My guess is not nearly as bad as the wet noodle ride that you get with a topless Supra. IMO, it’s bad for the car to accelerate hard with the top off at 2-3x the factory power levels. ---

The Supra’s, Camaro’s, etc just simply lose rigidity with the tops off. ---

The Supra’s are way worse then the Camaro’s man, you can literally feel the frame flex and twist and shit way before air becomes a factor. And again, Wayne’s car is braced from the factory. ---

I was just asking because when you have 700whp, and you go WOT with the targa off, it’s like god is telling you to stop because your gonna die. I wont do that anymore, course I have the top on 99% of the time. Not to mention its pretty loud with it off. ---

> [@n!cole"](#): > > And the other 99% of the time the car never leaves the garage to begin with… Shaddup. 1. I dont drive the car M-F because I work 10-12 hours a day, followed by the GYM followed by sleep. So that typically excludes any weekday play. 2. I dont drive the car in the rain. You ever try to keep a 16 year old black car clean? Good luck. 3. I normally do shit on the weekends and dont use it as a commuter vehicle. 4. It’s not the quietest car in the world and draws a lot of unneeded attention. I know it seems pointless to own, but I do take it out from time to time when I have some free time.
