aright, here's what i think. . .off the line, the firebird will probly beat you, but as soon as you hit 2nd you should start to beat the firebird. i know the supra doesnt have too good of a start becuz my bro has an 89 turbo. dont go on what ive just said, wait for other people to comment, i wouldnt want to be the reason y u might lose 100 bucks.

If its a 93 and up LT1 or LS1 DONT DO IT, you will get smoked.
if its an 89 and up TPI 5.7 youl most likely get smoked. if its a rust bucket small block V8 rebuild DO IT you may smoke her. SO remember check what kind of firebird it is, if its a TransAm be carefull cause you will probably get smoked |

Oh I think you could easily take him, unless it's a WS6 he might give you a good run, but since you got that turbo, manual, lighter car, you definatly have the advantage. well I'm pretty sure the 93 and up Firebirds run a 13.9 if your Supra is faster than that you could take em!
 GO SUPRA GO!

i dont know man...mkiii's arent exactly speed demons
maybe between now and then you could hook yourself up with a boost controller and up the boost a little...but only within the limits of your turbo... do some research as to what the max boost efficiently is on your turbo |

You should just go to a local performance shop and spend $50 on a cheap manual boost controller...You'd definately win after that.

if you shift before you hit fuel cut...theres no point to the boost controller because youll be stuck at low rpms + no full boost
the adverse affects will outweigh the benefits |

You hit full boost pretty much right when the turbo spools which is probably like 3,000 rpms on a stock mkiii.
