Yeah, I'm sure we all want fuking beasts, but most of us cant afford it. Costs roughly $13-$20k for a full worked to the bone long block engine and then you have to add labor on top of that. Secondly thats only the engine, now you have to buy everything to go along with it. You'll end up spending around $35k if you build a stock supra into a 900rwhp fuking beast. Thats not including the initial price of the supra and if everything goes right, hehe

You could buy a new acura tl type s and still have $3k left over for the amount you spend on parts and labor. Depends on your priorities, wants, and budget...

You're kidding right? I am going to find that link where a 950hp supra raced an F1. The F1 totally destroyed that Supra - it wasn't even close.

i have that F1 vs Veilside Supra video. I also have the same Supra racing an F40. On the F1 vid the guy got such a shit start, so much that he shaved a second of his 1/4 mile time with the F40. And secondly that Supra isnt the proper 1039bhp Veilside Supra. I would be surprised if the car in the vid was anywhere near the real Veilside Supra.

And anyway i never said it would beat the F1, just it would scare it, and i think it would do if you only beat it by half a second on 1/4 mile in you're £650,000 car.

I guess if I had an F1, I wouldn't be intimidated by anything. I dont care what it is. Just having an F1 means that I am at the top of the heep on the street because I know the only way to get in my league is by turn the car into something it wasn't when it was produced.

Yeah, that video said nothing for supras. A BPU supra can do low 12's, even a BPU supra on NOS (80-100shot) can do high 11's. If you put on a single turbo and didnt get low low 11's or high 10's, then you are doing something wrong. Shit even Craig Paisley's supra ran something like 8.14, and that was with a stock engine (rods, pistons, cams, etc). So that video really didnt mean anything at all...

There is a joke we have: Besides being a Supra, what is the 1 main thing that a 400hp supra, a 500hp supra, and a 600hp supra have in common??

The answer after a few guesses.

They spin it all away on the launch? *shrugs* Thats the only thing I can think of... after reading guys posts on supraforums.com, it seems they all can't get a good launch...

Anyways... whats the answer?

Thumbs down okay.....

okay...if you think your 91-whatever cor(ooh look at me i've got a)vette is any kind of fast.. think again. yeah i am all into imports, as i just bought an eclipse gs-t, but all this sstarted with my chevy 72-nova 6.0L Piece of frickin-fastness. 1320 in 11.3 and my goal now is to beat that with my eclipse (probably not going to happen) and seriously if you wanted to buy a fast car...why a vette? all they are are compensations for small cocks.....sorry

Thats pretty sad. Its usually people who cant afford something that make comparisons like that.

actually... shes not stripped at all Just isnt a fat toad!

Street legal....hmmmm Yes! Unfortunately for the Unsuspecting Saps who want to race. Too bad for me, Im hardly out in the car because welll running a car on 91 octane with a 18 gallon tank... averaging about hmmm 8mpg or so.. It gets a tad expensive.

1/4 times... Dont know, havent been yet!
But with some educated estimates from a friend who built his own Bracket racing Dragster... and that Gtec Pro gizmo, and my friends 70 Camaro (about 300lbs heavier) running low 13s. Which i make more power more torque and im lighter.... The Nova should run.... 12's to say the least... maaaayyybbbeee touch into the 11's ... who knows! Wont till I get it to the track!

When shes finished, She'll be tested properly at the Track. You can be sure i'll post the time slips!

Your obviously real mature, actually i bought a vette cause i like them, probably the same reason you bought an eclipse, so grow up a little bit. Your the kind of person that gives every other enthusiest a bad name.
