Review
As most of you know, I like Toyotas. They hold a special
place in my
heart. That being said, this is a car I didn't really
like! It is one of
the most difficult cars to drive. With almost (and
in some models over)
900 horsepower, and all that power trasmitted to
only the rear wheels,
it's nuts. I don't really know how else to explain
it. There is so much
power going to the rear end you MUST be awake the
entire time while
driving this machine. Get into a corner sideways,
blip the throttle 2 or
3 times, get on the brakes, sideways, countersteer,
oversteer, sideways,
countersteer......BANG, right in the wall. I love
Supras, but this thing
is only good for doubling as a cruise missile. I
played wth the camber so
I could steer this monster. It helped, but its still
too much power going
to the rear wheels.
I'm of the opinion that this is too much power for
the chassis /
drivetrain setup. It's still an awesome car with
ONLY 632 hp. When I
tested this beast in the GT Cup, I pulled back to
the power to the Spec 3
turbo & it still was a handful. I tried it with
the 900 too and didn't
fair much better. This Supra runs right up to 200
mph with no problems at
all in either form and the brakes can barely haul
this thing down to a
stop...especially straight! Trying to keep this thing
in a straight line
is a lot of fun too when you add in the equation
of "turbo-lag."
If a corner is designed to be handled at 70 mph, then
having a car that
gets you into that corner going 120 isn't going to
make you faster. It'll
just make you crash. This is that car. I then tried
to come into the
corner slower & accelerate out of it. Nope. Sideways
in a blink of an eye
when the turbo spooled up.
I had the same lap times (within 0.5 - 1 seconds)
with the 900 hp as I
did with the 632 hp car. I love speed, but speed
still kills & this thing
should be locked up in a cage unless you're trained
to handle assault
weapons.
The best way to sum this up is this: Most people like
dogs. Most people
love to pet, walk & play with dogs. If this were
a dog it would be a pit
bull. This thing definitely bites & is not for
most people, but there are
those who love both this car & the aforementioned
dog...not I.
