Drove a friend's near 400HP gen 2 MR2 Turbo a while back. Thing is redic. The block is stock, that is it. Motec ECU, huge turbo, water-air intercooler, the works. Launch control via the ECU. Mash the clutch and gas, drop the clutch, it works out the rest. Insane, and it hadn't been fully tuned yet. Running only 20 PSI of boost.

Also rode in a 10 second (with the slips to prove it to me) diesel truck once too. Some giant Dodge... the super super duty kind. Guy had all sortsa turbo diesel goodies. He mashed the gas, it made whoosing sounds, and we were doing 140MPH. Just like that. It felt odd because the truckwas so high off the ground, you really lost sensation of speed.
