Oh yea, I forgot to mention...
I was rather annoyed that he was driving with his hi beams on after i beat him...
When i was taking pictures, i noticed that he didnt have a permit for the lot he was in, so i called it in :D

I wouldn't be too happy. What the hell do you expect? You are driving a $20,000 car, and he is driving a $2,000 car. For the performance per dollar spent, that supra is a damn good car. A more fair race is the BMW 328. You are rollin a 3.5liter german made engine with mods, while he is rollin a 3.0 liter non turbo (probably some mods, assuming from picture, and ballsy attempt to race a newer bmw.) so, if you put up this post to masterbate yourself, because you beat a car with a car that is above the competition, your aren't getting any help from me.

I don't think his point was to brag about how fast he was.

BTW, are those drums I see in the rear???

Got a point, though... A Focus revved at my Integra the other day but I didnt bother, why risk anybodies lives to see who's FASTER. Time to grow up...

MKIII n/a Supra... they're pretty slow. Well, even the Turbos are pretty slow unless modded.

MKIVs are the only REAL fast Supras out there.

Good kill thought, riceboys need to be beaten daily.

Actually, I'm driving a $9000 car, his is about $5000 (check edmunds). I've got a half liter on him, but note that i have a full size sedan that weighs 4500+lb, and hes got a coupe. My post wasnt to brag, it was to share a story. If you didnt like it, you can have your money back. :p

GIVE ME A BREAK! First, do just the slightest research before you post your senseless drivel. The BMW (a very nice car I might add, as a former 535 owner) holds it's value well but is most likely an early 90's example which puts it's value around $10k (not including extras). People see BMW or Mercedes and think $$$ regardless of the age of the vehicle. Secondly, the numb nut in the Supra probably spent significantly more than $2000 on rice-a-roni parts which have absolutely NOTHING to do with increasing performance, kinda kills that performance/dollar ratio. And your assumption of a 328 being a more comparable car would be equally incorrect. A 328 may not have as much power stock as flood's 735, but it sure weighs a lot less and most likely would provide equal acceleration to flood's 735. If you need further proof, there is this little equation which states F=m*a. If you need help understanding how it relates to this thread, then go to this web site.

But that's ok, in your haste to boost your post count waaaaay up there into double digits, you have shown us what your favorite past time is. Next time, give your right hand a break from slapping the purple headed yogurt pistol and try a spell checker on "masterbate". We look forward to your 4th post at AT.

On a more on-topic note, flood, which engine mod gave the most noticeable improvement?

The chip by far. It felt like i was driving a new car. I'd like to get a dinan chip, but this one has been pretty good, the dinan stuff just doesnt warrant the cost. the headers help a good bit at the top end of the rpm scale.
I'm somewhat dissapointed with the LSD tho. It does everything its supposed to... but in effect, i spin both tires instead of one. It helps when turning in the rain though (I live in seattle!). The suspension gives a noticably firmer ride than the standard.
The remus exhaust sounds sweet. You'd have to hear it to know what im talking about. Its like my car speaks german!
In no way is it a 'fart can'.
