Supra kill but barely

[StrikerRedline]

well I'm going out to lunch from work and a guy I work with has a green supra with a turbo and its the newer body style. Well I just got a butt load of upgrades and wanted to test them so i'm at the light turning on to a 2 lane street with him right behind me. So the light turns green and I sped up to 45 quick but he wasnt going quick so I just stayed at 45 (the speed limit there) and finally notice him flying up on me so I threw it into second and put it down 3/4 of the throttle (because my tires aren't too good so I spin if i floor it until i get to 60 usually). well he stayed right at my back bumper not making nor losing ground until I get to about 75 and put it into third and WOT and I started creeping away. we shut down at 110 and I gained around 2 feet. He was really upset and started blaming it on stupid stuff like he needs an oil change and stuff, but he excpeted defeat. I'm all smiles now

good kill............. he might have been stock though man. even the cheapest single turbo conversions throw them past 400whp

i heard they smooth out your idle and whatnot, just make the whole car function/run better and smoother. you cant tell a difference though?

Dumb question but, those ground kits hook to the negative of your battery. Where do you connect them in our cars w/the battery being in the back??

I am a former Supra owner and I was in the supra scene for a long time, those cars are beast from a roll.

Here is a little write up on the supra, these numbers are a bit on the fast side but you get an idea, but anything can happen in the real world so good kill. I have seen plenty of TT supras run 14s with a horrible driver so its possible. Motortrend ran a 13.4@106mph for the 1993 6speed. This article claims a 13.1@109mph.

With the fourth generation of the Supra, Toyota took a big leap in the direction of a more powerful sports car. The new Supra was completely redesigned, with rounded body styling partly based on the Ferrari F40 and featured two new engines: naturally aspirated 2JZ-GE 220 hp (164 kW) and 210 ft·lbf (285 N·m) of torque and a twin turbocharged 2JZ-GTE making 320 hp (239 kW), 315 ft·lbf (427 N·m) of torque. The turbocharged variant could achieve 0–60 mph in 4.6 seconds and 1/4 mile (402 m) in 13.1 seconds at 109 mph [2]. The stock turbos are capable of running around 450-500 bhp with an unrestricted airflow/exhaust system and an aftermarket boost controller (BPU Upgrade).
