    Seen that one before. Pretty cool. Was in a GT4 once that if you double clutched in 3rd you'd get wheel spin and shoot off when it found grip.

    Why did Toyota stop making the Supra?
    One of the very few Toyotas I'd actually buy.

    It didn't sell very well and the profit margin per-car was low. At the time they could sell more 4-Runners for more profit per vehicle.

    Something to do with collective emissions I think, where manufacturers have to have an average g/km figure for their cars or face fines (dunno who from)

    I'd say at that speed,it's probably the safer option not to go back into the driving lane

    How I would love to drop that heavily modified 2JZ-GTE engine from the Supra in the OP post into my 98 gs300 (that has the non-turbo version, the 2JZ-GE)

    I'd say he was building boost: pressing brake and accelerator at the same time.
