460hp Supras are not gonna do much...more like 6-700 460 is barely modded and def not enough for 4000lbs. I'm talkin' big single turbo, intercooler, fuel pumps, tune, etc...you know, all the goodies.

True, there are fast Supras, but then again, there are TT Gallardos.

Supras curb weigh in around 3400 lbs, with 460whp which is T78 turbo (big single turbo) + supporting mods, on paper should beat my car up or at least give a very decent run for its money. But I reckon that I can probably handle a decent 500-550rwhp Supra on the road with my Gallardo.

It's still not cheap to get Supras up to that point, but nonetheless, it's a nice car. And I respect them.

def! I'm not sayin' that exotics are POS or not worth it, I'm just saying my choice would be a Supra with enough power to have fun with exotics.

Good Kill. I'm not doubting it for a minute. And it would have been priceless to have seen his face, lol. Still we all know that on paper the 360 is a faster car. The trick is that to access that high rpm prancing horse, you gotta rev the nutz off it. If you are even one gear too high you will be waiting for the motor to get into the sweet spot too long. They are geared tall anyway. Accessing the power on the AMG is a good bit easier (understatement). It can often generate a win or kill when you shoulda gotten smoked.

I've had it happen more than once in my car. Good one mate! Still I would love to own a 360

Deuuuce

I really liked my Supra but the turbo lag, even with stock turbos, wasn't fun.

Virtually every time I have a Ferrari out, there are always the parade of morons who are trying to race, tail gate, veer into your path as they try to take pictures, etc, etc, etc.

I will bite most of the time, and am more than happy to take them to school. Generally, in a street race, it's more about who blinks and gives up first.

I am about to put a deal together to add a CS. Absolutely brilliant driver's car. The character is very much like a modern interpretation of my old F40. I love driving them!

A data point I picked up from the latest E-class convertible is that the cd is .28 but with the top down it's .32 and .36 with the windshield header air foil engaged.

So a .04 increase in cd with the top down for that convertible.

top was up...what does that tell us?

It's faster that way. Just a data point for future reference. But whether or not the windows are down isn't specified.
