Smoked a supra

Self, how much are these mods listed gonna improve the SS' performance? SS' are mid 13-second cars stock, I know, and I remember an article I read in a magazine a long time ago about a stock Supra running 13 flat. I'm not calling B.S. yet, since there's driver skill to account for, but the way he describes beating the Supra is a little much.

peterparker, you sure it was a turbo?

Firstly, it's rare to see Supra's running flat 13s, just like it's rare to see an LS1 running high 12s. Reguardless, those heads, along with a suitable cam, would push him well into the 12s, I'm guessing, if properly tuned. By the same token, why didn't you go ahead and free up some additional ponies with a headers/exhaust combo? Go ahead and do that, the seat of the pants difference will bring a smile to your face Try for longtubes if you can afford it and emissions aren't a factor.

01 SS doesnt have the old 5.7 litre motor, but yet it's still a pushrod motor...


and he said ARE "cams".



does anyone wanna clarify, cuz the "M" and "S" keys on my keyboard are nowhere near each other.


also, this is a Honda forum, and neither car was a Honda.

13.3@173KPH(remember, that's Kilometers-Per-Hour) for a stock American version Supra.

Even if you're running 12's this description just does not work. He also never mentioned if the Supra appeared modded in any way, since it's VERY easy to take a Supra into the 12's itself.

I say the Supra wasn't a turbo.

Yea it would be a cam, didn't even notice he had put the "s" in there. It's still a 5.7 liter though, just a new breed of 5.7. Quite a bit quicker than the LT1.

Yeah, but it's sends the right message while being disarmingly charming at the same time, doesn't it?

the Supra didn't looked modded at all but im pretty sure it was a turbo(could tell by the sound). He took it easy out of the launch and my tires spun for a split second than I got really good traction. I think he was a pretty bad driver because i've raced a couple of stock supra's before and they put up a little better fight.

sorry about the spelling mistake

"cam/heads"
