I am intrigued by the supercar that isn't a supercar as well, do tell!

LOL, it's a 3litre twin turbo Toyota Supra, they're probably considered a bit chavy now (because of imports) but I bought it from a mate when it was 4 yrs old and he had it from new, it's a UK spec.
6 Speed manual Getrag Gearbox and pretty much stock with a few minor mods.
0-60 in 4.9 seconds and a top speed of 168 mph, at the moment it's probably running at around 360 BHP.

Can't imagine ever selling it as it's 'as new' now having replaced anything worn or tired and it became a weekend toy after using it for many years on a daily basis  :)

Bloody hell  :P Whatever sub 5 second 0-60 performance is classed as in your mind, admit that it's fairly quick  ;)

I'll now strip naked and go outside and whip myself with a tree branch for mentioning 'supercar performance'  :))
