Update: GTS just dyno'd at 442hp at the rear wheels which is about 508hp at engine assuming conservative 12.5% powertrain loss.  (Not quite as much as those 600hp ACRs)

Testing big brake kit at 150mph led to a little damage!  It took 15 months to find a suitable replacement sidesill.  The front right wheel was also broken.  Total bill = $3500!

Update: Apparently this crash also destroyed the front right wheel hub assembly and cracked the racing brake rotor.  This issue didn't show up until the Houston Supra event in March 07.   Add a few more dollars to the bill!
