Why, does it do 0-60 in three seconds or less, if not your behind by the first corner, you need to explain your logic or previous experiences that lead to your conclusion. I am not bothered really, I have my own minor delusions and we all do, our opinions of ourselves arent based on how others see us, same goes for cars !
I raced an LS400 in my T5, dead heat to about eighty, both cars however are only good for Roman type Roads.
Is there something you are not telling us ?

You ain't gonna like this...
My challenge is simple... we both start in Newbury---> Bournemouth---> Exeter---> Bristol---> Chester---> Skegness---> QE2 Bridge---> Brighton---> Portsmouth---> Newbury.
All non-stop (except for fuel) you on any bike you like... me in me Soarer...even if I let you start in Bournemouth, I'll be home before you hit Pompey... You can have a radical if you want... it'll make no difference...
So there is the challenge take it or shut-up.

Fatigue is the big problem... ever ridden mixed roads for a few hours flat out?... not 1 or 2 hours but 10+?.
Bikes are just for a quick 'jack-off' moment, they are useless for anything else.

Mycroft, does the TT come with all the toys of the V8?
Which model comes with everything?
I love the idea of having a luxurious coupe, filled with toys-a-plenty, astounding performace, cheap layout for the car itself and still has serious reliability for daily driving.
Oh, and is still tuneable!

Buy the MINES 'head-up' unit for the V8... and a bit of intake and exhaust manipulation... 7400rpm V8 4ltr... 340hp at 6700rpm... Supra 4 pot barakes at the front, new Bushes on the front arms and steering...
Good V8 'K/L'reg £4.5k-£5k... all those Mods £3.5k-4k... £8/9k gets you... 175mph... 5.5 sec 0-60... reversing camera, leather, auto everything... get the picture?
To put that in perspective... such a car would eat a Standard Supra TT and spit out the bits... and out corner it...
And if you want to spend £13k (in total inc all the above) then you can have a Supercharged version instead...
Faster than an XKR...

You have an **** problem (apart from not being able to spell it), all that ranting about Gays on the Lancer Register and now you are messing (treading ?) with Diablo Owners *****, how do you know they own a Diablo ?, some men will tell you anything when they want their ***** treading on.
I can sort of sympathise, I got flamed when I happened to mention on hear that I had a dice with a Diablo, it happened, it was good fun but I dont think for one minute that my car will live with a 550 BHP Italian monster, did the enfine not have a slight similarity to a a flat four VW engine by any chance.

Whats a "****-kicker" ?
An Americanism and I think it means common, as is Trailer Trash which I have also seen you use, you must be of incredbly high breeding with enormous wealth to cast these generalisations about, sir I doff my cap to thee and promise it wont happen again, begging your pardon.
I can spell and it is spelt ****, its best not to spell things how they sound to you as you may understand it but others will not.
Pal ? oo er, thats what people call you when spoiling for a fight, best quit whilst I am a "Hed"
