Maria the "EVO Girl" Has the Ride of Her Life in a 1,200 HP Toyota Supra

Let's agree on one thing: when you own a modified Mitsubishi Lancer EVO VIII that pumps out 500 hp, it takes something special to impress you. How special? Well, how about more than double that power?

You might remember Maria from a piece we showed you two days ago when she talked about how she got to love cars so much and how she ended up with a 500 hp EVO VIII. And then she showcased a few acceleration runs with the car that would have probably made her take the bus the next day had a cop been around to witness.

About halfway through the video, however, there's a guy in a black Toyota Supra that pulls next to her and the three - camera man included - have a little chat. They don't race since the meeting was inside the city (not that it wouldn't have been illegal outside of it, but you know what we mean), but Maria and her car colleague do talk about what would probably happen. "You would beat him until, like, sixty, probably," he says, and Maria agrees, knowing that the four-wheel-drive system of her EVO would give her the advantage off the line.

After that, though, the Toyota Supra would catch up, and once it did, it would simply fly by. And that's because it has 1,200 hp under the hood, which is nothing short of crazy. This video here is a continuation of the previous one, and in it, Maria gets to ride in the car of her dreams (she definitely likes them Japanese). Then again, who wouldn't dream of a modified Supra?

She seems to enjoy every minute of it as there's a big smile smeared across her face at all times. Unlike most other girls that would step into a car this powerful, she doesn't seem scared at all. In fact, when asked if she wants to add a little more boost to the engine, it takes her about three milliseconds to reply "yes."

Given she knows her way about cars, we're a bit surprised they didn't let her drive the Supra. On the other hand, we don't own a 1,200 hp Japanese classic, so we have no idea how paranoid we would be about other people having a go in our car if we did. Even so, we're pretty confident Maria had the time of her life.
