Hey Mr Matt, in that video your racing a BPU Automatic supra. Not too fast.

Afterburn....all i have to say is that your best time is my best time at mid boost. I ran an 11.6 at 21 psi with a bad third gear syncro and an automatic rear end that hampered my performance. When i ran you, my car was untuned at wastegate and you only beat me by a fender length because you have a great launch thanks to your all wheel drive. So basically, at my ever worst, you beat me by a fender length at your best. Now that i have my car tuned, new tranny and 6 speed rear end and a set of drag radials(Since i ran you with street tires), you can bet im gonna try to race you next time so enjoy your shallow victory while you can. By the way Afterburn, you said you are freinds with Pete... stop talking shit about his car and his driving and where the hell did you get that 35K figure and that 685hp number? You must be smoking some good hashish.

Ok, for everyone else. Just because a car has high horse power, does that make it a Dyno Queen? So i guess that means that a Mustang or Camaro or Viper or any other car that weighs as much as a supra with 600+ Hp is a dyno queen too. Supras are dyno queens...hummm. So i guess if i was going down the street in my 680 hp supra and i pulled next to an R1 Bike......theres no way i would be able to beat it according to some of you supra bashing people??? Wow what a coinsidence...i have won against an R1 and a TL1000 and a gsxr1000r geez i guess all those videos on the internet are all fake since a dyno queen can only put power on a dyno....pleeze.....Wait...... i almost forgot....true hp can only be measured on a 1/4 mile track....sorry.....i also forgot .....if your car doesnt do great times on the track than it doesnt count as beeing a fast car according to people who do not own a high hp car. Simple minds.....
Hey Man............cool it. What are u getting so worked up about?? I never denied the fact that your car is good. I never said it is slow. Go read my post again. It's my personal opinion about Supras in general....not aimed at you in any way. And when did I brag about beating you?? Just said that I might have raced you. Haven't even mentioned about winning or losing. You did !! But since you brought it up..........I'll refresh your memory. We had a talk before we raced. You told me that you were not running race gas plus no drag slicks/no nos & that you had synchro problems. Now I thought that would be good race cuz at the time I was running 12's & your 10 sec car was on low boost plus all the other problems it had. Anyways when we did line up & race............... I hooked & u didn't......lemme remind you why...it was cuz the light turned directly to green (it was club 1320 night.......Doh!!). Surprisingly U were not aware of that!! If u'd have spent more time at the track.maybe u would have!! Oh well............u talk about being behind by a fender.....I had crossed the 60 foot mark even before u moved. U later told me that you were waiting for yellow lights to start up. Now who's on Hashish ??? I am not here to be rude to you....U are the one who started it now. Anyways..........If you remember correctly........U know u ran a 13.1 on that run cuz u cudn't get into 3rd & I ran a 12.3. So if you still call that a fender...........that's one hellava big fender. I don't remember seeing your car anywhere near mine. Man....I didn't even consider that a victory. I asked you to race cuz I thought it would be a good one. I was not even in the 11's at the time. About Pete.........I saw Angel run 10's in his car & that's it. Oh well.............I was never gloating over any victory & nor am I now.......so cool it a bit !! No point being bitter about stuff like this. i respect your car for what it's worth. people say a whole lotta shit about DSM's but that does not mean that that they are saying that about my car. this is exactly what I wrote in my post:

Where did I ever say that I beat you or put you or your car down in any way. U need to take it easy. Have a nice day!!
