RE: Top Horsepower
You guys are completely underestimating supras. The mkiv supra tt's were mid 13 second cars and ran 60 in real low 5's sometimes 5 flat with the right driver. With just a few mods they can run 12's no problem. Supra's don't struggle at the track at all unless you are comparing 1k hp supras with 1k hp v8's and such. The huge hp supras use really big single turbos so they spool very slowly. Stock, they have small twin turboes and spool up pretty damn quickly, and they are good track cars. they also have 320hp not 300.

RE: Top Horsepower
good track cars? they are horrible for what they are. ive never seen a stock supra run 13s, this isnt a magazine world. Ive seen tons in the mid to high 14s, and even more in the 15s. Especially if its an automatic. Like i said, with equal drivers, the supra should/would win, but most lil kids that own those cars dont know what the f they are doin.

When it comes to turbo-charged Toyota Supras, I'll leave it to what Al Jourgenson, the singer for Ministry said when he got his: "I wanted something I could outrun the Texas Highway Patrol in."

RE: Top Horsepower
totally, im very anti magazine racing.
They tested our cars at 15.3 in the auto, has anyone even come close to that stock? most are low 16s or mid 15s are best (most around 15.6 or 15.7). I ran a 15.26 bone stock @ 1200ft on crap az gas lol. But i have a manual trans.

RE: Top Horsepower
i've seen one stock tt supra run at the track...ever and it ran a high 13, but most supras are going to be modded. this isn't magazine racing at all. You must have seen some really ****ty drivers if they were running low 15's, thats well over a second and a half what those cars can run, and that is just sad. I'm not trying to start an arguement but have you ever driven a tt supra? they are faaast man.

RE: Top Horsepower
ive driven a 980rwhp supra actually. but its single turbo. And remember, im over 1200ft here and arizona has some of the worste gas in the nation, so naturally cars will be slower here.

RE: Top Horsepower
stock block on a TT supra can withstand 1k HP without a doubt, as far as i remember the one in SCC made almost 1200... stock block...
the lower end on the supras is nuts and i have definately seen them past 700... surely 1000 if not 1200 hp...
This is lilc1511 btw... not torch sorry...
