Speaking of Virginia plates and Supras, one flew past me in Orlando Saturday --- the Virginia plates said "1000 HP". It was white and looked like typical rice (right out of GT3 or GT4 games). I'm sure it was twin-turbo'd and all that. I just didn't feel like seeing what he really had -- besides, traffic was too heavy for playing.

No offense intended, just relaying what I hear, which I in turn do agree with.

I just love Corvettes and fellow vette owners!

The Supras can be modded to handle a ton of HP. Maybe his is a C5 eater.

Supras RULE! Theres a reason I have a C5 now though
Btw, who cares if vette is an american car? You have to give car its respect regardless of who made it. No offense to anyone in here. I would've bought the vette even if it was made in Australia.

I heard or read somewhere that Supras are the easiest and cheapest cars to get 900 hp out of. I still prefer the Vette. But 900 hp in an old toyota!!! . . . D@mn! 
That would eat most Vettes I know of!

Reminds me of the ricers saying how the C5 sucks but always compares their favorite vehicles to it...
