that is a fast time but there are two things that i think about when looking at that data. one, that is a crazy small track. taking hp out of the equation is a useful tool but, imo, not acomplete picture of how good a car is. taking a car to a track like that is almost as misleading as taking cars to a dragstrip. its just a portion of the car. two, that is a trd concept car if im reading right. that article states: "We will find out more on the 11th of January when TRD officially releases the specifications, but were are 100-percent certain that there is a lot more tweaking going on than just some suspension stiffening and exhaust work"
