roll I think Mikes car could hang with him.

I always liked HKS stuff though it was expensive. Ran all of their piggybacks etc.... Geez thought they made money...

Man I remember when Jessica was running 12s years ago. Pretty sure her bf is running a ls something.

Yup drive with broken ankle. In MR2 its priceless the looks you get when you pull in a handicap parking space and pull out the crutches. Then you really throw them another surprise when you load your groceries in the front trunk of the car...
