That's the most ballin' ass car this website has ever seen.


Was the AMG "hammer" on the list? Or a G55?

I guess when you spout off the highest skidpad number ever recorded by a magazine then they'll pull .98g. And that's YOUR undeniable fact?

The reality is most magazines who tested the thing got closer to the .9-.93 range. The .98 was an exceptional number. Exceptional in that it happened once. Once.

Regardless, any pig can pull big Gs on a skidpad. What does that mean? It has little to do with overall handling ability and it certainly isn't a measure of "cool." It's a big, heavy, ugly lump with a motor that has lots of potential. I of course can call up some undeniable facts for big and heavy but ugly should just be comon sense.

An opinion everyone should have.

I could care less about the list. The fact that the Aston Martin Vanquish S made the list means the author couldn't have been a complete moron.

Yes, because it was recorded in a reputable magazine that it pulled .98 on the skidpad, it is an undeniable fact. Thats what an undeniable fact means. You can write to that magazine (and others) and complain all day long to them if you must. They made a .98... the car can do a .98. Not many "big heavy pigs" (3450lbs) can do that.

Now I didnt feel like spouting off every other handling attribute the first time, But there is no evidence that you have stating that supras cant handle. They handle brilliantly. How about 3rd place in the one lap of america? Beat out to a Hennessey 07 viper and a 996tt race car... I can live with that.

I dont know what other evidence I need to beat it in your thick head what a "cool" car they are. I accept supras have hardcore haters. If you are one, just say so. I just hope you can come up with a better reason for the hate than what you have offered so far.

you know what, ever since that srt snagged 5th, I have been completely impressed. I will never badmouth an srt after that performance.

also, the supra lost to the viper by 12 points! could have been 2nd place if they had pulled it together in the drag race comp... I guess all they are good for is handling...
