Many high horse power slippery cars have attacked the texas mile none have eclipsed SW's Supra. The next car to better the record will be SW Supra or his Gallardo

I always laugh when guys say stuff like...

"This car was dyno'd at 1032rwhp and has more room left in it. "

OR

"10.9s @144mph on Mid-Boost and there is still a lot more room left in it as well."

Dynos and 1/4mile times are for testing a builds true performance. Why would you leave anything on the table????
Those are very impressive numbers, but it is what it is. Once you head down the track or strap her to a dyno you have your numbers.

I took an IQ test last week and scored a 120, but I really wasn't trying....lol.
