I'm guessing two out of the five "drives" are motorcycles. haha

Aww. I was hoping he'd see it first. Actually quite a badass collection of rides.

That's faster to 20 than the FR-S with 2.5% the displacement!

I actually ran out of room , at seven now. Four are legally classed as motorcycles, three of those are NOT scooters. But I'd be lying if I claimed I wasn't always on the hunt for a new 50cc scoot.

Would have thought they would all be faster up to 60 than the twins. haha

Wow, can definitely see why you want lane splitting to be legal there. When do you drive opposed to ride?

Well, the one tops out at around 35 or so


I ride as much as the weather in Oregon allows. I drive either when it's on a track, when I have to haul stuff, or when it's raining.

It'd be even faster if you trimmed all the zip ties.

Which bike is this one? Not one of the ones listed? But now that I think about it, "Aero 50" sounds like it can be a 50cc bike.

But where then, will I hide all my JDM street cred?

Yep that's the Aero 50! I was doing some top speed testing in residential zones directly adjacent to my house. #rebel #streetracer #usingphoneswhiledriving

Just think about it this way. Sure, in the hands of a test driver or an automotive journalist the sienna can do 0-60 faster, probably, but the average driver on the road is so terrified of the fun half of the throttle and the second half of the tach (if they even still have tachs) that all of these cars will live most of their lives putting along and never even get out of closed loop fueling. In this way it's better to think that the twins are actually faster than the average brand new Corvette

LMAO. Of course, I was just speaking of straight line acceleration, with four of us in the Sienna. The twins are king in corners, which is really where the fun is at.

Yeah, I decided to take it out since I wanted to compare it to the 2016 Sienna (I work at Toyota if you guys haven't picked up on it yet). I wanted to see just how much of a difference the D-4S and 8-speed transmission made to the 2GR performance.

We can say our cars accelerate as quickly as a Ferrari and Lambo. We won't be lying. haha

And just for records, I'm not complaining about "how slow" the twins are, I just like to poke fun at it because for some reason, everyone in my area thinks the twins are super fast cars.
