A buddy's '97 Supra single turbo (all stock engine): unbelievable Since the site appears not to have an "other cars" section, I guess I'll post this in here and hope I don't dent any feelings. As we're from north central IL.
I plan on running my friend's Supra (listed below) at its low boost setting of 14psi and hope I have a decent chance to keep up in my heads/cam/intake/headers 2000 Vette. But I still see getting my *** kicked even with the Supra at 14psi because it probably makes 450whp or more.
So a close friend of mine got his '97 Supra w/ 61mm single turbo back from Sound Performance and thought to share it. The car has a completely 100% stock motor and top-end, from the throttle body to the oil pan. Upgrades are a single Precision 61mm turbo upgrade, exhaust system, Sound Performance E85 fuel system & ProEFI stand-alone computer, tuned by Sound Performance. Running E85 @31psi the car put down 667whp on the rollers. I'm amazed myself at the numbers its making with a completely stock engine, head and cams.
And not to mention the car currently has a handicap. The header is not big enough to run it to max rpm's due to a thing called "boost creep", which I can not explain exactly.

No doubt, 700-900hp stock bottom end Supra's aren't uncommon. His car is also doing it with no head work, stock cams, stock intake and stock throttle body. These motors are badass.
He hasn't been to the track with it yet. He's not going to until he gets solid rear mounts, drag radials and a bigger turbo manifold to rid of the "boost creep", so he can run high boost and rev the motor to redline.
The car pulls like crazy, its almost mind-blowing if you're not use to it. He has good street tires on it now, but just the other day the car was breaking loose in 4th gear at almost 100mph. And completely destroys my R6 in a race, obviously.

Stock block 2JZ's are pretty amazing. There's a few 700+ whp cars in the Chicagoland area and they've held together for years at those power levels.

My car isn't done yet. Once it is, we'll be out on the weekends occasionally.

I'm in Mendota everyday, but never make it to L-P. They like to fight too much over there.
Only sports cars I've seen around are GT's. There's a Red H/C T/A that would give that Supra a decent run though...
Regardless, that car sounds incredible and I'm sure it's a blast.

Most are street cars and the 6 speeds rule the highways. The stock 6 speed can also handle a ton of power while the stock auto can't (all the automatic high hp Supras have powerglides or TH400s in them).
