Okay so im heading back to the races here in Dallas, TX tonight (yes we race on Wens nights here) and Im about to take a left when i see this Juicy Supra go right(Turbo of course, probably stock though not sure, sounded that way though), so Im thinking hum, I havent raced one of those yet! So were cruising down Macauthur and were side by side im in second and (this guy has got his flashers on already laughing at me) I here him punch it, so I get on my stook and lets say by the end of third into 4th I was the one with the flashers on! He turned off in defeat! It was SWEET!

Next on my agenda was this new SS, we did a 45mph punch I was at 105 with about a 2.5 cars length on him, that was nice too!

But im not invincible by no MEANS, I saw a Viper and was thinking what the hell! I have a sense of humor! Well he yanked me about 2 car lengths before I was out of second, soooooo we know who won that one! LOL, it was fun all the same, and we talked afterwards and he was like I can here that SC on there!

It was a great night though al and all!

I think beating the Supra Turbo was a case of bad driving on his part or he wasn't really racing. Driven properly, it would annihilate your car.

Uhh, he does have a supercharger and weighs 500 lbs less (at least) than the Supra. Even with BPU (400 wheel hp) a Supra wouldn't pull that hard on him till very high speeds. It the Supra was stock, the S2K would have an advantage.

oh man i can't believe i missed that! i wish i could of seen the look on the SS drivers face as its beaten by a 4banger.. as well as the supra guy thats truly amazing and worth the 5k to me. that pretty much confirms your at least in the low 13 range if you get a good launch.

How much are the Neuspeed drilled rotors? The veilside front end looks great! Looks much better in red than the white showcar veilside had in japan.

Sunny - the front spoiler, I did not like at first from pictures - but you gotta see it in person - definately better! it streaches out the front nose and has some great lines. Although we debated about the fins on the side, we all agreed it is definately a great addition to the car.

Damn it, once again, I missed out on everything b/c of my slashed left rear tire...I'm getting sick of this, so today I'm going to order some new rear tires ($108/tire is pretty cheap for the Yokohama AVS Int.) until my 17" wheels come in (I'll get lucky if it comes w/one a month).

In the picture the front spoiler looks sharp on the red.

I think a supercharged S2K can pull on a stock supra TT, especially from a roll. I think the best time i've heard from a stock Supra TT was 12.9 and that was from Guilly on supraforums. His car is probably a "ringer". I doubt most stock supras would get Guilly's time.

Now if it was a single turbo or dual HKS turbo supra, then the supra would have....

I've seen streetable (street tires) supras that run 11's and can handle pretty incredilby. yes, you can get a streetable supra that has well over 7 or 800 hp. seen it - didn't say it was a daily driver nor cheap, but they are out there, so watch out.
