That's an awesome car.

Have you run the quarter mile in it? If not do you have any stories about races?

I really would not call this car a beast...There are quite a few cars out there that would simply put it to shame. It's a nice ride with enough get up and go to embarrass BMW E46 M3s, Corvette Z06, Mustang Cobras, Mitsubishi EVO, WRX STI, etc...BTW, I have raced all the aforementioned cars and handed them their asses but I would never even think of calling my car a beast. Heck, I would not even call my supra a beast and quite frankly, there is no way the lexus could keep up with it. I have seen real beasts with over 1000rwhp...Those are really scary...LOL I have not had a chance to take the lex to the track yet but I would imagine the car is probably running 12's.

You are very modest. It all depends what cars are being compared. In comparison to my stock gs4 it is a beast

your kidding right? in my street based book anythign that can embarrass that list of cars can get up in the beast categroy. Yea maybe you'll have a tough time with john force or kenny bernstein but thats a differnt categroy all together.

Thank you for the honor, LOL...seriously though, you guys should check out supraforums.com. They have some pretty insane cars over there...In fact, if you have a kill story about a stock mustang cobra, a BMW E46 M3 or some stock C5 corvette, it's not even worth posting unless you are trying to get flamed. These kills are considered too easy. On the other hand, twin turbo vettes, twin turbo vipers, twin Turbo Acura NSX, Blown mustangs, etc...are fun and can be real beasts that will give supras a run for their money.
