So after watching that, can you agree that a Turbo is not a twin screw?
Exactly. Gotta agree with BigPig on the LFA I like the look and sound, but just way better options out there for the money.

This gets my vote. I put almost 90k miles on mine, tranny held up fine, and it wasn't stock....blow the doors off a C7 or a nitrous Stang, and it held its own against a crotch rocket or two. I could break all 4 tires loose at 40 mph if I wasn't careful. that’s what I’m taking about

Exactly. Gotta agree with BigPig on the LFA I like the look and sound, but just way better options out there for the money. If you bought one new in 2010, it would of run 380k. You could turn around and sell it now for 550-600k. If you pulled up to a cars and coffee meet people would notice. It's rare, performes great, beautiful, and the best sounding car I've ever heard. Clearly from the price tag I was joking, but I dont think bigpig knows what he's talking about.

My buddy used to have one it was quick and he took me on a couple of rides on the twisties. Talk about butt hole puckering lol.

That was probably one of the quickest cars I’ve driven, thing would break them loose going 30 if you downshifted right. The other one that was fast was a ford lightning, not sure all of the mods but I know his motor was in South Carolina for a couple months getting punched out. It didn’t have enough weight in the back to hook though.
The real champ is my 1 ton ford, I roast ricers on a weekly basis

Holy chet, the most scared I've ever been in a car. The owner of the track was trying to sell a supra so I went up there. We got to talking cars, he said he has a miata, and asked if I wanted to go for a ride.... those things hook in corners. From that day on I had a new respect for miatas.

I'm surprised this car has not been mentioned...2017 Chevy SS (6.2L w/ and LS3 motor). Four door sedan sleeper. Can be had for < $50K. I know one THF member that has one.
I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.

It’s only expensive because it took them over 10 years to develop and release it and during that time, it neared completion then they went back and made every part out of CF because that was the hot thing in super cars. The motor is grossly underpowered to be considered a super car and demand the asking price. Like I said, they messed up on that car. Is it a good car? Sure. Is it a super car like they were trying to build? No

1966 Chevelle SS 396, 4 on floor. Would burn rubber shifting from 3rd to 4th at 70. I am probably one of the few on here that has driven one. Maybe Buzz if he was lucky.
And....give me an F for reading comprehension.

Baby GTR sedan You did not just call that a “Baby GTR Sedan” its a dressed up Maxima I was a tad tipsy last night and Maybe a little over exaggerating lol. But in Japan the G35’s which was the predecessor to the Q50 was a skyline which is what the GTR was based on sooooo in a around about way my Q50 is a baby GTR sedan lol.

Twin turbo 2jz Supra, or a gtr, only other consideration would be a twin turbo built rx7 but I don’t think I could do it with $50k. Get rid of the twins on the 2jzgte go big single, I swapped a 2jzgte into my 87 supra for 9k. I did all the work myself, even the wiring. I've got something you might like in my garage! Vehicle of course... What you got brother? Left you hanging didn't he

That was one bada$$ car, drove one, along with GTO's, Super Bees, Chargers, and a few others.
