Impressive as that may be something tells me the only thing TACOMA about that car is the sticker.
Looks like they need a better chassis guy cause that thing is all over the place under power.

but yeah...that this is barely recognizable as a Tacoma anymore. I thought maybe you made a bad and figured since it said "Tacoma" that it was a Tacoma...then I saw it's highly modified body..but still an apparent bed with a cover. ugly ugly...and it neeeeds better suspension. Its alll over the place.

wow .. i must be getting old none of you know that vehicle?.... That's Rod Millen's Truck Held a record for the Pikes peak hill climb, or maybe still does, i don't keep up on that stuff. Its set up to run at high speeds on gravel, tarmac probably isn't going to be its best friend for traction.

I still miss the celica but the truck did do better times.

1000 hp doesn't do any good if you can't get it to the ground and control it. You could go to a local dealer and buy something, with less power, that would outperform that on a track.
Looks like a death machine.

Millen still held the unlimited record at pikes peak which was set in '94 in an AWD Celica but was broken in '07 but this was done after a portion has been paved which shaved 3 minutes off of Millen's time.

It may look unstable but its not. These guys are obviously professionals and i'm sure know a tad bit more than you do. Learning how to keep the rear end stable is part of driving car like that
