Thats old. SW's 6speed street supra went 246 mph several months ago. Still a quick time for that Porsche though its just not the overall speed record.

I thought this was a new one as I saw it just recently on the Super Cars exposed.

Also, is the Supra considered a "street car" ?

That very car _right there_ is why I sold my old race car.

I watched a vid of it driving to the track changing tires and running a low nine second pass at a crazy MPH.

I then sold my car and started looking for a supra... too bad the new house got in the way..and the economy is ****

He is one of the nicest most down to earth guys you'll ever meet. Yes his car collection is down right stupid.
