Letter Of The Month
So I just got finished reading the latest issue of your fine magazine, and was simply blown away by the cover story. I mean, a V-12 Supra?! I didn't even know Toyota had the balls to make an engine that amazing. You gotta understand, the only Toyotas I know of are that small economic piece of crap called Corolla or that puto car driven by putos who care about the earth called Prius.
So imagine how wet I got when I saw this gem on the cover. Let's just say I swiped my mom's box of tampons to stop myself from leaving a trail like a puto snail.
Plus, what's up your models lately? They're getting hotter than hell. Let's just say my supply of ID Glide personal lubricant is running low 'cuz I've been slipping the sausage into my hairy hands more than I care to in a month. I mean, they're way better than whatever puta monkey they put on Import Tuner's cover. Is that model a girl or a man?

Food for thought:
It would take three of your puto 4AGs combined to equal the cylinders in the Top Secret Supra. Come to think of it, Tres Putos Supra has a nice Taco Bell-like ring to it.
This month's lucky winner swagged himself a set of Evolve wheels from Kyowa Designs (www.kyowadesigns.com).

How exactly can you ban racecars from Time Attack in an Unlimited class when most racecars compete in a class with rules that limit the amount of modifications, weight, tires, fuel, etc? I hate to come out and sound like I am defending the GMG Porsche, but honestly, their racecar is a more mild car than many of the other cars that compete at Time Attacks. It just seems like a few people might be afraid of them.
Would you allow the carbon fiber-bodied HKS TRB-02 to compete in Time Attack? That car is a much more radical car than those at any of the Time Attacks. Even the C-West carbon-bodied S2000 would not be legal for most race classes.
The GMG car isn't fast just because it's set up as a racecar, but also because of the driver. If you ban racecars, then perhaps you should also ban professional racecar drivers.
Seriously though, Eric challenging them to a one-lap battle for $1,000 was a joke. In the world of $1,500 entry fees, $30,000 engine rebuilds, $800 weekend fuel costs and $2,000 weekend tire costs, $1,000 might as well be a dollar. I'm sure that $10,000 might have perked James's interest a little.
The Porsche is naturally aspirated, on Toyo RA1 DOT tires and has a H-pattern gearbox. The XS R32 was on a 305 R compound tire, with 600-800 hp, Hollinger sequential transmission and a professional driver and it was still not as fast as the Porsche.
The Time Attacks have always been a fun, mellow event to go to. Not too high pressure-just a good time. Let Unlimited Class stand as it stands; an unlimited class. Wouldn't it be more of an accomplishment for someone's tuner car to be faster than a racecar?

It's safe to say no Super Street staffer will ever sit on the FIA board of rules and regulations. That, and we're sore losers.

I would like to know why you would make fun of someone's car like you did mine in the April issue of Readers' Rides. If you didn't like it, you should not have used the pic of it. Hell, you got the state and city wrong for one, then you put it down like it was a piece of trash. Well, I'm sorry I'm not rich and have $100,000 to put into my car. I will be looking into the court system because that was degrading to me and everything I have done to my car. I know plenty of lawyers that would back me so I hope you will fix this. I have been reading your magazine for years so how can you do this to me? It had always been a dream of mine to be featured in your magazine. Not any other, but yours. I worked hard on my '99 Ford Escort ZX2 and then you clowned me like that. I hope you have some regrets over this and can find some way of correcting it. Well, I hope to hear from you about this soon and if not, I guess I'll take it to the next level.

Cue sad music: wa-wa-wa.
I get out soon and I'll be around at every car event you guys throw. I'll be the guy with the hot wire and the RX-7 drifting my way into your pages. Keep up the great work and hold a job for me a Super Street.
