Default Who's car is this...Turbo T/A vs Turbo Supra

This was filmed on Monday by one of my friends in So.Fla. Well he told me there was a few rwhp difference in the cars. The T/A having more rwhp. I'm curious to know what happened there?

Just because he made 1000whp doesn't mean he is running at those levels. If he is on pump and conservative boost he could be much lower. It all depends on what fuel he is running and how much boost. Turbo cars are scalable.

I didn't watch the video as I'm at work, but was he manual or auto? Makes a big difference with turbo cars.

Sorry but that trans am is nowhere near 1000rwhp

Using the street lights as guide I have been in a 750rwhp foxbody which pulls twice as fast.

That's what I'd call a one sided race.

Either the Trans Am stepped out of it or it doesn't make 1000whp.

For a TA making 1000whp you would think he'd also have a **** load a torque and at least show some signs of breaking the rear loose. Hell I only make 585wtq and the back end gets squirely with MT from a 40-50. I just don't think he is at the claimed 1000whp. You'd think he'd make more of a racket than the supra, but the supra was all I heard. The only thing I can think of is high roll, converter locked, and left it in D.

Supra sounded like an auto to me, usually takes a lot for those guys to stick with an auto.
