    Default Highway 1 Encounter - latest Gen supra, blue M3, Z06.

    I drove to Banff and back to Calgary today.
    Coming home, exiting Canmore after getting fuel, a latest get supra (black, CF front fenders, FMIC, exhaust) and a blue M3 (333hp version) came up behind me. Both cars were slammed on bronze rims with deep silver lips.

    The M3 didn't want to play, but the supra did. It sounds great too, but couldn't pull quite as hard as my Z.

    Anyone have any info on the supra?

    Augh, I don't know how I missed that! My gf was at church at noon, so I had to wait until after to leave anyway.

    I found a pic of the supra. Nice looking car.

    Much as I love your Z, G, considering he's pushing nearly double your HP, I don't think he was really trying.

    Weird, I wonder if he had it de-tuned for the cruise. I saw black smoke when he shifted, so it seemed like he was at WOT.

    Maybe he was just messing with me?? I'm going to PM him.

    The fact that you know he could have whooped you should be motivation enough!

    oh, we're bench roll racing now eh??!
    I think I'll just skip the cam and go straight to a procharger. 550whp/500tq in a 3100lb car should be not too far away from his supra. Oops, now I'm doing it.

    Supra's are awesome!

    I wouldn't want to face one on the roads. Especially when they're already rolling.
