Don't know about a Toyota SE-R, but I believe there is a Nissan SE-R. :^)



Bottom line?  In a standing quarter mile sprint you're gonna lose.

Got in an argument with a guy in email one time. Finally told him that he might

beat my car *to* the turns, but I'll sure as hell beat him *through* it.

Surprised an Eagle Talon one day. He wanted to play on a back road here. Ran

away from me in the straights. As soon as he was in the twisties I would be up

on his bumper. And this was on the stock Bridgesucks. Wonder how the D60s would

have been....
