"thast the fastest car i haev ever been in"
its a good feeling when eople look at you and your car with some skepticism and then you offer them a ride and they laugh and agree then show them what a 1.3liter rotary what a t78 is all about and then look at them white in teh face and handle firmly gripping the passenger door handle(which you must ask them not to break off) and just smile. what a great feeling... how many of you single turbos get that?

I usually just keep it at 15 psi and give them a quick 1st gear roll to 3rd gear redline run.
It is kind of funny watching them reach for interior trim pieces and bracing their legs in my peripheral vision.

They look at it this way, that 95% of 1st gens are slower than ****, and they expect the same LOL I love it, but hope someone doesnt break my door assist grip LOL

I drove in a 10sec auto supra. the fact that it is an auto makes it feel so much faster. Clean, strong powerband.
Then I drove in Tony (t and r racing) car. This was right after we went 10.1. He punched the car in 3rd and 4th and ran 4th gear to about 7500!. I **** myself!!! What a difference in both cars.
Check out this in car view of the bullish racing supra...i thought this was one of the best in car videos on the 1/4 mile..

I can top you all with my ride in the single turbo 3 rotor that Peter Farrell built for Kevin Roberts back in the late 90's. **** *** fast. I think at 7 psi around his shop, the exhaust gas energy spooled the turbo up fast, no lag or what I thought was no lag. Not sure what turbo it was but I think it was in the 500 RWHP range and 425 ftlbs. That was the fastest car I've ridden in....period.

That's why I dropped my subscription to SCC and Super Street...
Some people just don't see the ability of these engines.
Back to the subject, I can't wait to have my single turbo install complete. I hope to get the reaction that many of you have gotten with your cars.
