9.41 @ 157.56 mph - Titan Motorsports/SupraStore.com Orlando

This car is a 6 speed and is on drag radials with NO nitrous, how much power must this car be making on turbo, like 1000 hp?

Wow! I wonder what it would run on 94 octane in full street trim? Supras are impressive for sure!

I'm sure that this Supra has an extremely expensive clutch but it's just amazing that it et's that good on drag radials.

But the other one was using a direct port NOS setup and still broke.

157mph @ 2900 lbs is like 150mph at 3500 so I am still very impressed that is just on turbo... kind of like Speedway Bill's old C4.

and which one could you drive around and have fun on the street with?

me and you might have different opinions here and i'm not knocking the titan car its a purpose built race car for a "street class" thats how most end up anyway. The Titan car is dead on ***** fast no doubt about it, i just dont think it is very practical thats all.

i think it is more impressive to take a very streetable supra and beat an all out race supra and that is just what marko did.

if he didn't lift the gasket you are easily looking at a 9.5 for that car or better and the titan car has gone 9.4

The Titan car got tree'd but not a lot of folks can shift a full clutch car (not Jericho) and run a low 9 at almost 160mph... Just think what that car could do on a slick, high 8 second pass with a manual transmission!

I'm impressed with both cars, but almost 160mph on drag radials with a stick is much more impressive.

The Supra belongs to the owner of Titan Motorsports, his name is Niro. I guess he finally did the $25,000 engine upgrade he had been talking about for years.

I remember a while back when the would run 11.7 @ 131 MPH 1.7 60' once that car hit the 1/8th it was like a bullet.

Last time I saw the car it had full interior, custom sound system and DVD.

Next time I'm at the track I'll take a look at the car and see if it is gutted or not.

Damn now I have to get an ARE 422 LS1 with a direct port kit to beat him <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

CHRISPY

Running 160mph on drag radials is insane in the membrane if you ask me LOL!
Cheers,

Both cars are impressive for sure... that mph is just insane. The 6-speed in the car is stock, not a aftermarket tranny, and the driveshaft is ~$1500. The shortblock is completely stock also, and the car is gutted. The auto car is more impressive to me also, even tho he is using nitrous... but having full interior/stereo/ect is very cool. Too bad the auto car got DQ'd because of having a 10.00 rollbar.

Big boost + any motor = fast

As long as they'll hold together. There's some guy out there with a K-car running low 10s and looking for 9s this year. The motor has a stock bottom end.

a nine second k car, on a stock bottom end.....

<img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" />

i'll drink to that! that would be a hoot to see run.

mattf2

A 9 second K car..

Now that's impressive! I think saw the one you're talking about. He was running low 10's at Cecil.

I just have to ask 1 question. Why?

Abdulla

<img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Shaman

Why? It's cheap, fun, and he doesn't have to care much about the car.

I saw a fast Supra last Friday at Pacific Raceways(SIR) He was really fast untill he went to the left, then cut back to the right at a 90 deg angle, and hit the wall at about 120 mph. He moved 6 jersy barriers 6 ft. Luckily his air bags deployed and he lived, minus his $50K+ car.

FastMover

From what I have heard Titan payed close to 5G's for the clutch setup. They have over $1000 in hose clamps alone. The guy that drives the car is their head mechanic. his name is Mark. he had a right hand drive Silvia he was able to get into the states through the military. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> The car is gutted. The car spins the tires through first hits second and takes off like a jet. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

It is a bad *** car to see run.

Update: 9.002 @ 160.40 mph at HPR. Still BFG's and no nos.

Shaman

He was using a 75hp shot of nitrous, actually.

Nero

Thanks Richie for the gracious comments.

The car uses a Tilton Tripple Carbon Clutch with a stock tranny and a $1500 ACPT Carbon Fiber Driveshaft.

The car can on occasion be seen on the streets but its mainly built to be a drag car now. The DVD got tossed as well as a few other things because there's no room in the car for it. We replaced it with gauges and lots of other gizmo's.

The car will still go faster, can't wait to meet some of the local FL LS1 guys at the track, its been a long time since we've met up.
