Default VIDEO: The SC S2000 vs Supra Drama Rematch...

Some might remember that there was some major drama a while back between me and a Supra. Mainly over me not liking how his 2-3 car-length 40-90 MPH win ended up being posted as a 5 car-length win on the Supra boards. A rematch was set way back in October, "bus-lengths" were supposed to be put on by the Supra or I win. Since then the guy has sold his old Supra, and bought a new one (have no idea what mods), but we ran into each other tonight and I'm not one to back down from a challange. Here's the video. Maybe one bus-length...but not two. This race was a little longer, 40-120.

His sig on the Supra board says his best time is 12.6, the car's probably much quicker than that...more like low 12s.

Wesmaster,

have you ever tried brake boosting?? step on the brakes and step on the throttle at the same time to spool up the turbo then take off.. very good for rolling starts...

He has a supercharger, no such thing as turbo lag.

Wes, when did you exactly go full throttle?

dats fast. especially after watching the SCs2k vs cobra vs s4 vid you get an idea of how fast ya'll are going. did Zerin have race gas in? that could make for a good match.

man....what kinda racing is that??? at LEAST go 3rd honk......that was who ever punches it then the other punches it AFTER him so the 1st person obviously has an advantage....i would never do a money race like that. Im not saying the final outcome would have changed totally, that supra is BADASS and runs 12's(best bang for your buck/all go..i would floss one ). Go on 3 should always happen on rolling starts....if it sucks for the racers to do it then a 3rd car should do the horn. Good race though, I wish i was there but i lost you guys coming out of jamba, i went down westhimer with the pack of GTI's and zerin was behind me but then he just disappeared so i turned around at the end of westhiemer.
