Awesome vids. You really know how to launch your L.




:beer:

what type of traction bars are you using? if any

truktracs. The good launch is all in the burnout. Nittos really have to be heated up.

I shut off at about 110. If I kept going he most likely would have caught me. The thing about racing is its about 40% the car, and 60% the driver.

Dayum! Nice kills! You must be one of those guys who can take a 13 second car and make it a 12 second car just on driver skill. :thumbsup:

Awesome. I think the boys at supraforums.com would really enjoy the Supra video...The amount of excuses it would produce would provide hours of viewing pleasure LOL.

gonna buy me some nitto 555Rs as the F1 are sh*t

our trucks are very similar, i've been debating on --should i put that top pulley on or go back down to a #4lower then do the top pulley.


good runs, your a very good driver:beer:
like to see you run a E55 amg or a modded 03 cobra

If it's even half as much fun as the 03 Cobra vs. E55 AMG threads were I'm in. :beer:

LOL. Yeah, it's funny because the Cobra guys pulled out the "SupraForums Excuse Playbook" on that thread and got flamed to high heaven. Hell, we even used the allmighty "he lost but was just about to pass him" (which is true:p ) and got ill treatment. :??: Did we perhaps break some kind of intellectual property rights that you guys had on that particular excuse? :shrug: :beer:

It's bad enough if you beat one of us, but to use our carefully thought out and time tested excuses, well, that's just going too far.

(At least you don't have any intercooler hoses to blow off. Yet.) ;)

The 4.6 Mustang has a built short block with a S trim blower and TKO transmission. The SS had a lid, and exhaust. The foxbody had a built motor with a kenne bell blower. The wrx had midpipe and turbo upgrades, One of the supras was stock Twin turbos, the other had an aftermarket Single turbo.

4.6 and camaro SS

foxbody and wrx

2 Supras


Nice videos... :bowdown:

BTW you guys seem to dyno high for the mods you have. Just curious what kind of dyno were you on? Is that SAE or STD ? Just curious

i have to say.. for a single turbo supra that car looks SLOW.. unless that viper was making BIG power that supra should have left him.. What kinda turbo does it have?
Good kill to the lightning.. i think the supra would have needed to run to BIG mph to pull past you..
