Default Congrats to SW, new 6-spd record 8.49 @ 172.7

No, this isn't an LS1 powered car, but still an awesome time for a 3,600 lb car with a factory 6-spd manual and independent rear axle.

The nitrous is just used to spool the big turbo up prior to launching, most of the time.

Yeah Viper ran 7.95@182mph If I'm not mistaken.

But the Supra is mean to run those times with factory rear and trans.

haha you mean BEFORE the 91mm... One of the SP cars uses a 250shot just to spool one of their retardly large frame turbos and shuts off at a certain boost level. Otherwise he said, the turbo doesnt fully spool till mid second gear (6 speed car)

Not to take anything away from a 7 second car, because that is an accomplishment regardless... but when one of the lsx world people put 2 power adders on a race car we get **** about it, I just find it amusing that in the supra world that is perfectly normal.

Pretty impressive. That thing really squats on the launch and the shifts. I wonder if it would run a better time if it didn't do that so much? If you compare that to Joe Hunycutt's car their is a huge difference.
