Cire - that think would destroy my G35 - ditto I have a 2008 G35S Sedan, love that thing. Fast as hell imo, but luxury fast, not racing fast... ![]() (custom painted the tailights, looks awesome from behind) ![]() I also have a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4x4 and believe it or not that thing beats a lot of cars (5.7 liter Hemi, 340 horspower). The fastest car I've been in is a Twin Turbo Porshe GT, jesus christ that thing moves! |

ArmbarKing - The car in that vid is not a Lingenfelter tuned Vette, and also not a Z06, it had some work done to it by Doug Rippie motorsports. He was also spraying nitrous, and spun like crazy in the last race. You see his front end lift when he finally hooks up and reels the talon in. Spoken the correct. The remark about the Supras is correct. Dyno Queens, that break parts and can't hook up. |

TOWE - Look @ 1:31 of the video, you can tell he wasn't even on the gas and just letting those idiots think they had him. Then his front end raises when he punches it and smokes them! Love this video... yeah, cool I wouldnt have noticed without your post |

7 second supra http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJAh6FrOALE&feature=PlayList&p=7C8C4859A5AFC7BF&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=1 9 second supra http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-hj63IX9FM there's countless other videos of supras doing well below 12 seconds.

KingOfFighters - Vettes are for Dbags You've never met anyone who has a Supra, have you? I've taken some serious cash from Chicago area Supra guys and they are easily the most pompous group of street racers I've ever met. Not down to earth and friendly like the Vette, F body, DSM or Mustang guys at all. |

It is always people like KOP that fucks up the scene for everyone and tries to make some kind of line. Most people in the scene are cool until some douchebag like KOP starts chiming in on all the import vs domestic shit. Both scenes are cool and there are plenty of humble and cool people. Then people like KOP are total dicks who ruin the fun for everyone even though we all share a love of speed and motorsports. Congrats KOP - You've earned the douche award once again! |

Being friends with Clint Pohler who owned to orginal 9 sec street supra I can say that not all supras are 12 sec. 900hp. Clint used to be part owner of Turboimports.com back in the early part of 2000. Owned the badest SC300 and Supra. |

I'd rather drop a 20B into an RX-3, I've never driven a supra that I liked |

Of course there are fast Supra's, it's just a joke. A supra is the current king of the standing mile with a top speed of 246.x mph. They are amazing cars when not riced out. |

That boostlogic supra is not really a street car and has been lightened quite a bit. You can near the pebbles beating against floors that no longer have the sound deadening and carpeting. Boostlogic has approached me to build to design them a sensor for thier shifter after the twin turbo ford GT laid down 222mph on it's first ever run out of the box. It now has 400 more horsepower and will be running a lot more boost in the lower gears. Of course, it still has a full interior, A/C, and a nice sound system. We'll see how they do in january at the everglades jetport standing mile competition. |
