Now, do have this Supra, or no? You sometimes talk like you own one, but I dunno..
105 in the quarter is pretty damned fast.. lol (was there sarcasm in your typing?)
I think that is a little bit of "bull-****in-****" that a Supra was going 165, as well as "still pulling strong".. strikes me as a little bit TOO fast!
The interior looks decent, nothing special though.
What is h/p / torque on this "monster"?

It's not my Supra, it belongs to my friend down the street.
105 in the 1/4 isn't really fast compared to a lot of the cars that are in my area.
Stock HP rating on the Supra was 320hp.
He dyno'd the first time with the downpipe and exhaust and got 353hp at the wheels. With some fuel tuning, got 395hp at the wheels.

165+ is easy for a Supra with almost 400RWHP.

WTF 'IS' fast in your area then? ****.. I always thought if your car did 105 or more in the quarter, you were haulin' *****..
320 stock? Day-um.. no too bad!
What is a downpipe?
What cylander configuration is on supra's?
What do you think the Supra will top out at?

Zepher

110+ in the 1/4 is fast.
Here is a link to our local boards Top Dog List,
http://h10013.racknine.com/~tidewate...threadid=11034
My user name there is WS6, and I am towards the bottom of the list.

Downpipe is the pipe from the Turbo to the intermediate pipe, it goes in place of the stock pipe and cat.
Supra is an Inline 6cylinder.
His Supra probably tops out at the upper 170's, maybe low 180's.

He converted to a 6 speed and has a larger turbo setup and a stand alone ecm, all ready to be installed. Should put 700+ hp at the wheels with that setup.

In my eyes.. 110 in the quarter is "sh*ttin my pants just reading about it" fast!
Those cars listed were ALL LOCAL? All street legal? What about y0ur friends supra? Is that street legal? Will it be after the 700+ h/p?
180's? That is Viper fast!!
What does his supra sound like? Is it deep, or just the traditional import, ***-crap sounding "Wiiing" sound?

Zepher

All of those cars are local and most of them are street legal with the exception of the 97 Firebird, which is a full out race car.
Some of the faster ones border on being "legally" street legal.

My friends Supra is street legal and will still be street legal with 700+hp.
The exhaust is deep, doesn't sound domestic, but it's close. And it doesn't sound like rice,.

How is it 700+ h/p and still street legal?

Zepher

It's a turbo car. Just because a car has a lot of horsepower, doesn't mean it is street legal. My friend daily driven Lighting is puttng 454hp to the wheels.
Also, check out www.supraforums.com, there are a bunch of high horsepower Supras that are street legal.

85_LG4

Ya, but in order to obtain high h/p, don't you usualy run into emmsions problems somewhere down the line? Will 700+ h/p, let alone 550+, be streetable in all reality?

Zepher

Emmissions vary by state, so one car that is street legal/emmissions legal in one place may not be in another.

What is your definition of Street Legal and Streetable?
My car is technically not street legal in VA since I don't have any emmissions on my car.

85_LG4

Street Legal- By law, your car is cleared to be driven on the street.. such as passing Full Inspection, etc..

Streetable- Not too much power to handle on a daily-basis, such as a daily-driver, it is fuel-efficient, etc..

Robvas,

The uplink to that 'linky' has 3 or 4 different projects on it. What year motor was that? Is that carb still computer controlled?

lordmetalz28

wow 5,500 shifts on a 305tpi i shifted into 4th gear at like 6,800 at english town 3 times in one day and my motor still purrs nicley

RS Dragster

Supra's don't have 320 hp stock. They're restricted to 276. Just like the Skylines, RX7's, and 300ZX's

As far as pulling 165 traps w/ 400 rwhp

I might think 120, not much more. 165 would require MAJOR work. We're talking a 9 sec ET.

KnightRider350

how much do you get paid dragster? That's a sweetass ride. If joining the military'd net me a car like that, I'd go for it.

Zeph's right about the 320 horse stock... I've seen some "lightly modded" supras do some amazing things on the dyno's here.

And re-read his post... he's not talking about TRAPPING at 165...he's talking MPH on the highway, not at a track. Topend. And a 400 HP supra can easily hit 160+ MPH.

Y'all gotta read **** more carefully...
