I've never ridden in one, but I can't imagine a glide to be all that great on the street.

Also from their thread on the other site, the car was driven to and from the track. On the street.

its a dog(supra owners with th400 aree), unlike a 6-speed or a z tranny fully upgraded... BUT still you can take it on the street....There are many definitions of street cars but i think this one still falls in that cathegory...and th400 ovbiously proven on the track. Hopefully 6-speed catch up soon in development
Anyways Julian if you are reading this...congrats, and as darren said, i agree, you are a few steps close to getting the magical 9
Do you have a video?

9/10 TH400 Supra owners will tell you that it's no bueno for a street car.
Even with multiple oil coolers, trans coolers w/ fans blowing on them the heat produced in the trans tunnel is so hot that the shifter is too hot to the touch. TH400 trans will easily touch 210degrees+ with the quickness, even with every possible cooling trick out there.
No overdrive auto = one hot tamale.
They're great for drag cars...obviously.
