i really doubt i'd be able to get my 6'4" ass in that thing, but it would be fun... just dont roll it..

10/26/2005 3:35:16 PM

I'd still rather have a cobra replica, but that thing does look awesome

i have my eye on another car at the moment, but this one will def be in my future

10/26/2005 3:45:25 PM

oh come on you slow fucks.....i know someone else thinks that thing looks just like the cartoon car picture (ya know, the one ol sparky dont like)

10/26/2005 4:28:37 PM

now i really see how toyota came up with the spyder name, it looks alot like this car especially the black one u have up there, put mine beside that carand people would think its the same car only newer model

interesting

10/26/2005 5:05:15 PM

I don't think anybody would mistake any toyota for a 550. That car, though maynot be recognized as a Porsche by too many people, still has a recognizable shape, they just don't know what it is, but I certainly don't think they'd associate it with a Toyota.

I'm not trying to talk crap, but the 550 is one beautiful car, on it's own...

I want one.

10/26/2005 6:15:36 PM

but a better view on it



mainly the hood and headlights

10/26/2005 6:20:30 PM

me likes teh silver

10/26/2005 8:47:40 PM

i like the performance numbers and the weight

10/26/2005 9:46:02 PM

Looks pretty unsafe. I'd at least want a roll bar or something.

Numbers are awesome for 160hp. I bet it gets decent gas mileage, apparently 28mpg.

I live my life a quarter mile at a time.

10/26/2005 9:50:44 PM

Top speed of 125....

10/26/2005 9:53:42 PM

whats the speed limit in the US?

10/26/2005 9:54:34 PM

is that a serious question

10/26/2005 9:55:33 PM

I never implied you should drive it that fast on the street did I?

And if that shit about the quarter mile had to do with my comment, then you're a dumbass. The only "performance numbers" you linked into this shit were acceleration numbers and top speed. I found them interesting enough to comment on.

10/26/2005 9:58:39 PM

you guys take this message board way too seriously


thats a quote from a movie


125 would feel like 200 in that little car


i know the national speed limit of the united states of america


i like the car for what it is



lighten up

[Lightening up]

10/26/2005 10:02:09 PM

lighten up

10/26/2005 10:03:20 PM

I still think the shit needs a roll bar though.

10/26/2005 10:04:02 PM

agreed

and wider tires

10/26/2005 10:05:05 PM

hmm, maybe in addition to the roll bar, something besides two point seat belts

10/26/2005 10:21:16 PM

5 pt harness is an option in the build your own section

10/26/2005 10:23:01 PM

ah, touche.

10/26/2005 10:32:04 PM

yeah, it's bad...but i can't afford a 20k second car yet.
