Got beat by a Supra!!!

[King Snake]

I was cruising down the road yesterday and saw some kind of import sports car coming up from behind. I could not tell what kind it was. My first thought was "so you want some of this?". He nodded as he passed and proceeded towards the red light were he waited. When the light turned green, he eased forward and waited for me to arrive. It was at that time that I noticed he was driving a late model ('97??) Supra Turbo. I was in third gear at about 2200 RPM. When I caught up with him he jumped on it. I mashed the gas without downshifting (mistake) as I watched him creap ahead of me. Even as my RPMs got up around 4-5k, he was still pulling away!!! This really surprised me. It bothered me all day until I got home and pulled out a Car and Driver mag and found that his car in stock form runs the 1/4 mile in 13.6! 0-60 MPH in 5.6! I really had no idea those things were so fast. He probably had his revs right where he wanted them just waiting to jump. But no excuses - he beat me. So those of you with unmodified or slightly modified Cobras, be careful with those Supra Turbos!!
