And how long does it take to get to that? Gearing, gearing, gearing, gearing. Sure it has a ton of power, and it will accelerate at a good pace, but when it comes down to it, I'd rather have a car that can go around a track fast than only catch up on the straights... the very long straights.

Despite that^ I love Supra's, and I wouldn't kick one out of my garage as long as it didn't have a fart can.

Will Toyota finally get their heads out of their collective a$$es and finally make another Supra? It's not like people don't just flip out over them... I'd just like to see a new car for people to flip out over, I always thought this one was ugly, and Top Secret's makeover isn't helping things at all.

I also think this will be funny to add to the rep of the Supra considering they never had a V12. Why don't they just stick to making the basis of the actual car better?

It's no secret - more displacement and more cylinders makes a better high performance engine! Duh. Should have kept the appearance secret, though.

I still think a twin turbo Ford GT in a similar state of tune would handily spank it.

this is friggin dumb, if you put a big enough engine, and enough mods on a pinto, it could do 200.

A Ford GT also costs over 100k more than the sticker on a new TT Supra. Not even worth comparing.

I love Supras, but that one is butt ugly. Nothing needs to be done to the body of a Supra. Just leave it alone and it's beautiful.
