You out-pedanted a pedant. I like you. Take your star.

I’d say it’s also a case of having a car way faster than everybody else’s.

Well, I mean, I don’t know if 100 people could really be considered a “crazy” amount.

Yeah, depending on how well it was strapped down, it’d either burn the tires off or go flying off the dyno.

The awe for MKIV Supras is generally reserved for people who spent their Saturday nights milling around parking lots in the early 2000's.

Magazines always tested red ones.  Adolescent supra-wanting,spec memorizing, me would take one in red for peak nostalgia.

I live near where these were built and would see them driving around from time to time. In person they look like really high end golf carts, and they stickered at $40k.

The problem you’re overlooking: Parts.

Yeah... 168hp isn’t really news worthy in the bike world anymore... but 163 ft-lbs? Wow.

Also weight distribution and aero/styling. If you build a short car with a long engine, you have to hang the engine out past the front tires. It’ll be more front heavy and have a taller nose than it would if you pushed the engine back into the car more.

Yeah... It’d be way cooler if they they just gave the Singer treatment to original Typhoons.  Modern brakes/suspension/transmission... an interior that’s not so 80's GM, etc.

“Hey guys, whatcha’ talking about?”

They caught that afroduck guy for speeding by going back through street cameras months after the fact.

Mercedes owner is as good as arrested... They caught that Afroduck guy for speeding around NYC when he posted a video months after doing it.

Agreed... From a spectator standpoint, there needs to be a sense of theater to motorsport. Without a lot of noise, it just isn’t there.

My first thought as well... The one in Mad Max was a ‘75.

“Officer, I’m so fucking high right now don’t even know my own name, much less where I am!  Wait...”

I heard elsewhere there’s similar thefts in other states... These guys aren’t locals, there’s no serial numbers on the rims, and selling 3 of those 31 sets would clear more than the back of the napkin scrap value of the whole lot.

About 75% of NASCAR viewership is in it to see “the big one”.... How else are you going to have the possibility of a massive pile up in a qualifying round?

New Tahoe “OEM takeoffs” on Ebay with tires mounted and balanced will easily pull $700+ a set.
