LMAO! Ive never heard the nickname Catfish for an Mk4. Makes sense though!

That name was used in the article from Sport Compact Car issue when I was featured :D

The title said "Not all Supra Turbos looks like Catfish" :biglaugh:

Duane... you own CarbonFibreFX.com right? If so do you plan on ever doing stuff for 2000 and up Subaru Imprezas. Bit OT but its my thread. lol!

Yes I am but not making anything right now since a worldwide shortage in CF has left me to do nothing. (I do CNC as well.)

The MKIV driver should be ashamed of himself.

As for the catfish comments, yea, there's a vague family resemblance there:

Duane...Yeah i saw that article on your car. I guess i never got what they meant by the catfish comment. lol!

Catback... from a roll the supra will definately win! Atleast i hope so.

Swaq... Highly modified subies do that a lot. If you ever watch WRC you will notice that the Subaru World Rally Team (SWRT) car does that a lot. Acutally i believe they all make that sound.

I'm not one to hate on 4WDs, but if it was the stickiest of the icky... 5000-7000++ HP Drag Cars would be 4WD :naughty:

Plus that guy coudln't launch for shit... 4WD dont mean better launch when the 4WD has cold tyres... a problem they suffer...

The reason it does that in WRC is because left foot breaking is what keeps them around corners, but still holding full boost.... so like said anti-lag don't need to wait for spool when its already there... and Turbo's love pressure... so once you let go of the break it goes nuts.
