I bet the Supra is awful to drive on anything other than a straight line.

Supra
200' Lateral G: 0.94g
600' Slalom: 68.9mph
S2000
200' Lateral G: 0.90g
600' Slalom: 68.6mph
Now, this is not saying or suggesting the Supra handles better than the S2000... but the Supra isn't an awful car to drive around a corner. Compared to a S2000... absolutely more sluggish, but it's certainly not horrific. Unless, of course, you're a fanboi.
Although I do have to agree... drag racing/freeway races are retarded. One trick ponies. Yawn. It's always funny watching drag racers trying to drive around a corner.
Part of the allure the supercharged s2k's have, is not just their reliability and progressive power delivery, but their usability. I imagine you could daily the s2k with very few side effects byre running cost. The supra on the other hand, would be very different.
I'm all for very powerful cars and they're great to see. But the cost is high and the volume of time that you can enjoy that outlay reduces considerably with cars like that supra. The s2k on the other hand, is a very usable car which means the initial outlay to get it to spec is actually more cost efficient.

I have to agree, I have a really hard time driving my car hard at 550 HP other than straight line, thats why I havent driven the car on Q16 at 610 yet. The car goes from making ZERO trq to 400ft lbs in seconds, it's impossible to use that around a track. I don't mind because I like the highway pulls/drag racing, but if I were to road race my S, I would probably just do ITBs and a really nice exhaust for sound .
Supras are badass, but everyone knows how much power they can make, I pull on Porsches/ Z06s and they are literally in shock, lol. A lot of them give me a ton of respect (some get pissed off, lol) it's like David vs Goliath. I would rather have an S2000 at 600 HP, as opposed to a Supra at 1,000HP, but different strokes for different folks blah blah

^So what we are watching is one car that is clearly faster than another?.......
Wow, how profound.
"Top fuel dragster humiliates modified vette!! omgzz!".... <---- o kaaaay. And why is that so impressive?
"5-fist style, hung gar kung fu master humiliates 13 yr old kid in the ring!!! Holy cowz!!!!" <---- ummmm, and?

C7 JFW was trying to make a case that the S2000 > Supra due to driveability. My rebuttle is, how is a 500WHP+ S2000 anymore drivable than a 700WHP+ Supra (as seen in the video)? Reading comprehension fails you so gonna take away your gold star. No gold star for you today, young grasshopper.
So WHO is the one with an iq 2 standard deviations less than the mean?
You dont have to answer that, the 5'th protects special people like you. ;-)

Having ridden in a 1000 whp supra. I can definitely say... i don't see how that f@#king power is usable ANYWHERE but on a highway. You couldn't use that power in daily traffic, you couldn't use it on a road that isn't 3 lanes wide (just in case) and you couldn't use it at low speeds.
When the power hits, it's like warp drive.
Also where is the obligatory link to the Puerto Rican S2000 running 7's now? Also the video of it racing the 2jz s2000 and straight beating it's ass.
