You aren't comparing apples to apples though with an AWD car vs a RWD car at that power level. So yes, the TTG's do well, but they have a huge advantage in the traction dept. And I also know you're messing me because I know you're smart enough to know that One could argue 3.0L vs 5.0L, Supra owning the mile and the 1/4mile, etc etc but we won't go there Supras will always own the Gallardos at the drag strip and we've yet to see if a TTG will ever rule the Mile! I'm not sure if I'm more impressed with a TTG over a Supra with what they are both capable of, but I know I like the idea of a lot of power and AWD so at some point I'll do a TTG. I just got engaged, bought the Fiance a Range (along with her Rock), and am paying for a wedding so it'll have to be next year before I think about doing a TTG... Damn women... oh well...

SW said chances are slim to run the car at the mile and it's not worth traveling 3000 miles on a whim. I'd have to know FOR SURE we have a spot to run and I have to know soon to make plans to go. John Reed was working on helping but we still don't know if there's a guaranteed spot.

 

LOL. You caught me! I am just messing w/ you!

Congrats on getting engaged. I'll see what I can do about getting you a guaranteed spot so you're not driving all that way w/ just a hope.

So you told SW you had a Supra capable of 240+ and he said "chances are slim to run it, might want to stay home"? Hmmmm. lol. I'm just messing w/ you again!

 

Thanks I picked a good one. She doesn't care what toys I buy as long as there's still food on the table

Ya I told SW and he's the only one that says ya no chance leave it at home... lol. Hmm maybe he wants to keep all chances of remaining the Supra King at the mile

If you can get me a spot please let me know asap!

 

Slow where? how? I'm pretty sure i'll walk right past your 205mph mile pull bub.

As far as breaking,.... that all depends on user. We've all broken different things... it happens.

 

Gonna go ahead and quote myself.... just to let you know this isn't a typo.

 

You gonna be at the Tx Mile next month?

 

Wait a minute you must be lying, I was told by the expert on this subject that no powerful RWD car, especially not an LSX based one could hang with a TT G from a roll on the street....

 

Both fine automobiles

 

 

I have been around some of those 200+ cars at the Texas Mile, and at the end of the day it seems that there are so many factors that would make one champion over the other.

Supras as far as I know have done exceptionally well, i.e. Autobahn, and have taken down records, but looking at the up and coming Porsche, Lambos and GTR's, it seems that the Supra reign in "street legal" form will fall. In terms of Corvettes, they just break too often with power.

In terms of longevity and 200+ Porsche Rules!

Just my two cents.

 

Hey Bub ...When have you even ran the standing mile? <<< rhetorical

 

That's cute. We just thought you had A.D.D.

 

i put my money on hllywood to spank that a$$

 

I don't know. Not sure if I have enough to overcome those cool cut-outs in his hood.

 

lol..... isn't that the typical idea? euro cars are better? lol. It'd be kinda cool if american people stopped blowing all these imports,...and start loving whats born and bred in there hometowns... country. Go figure right?

Very true. You have to give anything respect. FOr example,... the 4 cylinder celica down here in florida,,.... doing 209mph...... 900wheel horsepower... pretty sick. Anything at this speed capability, is wicked.


Spoken from a true porsche owner.



october 12th, January 3rd, march, and april. Are the dates of our mile events.
I'm pretty sure i've got more top speed runs then you could dream about, as I have mustered up quite a bit of speed runs, unoffically ofcourse but,... plenty of video to prove it,... juct no need to post such a thing in the internet. No need to disclose my testing grounds, as we've already done the jail thing. This is south florida,....land of the flat and straight roads. No need to say more about that.

And in that aspect,.... I'm very fluid in what I do and say.... not going to open my mouth,.... unless I know what the F i'm talking about, sport. Many years, and many corvette mods later,...I know what I am doing spark plug. So... have I ever ran MY car at the mile?... nope. I'm always waiting on parts. **** happens but... soon. I've done plenty of homework,... I'll end up with about 300rwhp more then the current record holding Corvette, which is 215mph. In theory,... orcourse

I probably do have ADD....how do you test for such a thing? Wanna go ride bikes? Light bulb,... blank blank, dash, dash.

but,...

lets not get off topic of me crushing your 205(and change)mph barrier brick wall.

Thats cute. Cheerleaders,....all the way from greece. Lovely. Do your pom pom's match his car?
