Ben's right? I wonder if Brads (White also,CF hood, CF rear diffuser, red varianzas) is running 9's yet....nyuck,nyuck,nyuck.
I love Supras but its an old joke that they cant break the 12's cuz it takes them 1000ft to spool up.
My buddy has a white Supra that runs 9's
Oh do you know Tony? Silver single turbo Stang I think... he used to be SC might still be but its fast as hell
Ben use to be in the Z crowd too like Phil & I

I laughed all the way through this thread - ya'll are nuts! :lol:
I worked with a guy who did the drifter thing, I think he mighta been in that DVD you mentioned Donkey.
Now ya'll can laugh at me, my favorite car was a Pinto, '76 I think. I know, I know. But, it had a great suspension and I had a bad habit of going far too fast on roads that were far too hilly. It started with little wheelies when I crested the hill. Then a guy friend foolishly said my driving couldn't scare him - I think he soiled himself when we went full airborn.
It really sucked when the bearings went bad on it, it was never the same after that.

No, seriously. I remember it had a suspension that was used in a racecar with rack and pinion steering. It really was a great little car.
I had a '68 Valiant prior to it and that tank was a solid steel beheamouth. Good thing too, it went airborn with a couple of twists and rolls. Fractured my back, my left cheekbone and bruised the bones in both my legs - pre seatbelt days. I think I was going about 90 at the time.
And my Pinto could and did beat other "better" cars - I really miss driving fast, I have a minivan now... sigh. Like Pat said - Kids.

Brad & Tony both tease me saying I lost control but heres the real story
Was on a late night run through the twisties with some Z/G guys and this was the second day I had it since buying it new so I was in the back of the pack with only one other guy behind me sine his car was new too, but we were driving pretty conservatively
I dont remember anything from about an hour before to an hour after the accident but guy behind me said that we were going around a sharp blind corner and an Accord was going way too fast towards us and was using both lanes to compensate so I barely managed to avoid a headon collision by swerving out of the way, but the road being as narrow as it was I managed to make it back on the road for a little while before fish tailing and flipping her a good 150ft

Oh **** Thai! I never knew that!!! And I thought we were best friends...er!
I've had a friend flip her 180sx on some twisties. She took a turn (hairpin) too sharp, kicked the dirt, started spinning, flew into a ditch, back onto the road, then into another ditch. Took out a telephone pole, rolled 3-4 times, and landed on her roof. Her car was slightly modded, but no roll cage. And I was behind her the whole time screaming my head off.
She managed to get out of the car safely, with no bruises nor scratches, truly a miracle. And she had a regular 'ole safety belt, not even a bucket/aftermarket seat.
