I'm 100% certain I would beat him at an autocross unless maybe there was a nat'l champ behind the wheel.
I'm 50% certain he would destroy me on a typical road course assuming he could drive (damn straights). As John said, 400hp in a split second is a big jump, and it would be incredibly difficult to handle.
And why do we think most Supras are dyno queens? Because they are! Huge power with a giant snail isn't drivable... They may be good at drag racing, but... eh... I won't go there
I think most of us are with you, it's an amazing looking car and the numbers are equally impressive. Unofortunately, good looks and huge power don't get you very far
