Did anybody of you spot the nitous bottle in the car the big turbo supra use nitrous for spooling up the turbo.
But some men here must 8,45 @162 is pretty fast for a 3,0 liter straight six engine.
No antilag on this car btw antilag is bad for your turbo.
Just think what sort of fun you have whit a 1520 whp supra!!
This car was uses to race very fast motorbikes.

I don't see a point in building this car into a dragster, when there are better suited, cheaper and faster alternatives available. Supras are notorious for their traction problems off the line, and I've seldomly seen a 1000Hp+ Supra manage to get an impressive 1/4 mile, when you consider its output.

A 1000Hp Supra most of the time runs with a 700Hp whatever you pick. I've always found many of the claims from the Supra community fishy, and ever to often a Supra couldn't live up its fame.

But if you still want to built it, all cool with that.

About the handling of the Supra, don't forget it's a 1993 car, and handles accordingly. It was a very good handler in its time, but surpassed today.

Most people see the supra as a the japanese muscle car.
You can make weapon of a supra with some decent mods in the right places just as a chevy v8 their many tuning parts for supra with the 2jz-gte engine.
Some supra live up the hype others not some will kick your ass others you just need to find the right supra but that is the same whit other cars
I love supra but also like gtr's and like to more than a supra.
Just because they are much better suited to a road course.
But stll loving supra's.

He uses nitrous to spool up the turbo.

Oh, I'm sure they will kick *my* ass. but that's far besides the point. The point is that a Supra sucks as a base for dragracing. It's one of the few occassions an American V8 is the obvious choice.

pagani · 07-25-2006, 07:13 AM

Turbo v8's are just as good on the street.
V8 are better for dragracing but sometimes imports are fast.
That's why is fun to see supra or other import car to see them kick as on the strip.

drag strips are gay .....

pagani · 07-25-2006, 08:19 AM

Stepchild i tend to agree with you that dragracing is gay.
But for some people that is everything.
I will aways pick a car with top handling than with dragstrip performance.
But sometimes a straightline beast is fun

saadie · 07-25-2006, 09:26 AM

^^ only on a drag strip

pagani · 07-25-2006, 09:29 AM

Ok agree
Maby a little streetracing on very straight road.

saadie · 07-25-2006, 10:23 AM

^^ yeh .... but you do have to change lanes .. .
and you know exactly what happnens when a car changes lane on a drag strip

anyway ..
with that type of turbo .... i dont think the car can drift ? ... or am i wrong

pagani · 07-25-2006, 07:12 PM

To much turbo lag to make a drift whit this car
Just spooling the turbo is very hard without the nitrous.
Just think what can happpen if you try to drift this car.

T-Bird · 07-25-2006, 07:43 PM

You have to realize he also uses a very high stall torque converter on the car to keep the revs high to reduce the lag being that the car is an automatic.

Well it was at his shop 3 days ago with a new paint job, i guess this is why. It's where i'm getting free dyno time

. I hope everyone realizes this is a 7 second car. This car has a full interior and with all that engine work they did, weight went up. I think they use a 200 shot for spooling the turbo, either way it's rare car that deserves some credit.

You have hit the nail right on his head.
This the fastest street supra ever.
I believe this used to race very cars and motorbikes like a suzuki hayabusa's and other fast stuff
And this is my 600 th post in this forum.
This the perfect street/strip car.
