Oh man, the sound of that Supra in those vids takes me back to last summer, Rrocket.   ;)

I SOOOO wish I had a video camera in the Supra.  The look on Bob's and your face was priceless the 1st time you guys hit full boost.   ;)

I'm sure the lock of complete shock when you told me the TCS was OFF would've been even better!

Yea, but the car was well behaved with TCS off.  Not once did you have a "moment".  You even took it down a dirt road, remember?
How fast is my Supra?  I sh*t on Cessnas from a roll....

I think it was more the look on the Mennonites faces as we went past at 215 leptons...

Ya...driving the Supra is similar to driving the RX-8...both have 4 tires.   ;D
If it flies, floats or f#%&s...rent it.

Hehehe...your test drive was the best.  There's a car like...500-750 metres in front of us, and I'm thinking that it's not enough space to punch it.  Before I can say "Leave yourself more space", TopGun nails it and in an instant were on the guys bumper.  Calm as a cucumber, TopGun says "It has more torque than I thought".  That was awesome!!   :rofl2:

Must be those pilot nerves 'o steel, eh?

Nope...it was you making sure your head was against the head rest that made me back off...that and my eyes going blurry way before we got there.

Gee, that sounds like a safety issue. Didn't the oxygen masks come down from the ceiling when you were approaching escape velocity?

And looking at that 'cuda video, I imagine after a while that thing would vibrate itself to pieces!

Are you both being serious about this?  Or just joking?

I'm only half kidding.  I'm just not used to that kind of forward acceleration...it tended to focus my vision directly in front of me...and ignoring the other stuff  around me that I'm not in danger of hitting.
