Alot of people where suprised but it's not really a hard choose. After owning vettes, stealth, f-bodies, and two other p-cars and also driving about everything in between the 996tt is a superior car.

u sure that supra is 500whp? i figured it would be more than that since it ran very strong against that cobra and you. maybe thats why theyare so deadly from a roll
since Rx7's are alot lighter than the C6 Z06, and your keepin up with 600whp cobra which pull on stock Z06s which dyno 450whp 3100lbs, i would say your not at 500whp but in the higher 400s... 470ish range. cuz a 500whp C6 Z06 has gone 130-131mph in the 1/4, and your probly near that. ur lighter so it have to be 470ish.
very stout numbers

I racd that Cobra again the other night from a 80 roll and got him bad. I'm sure I have at least 500wheel. I easilly keep up with the low 130 trap cars around here.

tell me one car with 500rwhp that traps over 130 besides an fd? are u talking z06? cause i have seen a few and driven 500rwhp c5s z06s and they trap mid high 120s.

several cam sprayed ls1's making 500-550 are around 130mph. and if you cant get a C5 vette/Z06 with 500whp near 130 then something is wrong.... they trap 116-117 stock with 370whp.... 500-550 will be violent. c6 z06 is about similar weight to the C5 z06 and runs 125-127 super well driven with 450whp....
