Ran into a Supra..

[BjornRune]

Nice black/black MKIV, never seen one while driving the VR-4 so though I'd have a go.. ROFL what a total MURDER! We went from about 80-90ish and up to whenever he let go a few buslenghts ahead.. I threw in the towel at around 130, at that point this was getting silly as I was getting totally slaughtered :D

Pulled into a gas station with him, owner was really nice and wanted to exchange cell # for future cruises and whatnot. Car was BPU and he put down 422rwhp..damn. Really clean car, he has a 3.4L stroker with a big single that's going in this winter so I'm fucked nomatter what I do for upgrades LOL.

Oh well, great guy and a really nice car.
Supras are MONSTERS from a roll!

Too bad I sold the 15G's this summer, I put down 397awhp with the AEM EMS and a stock catback last year. Not sure it would have made much difference anyway, except for being slightly less embarassing haha.

Mods still on my car:
Full fuel with dual feed/dual pumps
9b's at 16psi
Full exhaust
Stock smic
And a lot of other supporting mods, completely useless with the 9b's..

Sorry your "hair dryers" let you down ;)

You should have at least asked for a "from the dig" race....

At least you came away with good spirits and a new friend!!!!

Bob. :)

15gs and supporting mods will definitely be a good race from a roll with a bpu supra.

[Atrosity]

That is just ridiculous how they can put down that kind of power BPU. Is it dramatically different for us from a dig against a supra? Would he have a chance? With the awd and all..

[91stealthrt2]

how is a stroker and single only bpu??

Lol I missed it at first too

[91stealthrt2]

ahh totally missed that. lol

AWD is a great advantage until you blow up your t-case/bellhousing/clutch/axle/endcase and then the FUNS OVER.

[BjornRune]

If we had gone from a dig I would probably put a few car lenghts on him, but with that kind of power it would only be a matter of time before he caught up with me again. That is of course assuming I wouldn't blow anything up with the launch..

Well, I would think my corner exit acceleration is better than his so I got him there. Until he catches up again, that is.. Damn supras LOL

Hahaha already blew that shit up once! :X

Um, You are on 9b's and expected to do well on pump gas vs a car with 422whp. I wouldn't say that supra is amazing, I would just say you are stock and I wouldn't expect to do much that way. I don't see it as a good comparison with what they have stock vs us. So you should be getting slaughtered. I wouldn't be praising the other car as much as looking how basic your upgrades/turbos are. With my (old) car I would have raced him with my 17g's and basic setup any day, and would have killed him from a roll. Just having the tiny td04 upgrades and a bit larger injectors, you could have kept up. Most Td04 turbos I categorize as a "stock" turbo, because it could have easily came from the factory with them. So with 9b's and pump its not a fair race,

[BjornRune]

I expected to do well? HA! I expected to have fun and I did.
Why so serious? No need to overanalyze things, good for you that your 17G's would have killed him any day. I had a 526awhp eIII-16G td05 machine a few years back so I know what upgrades can do. I just think it's impressive that Supras can put down such healthy numbers with minimal mods. I give respect where respect is due, that car was certainly no slouch :)

[onebadmollafolla]

They're bolt-ons. :p

[TT4ME]

I was kinda hoping you actually hit a Supra. No carnage pics :(

I have a feeling that supra vs 3000 in a collision that the 3000 would win!

[11secondFWD]

I wasn't too serious. Glad you had fun. But I wouldnt race many turbo sports cars in a 9b car.

I didnt mean to insult you and I was more just sticking up for 3000gt's and hating on supras. I know it came off harsh but didnt mean it that way bro.

My main point: Supras com with the turbo and fuel stock that is not an even comparison bpu to bpu. And the small td04 upgrades and like 550cc injectors are rally almost like still stock. They arent much biggr, could have bn stock, and would make it a fair fight and on that I believe the 3s might win. I wasnt tooting my own horn. I just mentioned it as a small td04 upgrade that would have killed that supra! There are a couple that meet every weekend at a parking lot near my place and th guy with the single supra was always scared to race my 3s and they just dont impress me much. But they are still kinda cool to see though since kinda rare.

[JasonY]

Once he goes 3.4 and big single, just stop at 120 and you'll be fine.

My friend Kyles supra didnt hit its stride until after 100mph. Useless fun, but fun. That was with high 700's at the wheels. He ended up having to run ET streets to hook up even from a 50-60mph roll on, it was his nice weather DD. Put about 35k miles on it with that setup, good cars but i cant see past how booooooooooooooooring they look and they draw as much attention as a Viper everywhere you go, it gets old quick..

I had to stop when I read that too :lol: at least he wasn't one of the infamous cocky sob supra owners that you always hear about. I'd try too don't care even if I loose.

Sorry had to f***in repost sorry but this is the best post I have ever read :lol: :lol: :lol:

At first i thought you meant you actually RAN into the supra. Btw. thats a SURE fire way to win a race AWD > RWD when push comes to shove. So remember kiddies, aim for the supra off the line, you'll be fine!

If that one phrase doesn't start a 4 page discussion then I'm going to be surprised as hell.

You suprised yet?

[IPD]

not impressed. starting from 20mph would have been dead even...probably even with 9b's.

[HellBringer]

15gs and supporting mods will definitely be a good race from a roll with a bpu supra.



When my Supra was BPU it was absolutely dead even with a DR650'd Stealth. We ran essentially identical ET's and MPH at the track at roughly the same boost level. A healthy BPU Supra should put down 400-450RWHP and trap ~120MPH. ET will vary based on driver and traction, but anywhere from mid 11's to mid 12's.

LMFAO

I can't tell if that is sarcasm, or pure blatant ignorance. :shake2:

everyone knows that according to you, "teh suppra can nevar lose!!!"

[R/T93]

400+ whp vs 300 whp from a roll, someones getting walked

[HellBringer]

everyone knows that according to you, "teh suppra can nevar lose!!!"

:brilliant:


LOL ok... You're so disconnected from reality I honestly don't know how you can have a functional life... My point of view is formulated on the basis of FACTS derived from my own personal experiences. When was the last time you owned a modded VR-4? A BPU Supra? Lined both up at the drag strip or on the highway? I think the answer to all of those is never! All of your ridiculous, poorly-formed bullshit opinions are based on internet conjecture. Welcome..... ..to the real world.

And FWIW, I'm 4/2 for my track wins against modded VR-4/TT's with video. (proof!? what's that..!?) A certain DR650'd Stealth and I have a tentative re-match at some point. The odds have somewhat shifted in my favor by about 72mm's, though. :rockon:

[AshyBone]

You suprised yet?

-dLs-

shit very lol.

[GordonRamsey]

With the right engine work and of course all other things, I think supra's can be a mean track car (road racing, not drag), the shame is the power band it like what, 1500 pms when you get to big numbers or something? No wonder toyota swapped the 2j for a 3sgte for their JGTC car..
