My 3000gt base vs. 91 supra

[hawk362]

So this kid thought his supra was so fast because its a supra and yes it has the stock small turbo in it, he has intake, racing seats, carbon fiber hood, and he wanted to run me. On my ride i have a injen intake, full catback with downpipe, Apexi Neo SAFC, lowered Eibach kit springs, cams and i have the advantage of less weight bcuz i have the base model. He was all like dude your car is so slow bcuz its heavy and i have a turbo blah blah, i ran him to finally shut him up quarter mile i beat him by 2 lengths, and the kid lost $50 on it, so hes like i want to search your car cuz i know your spraying. I was like dude just except the loss and pay up or im gonna break your neck. The kid paid, now he wants to sell his car now and buy a vr4, ha the irony!

Hmm, what year Supra was this? A turbo Supra should have toasted your ass.

yup, only explanation.

still, the NA 3S cars like cams very much.

what cams do you have?

[hawk362]

Yup cams helped me crazy style, and they sound nice. I purchased them from 3sx for like 400 bucks i believe a while ago, but it was worth the money.

My younger brother thinks the same way that kid did. "It's a supra! and thats all there is to it." A name dosent always mean "FAST."

Nice kill.

can you be more specific? they don't sell cams for 400, only 700 and up.

were these regrinds or hard-welds?

do you know what profile you have? street, race, ultra race, NA ?

those are Adjustable Cam Gears. not camshafts. big difference.

i almost picked up a set of those for 200, but another guy beat me to it.

cam gears allow you to advance/retard timing (which is just the duration). camshafts change the duration AND LIFT of the valves.

what are your settings on the cam gears?

[hawk362]

Right now it is -3 retard on the exhaust cams +2 on the intake cams

Yeah, but Scott was looking at as early 80s Celica-Supra that is a HUGE difference. This guy raced a 91' Turbo. They have 232 horses and 254 ft/lbs of torque stock to his 222 horses and 217 ft/lbs of torque. That's a lot of torque to make up, and I don't think he can with those mods. Not to mention, he only has about 75 extra pounds over him, not much.

Plus RWD is better than FWD for traction. Its pretty clear that the guy with the supra sucked at driving.

or hes full of bs

[hawk362]

Listen I am not debating if these 2 cars are faster or slower, i beat the kid twice first time he screwed his launch up second time he lost by car and half almost 2 lenghts. I am not saying stock vs stock i should win, im saying i won i got paid 50 and he cant talk shit nemore cuz me car is a NA, simple as that.

I'm not calling BS here, the kid should have a mid-high 14 second base with those mods right? MKIII's are dogs, i've driven them, nothing all that special speedwise. Good kill, shut them shittalkers up.
