Default supra kill

well im going home with my buddy in his 02 ss with exaust. were on the freeway and see a green supra beatiful car. were going around 60-65 mph we pull next 2 him and give him a thumbs up and say nice car. he returns the compliment and we say want 2 go he says yes. he also said he always wanted 2 see what his car could do against a ss. we go on the third honk but pull busses on the guy then he says he missed 2 gears we say all right and go again. he honks bam we give him the hit and then proceed 2 walk him like nothing we were so suprised because it was turbo. or we had thought we pull off and talk it was of course a manuel but n/a 6 speed he claimed 220hp then we understood why it was so ugly all in all great race i should be back home in a couple hours.

by the way is there 6 speed n/a supra

N/A 3rd gen supra is 5 speed. I run into one all the time at a local meet. Twin Turbo is mostly automatics I noticed (never came across a manual), or when manual, a 6 speed.

They sound great boosted with a nice exhaust, but catch a huge premium due to the fast and the furious.

i raced a friends 850rwhp supra for fun from a dig, and was destroying him until about 50-60, when all the sudden my car must have shut off because he went flying by at a pretty incredible pace lol.

and yes i believe the n/a ones are 5 speeds, the turbo'd ones are 6 speeds.

It's amazing how much of a premium even the NA versions bring.

I raced a Single Turbo 6spd last night.
He beat me from a 40roll to 200 (KPH) by about 1 car
I beat him from a dig to about 200kph by about 6 or 7 cars.

Against an n/a Supra, I'm not surprised. I love those Supra's, though. That car was really ahead of it's time. Toyota should have slapped a Lexus logo on side and could have sold it for twice as much.
