yeah those are nasty.
thats what i usually drive on need for speed hot pursuit 2 for xbox.
hahaha
but you could buy about 100 nasty toyotas for that price. it'd be fun to drive that thing once or twice though. soooo fast. imagine racing some honda ricer out of a light with that thing. seee ya.

those saleen s7's are awesome. they have such tremendous down force that they can drive through a tunnel, upside down and not fall, as long as it stays above 160 mph...now the trick is getting up there

its not hard to figure out (just for those that dont see the obvious) they put F1 cars in a wind tunnel and plot the weight of the car vs air speed as the downforce increases, i think when F1 cars get above like 80mph they are exerting more than the weight of the car in downforce, so theoretically they could drive upside down

Did the 3.0 EVER cut it?
so what if you can accelerate to 60 a couple seconds faster than me. id rather have all the money you save buying a 2nd gen vs a newer one. thats like free suspension, tires, and gears at LEAST. who wants to take a brand new truck and bash the crap out of it on the trail, crazyness IMO
ok ill stop ranting now, this thread was a joke. no offense to the 3rd gen + crowd, if it says TOYOTA on the back, its a winner baby

Actually it's not the lack of power that I mind. It's the lack of gas mileage. Oh, and also the weak headgasket and injector noise. If it got 20mpg in the city I wouldn't even have bought my pickup.

well its all relative, i know people that have put 100,000 miles on 3 and 4 year old cars. i still think of the 3rd gen as fairly new, just cause i got my 2nd gen when THEY were new trucks. i cant believe my runner is almost 10 YEARS OLD already :cry:
