i'd keep away from any Supra TT or GTR on a motorway..... even mildly tuned they are animals at top end 
I remeber playing with a 340bhp EVO out of speed cameras's.... matched me to about 100 then..... oooofya..... seeeya
i miss that beast sometimes. Was a scary cunt in the wet though

Your STi has got the 8k rev limit though hasnt it?
The limit in my car is set to 7k by the apexi power fc.
the speed i go through gears is just stupid. would love 6 speed box but looking circa 2k iirc.

I agree it seams to be some sort of brother hood.
In my dad's old black mark 1 golf GTi he got waves from other black GTi drivers.
In the pickup we wave to american car drivers with american plates
In the polo i wave to everyone else as they all overtake me

I usually have a glance at other coupés, sometimes any Astra or Corsa. Just to check out the car tho, but I never wave. I don't really see the point. I'd feel weird waving at strangers, or having them wave at me

I find the turbo drivers wave, but the Sport drivers generally don't. I suppose they buy the car for differant reasons.

I had to flash my lights and give this guy the thumbs up in a 2 door Sierra Cosworth this morning. It was rather smart...

My mate gets waves from fellow FTO owners as well, I chuckle if i'm with him

definately saved me a few quid, its a double lane carrage way going down hill, signposted as a 40. Realy really easy to be going over 40 safely. Sly coppers, thing is there is a stationary trevelo camera down there anyway, just further down.

I always get let on to by other Scooby drivers and as you say most people dont even try to bother racing you!
I had a ruck with a VXR Monaro in Stockport the other day (Silver one with them nostril things on the bonnet, does anyone know it?) He didnt let on but the young lad in the passenger seat gave me thumbs up!
