Is Supra the ultimate highway killer?

Well i think it is. I'm watching videos all time on streetfire and it amazes me how efficient is Supra from a roll almost can't find any videos of it loosing on the highway. What do you guys think? Is there a better car for highway racing?

Re: Is Supra the ultimate highway killer?

There really isn't an all around king of the streets as far as a particular model of a car, supras have been made notorious for performing well on the interstates and high speed pulls but there are still plenty of cars out there that when given the chance(money) could very easily keep up and even walk off from a supra. look on streetfire for a rx7 and a supra wether stock to stock or closely moddified to make it fair and see what happens. it's pretty interesting.

Re: Is Supra the ultimate highway killer?

the supra is not only the "highway killer" but also a drag strip killer ive seen supras able to hold over 1000 hp on the stock block berfore only problem is u cant find a tire that is street legal that can hold that much power. supras are just an all around perfect car in my own opinion. they can drift, drag, auto cross, any auto sport u can think of its good at it period

Re: Is Supra the ultimate highway killer?

It is a great car (my fav car since I own a MIV>sig) but I don't think it can win from the 'hyper'-supercars like the Veyron, CCXR, F1,... And sure it would be defeated by f.e. a 9ff GT9 (max speed of 409kmph clocked). I really looooooooooveeeeeee the Supra, but there are better cars available (although the Supra is a bargain for its capacities)
