I woke up in the morning to check my car because it wouldnt start the night before. It seems my battery died, well anyway my friends brother pulls up in his 89 supra turbo and we go for a spin. I raced him from a drop. When i dropped it in 2nd i was burning out in 2nd and part of 3rd and i kept right by his door, but as soon as i caught my traction i began to slowly edge my way in front of him for 2 car lengths win. So now im stuck looking for some street slicks so i can further embarass him. Well its not so embarassing because i have modded my c4 and his supra is stock. I didnt think those supras were that fast. I guess you should never underestimate those supras. This is my first race since the mods, with no tune.

To sum it up
c4 vette beat supra from a drop by 2 lengths

ur right, mkiii supras aren't that fast, but if the driver knows what he's doing, i see no problem for him to beat ur vette, my friend's older brother has a mkiii and he turned the boost up from stock, it was still in the 14s range

I want what rice(er) is smokin'. That's gotta be some good shit.

Good kill man. Go get a dyno tune and come back to us with the results. I'd imagine 280-300 whp or so.

Everybody else is right though, you should have smoked him if he was stock.
