Just find it hypocritical that politicians say that "we're average Americans too, we have to pay for gas as well, we drive the same cars you do, etc...", while trying to shove higher and higher CAFE mandated mileage on manufacturers... I'm all for getting better mileage as technology allows, but...

Becoming a Supra owner is easy. Staying a Supra owner takes a lot of dedication, time, and money. To answer your question about mileage, it really all depends on how heavy your right foot is. With the three I've had, across 4 motors, I average about 17-21mpg, NA or turbo, auto and manual...

Not familiar with this idea, anybody know what this means? Oh, and an SRT running 6.90 is pretty damned quick... Well, for reference, here's TKMK3's 10.67 @ 13x, had a hell of a launch too:

Three foot it. ;) Works for me, and should work for you provided your clutch can take some abuse... Clutch in, first gear, heel of right foot on brake pedal (hard), toes on the gas, build rpms around where you want to launch, start letting out clutch slowly. Should build a bit of positive...

Wow, you Canadians are getting screwed even harder than we are... not that I'm complaining, short of wearing a turban and moving to the opposite side of the world, I think the US has the lowest gas prices in the world. Isn't the Canadian dollar worth more than the USD though?

Heh, that's pretty funny about the dyno being 'broken'. I did notice you had the stock exhaust on there. Stock y-pipe is a bit of a restriction though, just like the CT26 elbow... You would have likely leveled out your hp/tq figures with at least that much. I still wish the dyno at the last...

Me too man. I figure there's a lot less red tape involved too. All a private company would have to do to cover their ass is make people sign waivers to avoid issues... That and I have more faith in the private sector to tell the truth about their findings and happenings.

What sort of wheel and tire setup are you going with? I'd be surprised if you don't hit high 10's with a good launch...

I have a hard time being angry at high energy prices, being a supplier for the industry, but at the same time, I'd be a lot less angry if gas was at a reasonable post-Bush, pre-Obama-insanity rate. Never asked, but I didn't know you had your own plane... private pilot? I'll be the first to...

^ Wait, a 1j that put out more torque than horsepower? Strange... Tanya, what was it you were saying would happen if you ever saw that???

This makes me sad too, we discontinue funding for NASA to pay for more wars, entitlement programs, and other domestic BS... Granted, I'll be the first to say that while I love exploration and adventure, I *never* expected NASA to ever really accomplish anything all that meaningful. That said, I...

That answers my question, thank you sir. Otherwise, I've looked into the PS+ thing, I understand it's quirks other than that one. Thanks again. :)

You classy motherfucker... :p

Dunckel nailed it. The roads here tend to be covered in a thin layer of dirt/sand/diesel soot/whatever, and I went to turn left and go into my proper lane (usually go into the far lane simply because my turn is off the right lane anyway), but this time... anyway, the intersection has a crest at...

Hey that's how I roll baby... that said, I have a pretty nicely ported head, otherwise I wouldn't bother asking. This is all hypothetical, of course.

Nice setup, but this guy makes a good point. Friend of mine from back in the day played an April fools joke on our boss, told him he couldn't come in, that his wife left him and that he was a wreck, blah blah blah... well, about a year later it actually happened. :nono: That said, unplug her...

Would be curious to know what that does for things, please update when you can? I usually cruise around town in 3rd, but we have ~35mph limits most places around here. That said, raise your hand if you bought your car for the mileage...

Going by the thread title, it sounds like you're wanting to tint the lenses somehow... If that's the case, remember that while it may look cool, *other* people may not notice you as easily, and when cars aren't seen, they tend to be involved in accidents. Can't tell you how many tards around...

My mistake. Even more impressive if it's that heavy... then again those tires can't be light.

Well, I read on the Escapist that everybody gets PSN+ for 30 days, but haven't heard much else. Does anyone know if by signing up for Plus you get all of the free games that they've offered, or is it only the ones they offered for free since you sign up?
