Re: Is this the quickest sUpRa?

This was posted before. Nice vid though, and fast car. I think i'm beginning to think that they are overrated though.

Re: Is this the quickest sUpRa?

No. I've always wanted one, especially before they became an icon. It just seems like there's alot of dudes doing a circle J$%K over the cars in general. There's always an excuse when one loses too, it seems.

Re: Is this the quickest sUpRa?

i think i remember a supra in the 7's, and it wasnt that one

i wouldnt call em overated, they just have too much attention

the strength of that engine(what it can handle) is amazing to me
they are some baddass cars

but i'm nt coming down on your opinion, just stating mine

I do believe it has some awesome potential. I just think alot of other engines are over looked by it, like the RB26DETT. It seems like it's the most sought after Japanese engine, and that alot of other vehicles engines are not acknowledged as much. Know what I mean?

Trust me I loved the car before I knew what it could really do. I'm a fan of it's styling.

Re: Is this the quickest sUpRa?

I didn't even watch teh vid, but if this is the one that was posted on 3si, that is now on ebay. No, there are at least 2 faster ones.

Re: Is this the quickest sUpRa?

I like the Supra's, but personally I remember that when I really didn't know very much about cars (not alot has changed) I would always hype the Supra because it was the one I knew

and I find people who still don't know squat about cars talk about Supras...

Its like people who don't know baseball talk about the Yankees...Everybody knows them, but they aren't the best!






















My Blue Jays are!

Re: Is this the quickest sUpRa?

I recall a Supra from the NOPI "Tunervision" last year at Virginia Motorsports Park going like 7.70s over 185. Seems to me, the Supra was the fastest/quickest in NOPI.

Who ever said Supra was an "icon"? It's just another Jap car... But with the proper application of parts and chassis work, that little 6 can MAKE some power! Of course, it must be kept "in perspective". A Camaro, built at the same level (chassis) with the same amount of dollars invested in a 502, would go some LOW 7s... And do it for most or all of a season, rather than about 10 passes.

Jim
