Default Look what I found tonight



Limited edition twin turbo supra. Even had the "SUP TT" license plate. No, I wasnt stupid enought to try to chase this guy down. I got up to him and gave him a thumbs up, he went to take off and I heard the turbos spool and the car just blew my doors off. Quite awesome really.

There's about 5 single digit Supra's in town here. I see them all the time, still cool to come across them though. One of the local guys has the fastest twin turbo Supra, with VIPRKLR plates guess what he likes to race. He goes to there meetings just to harass them. The guy put down 800+rwhp with no giggle gas.

700 to 800 is about the lower average of supras around here... we had three 1000 rwhp players just ******* around with us and a few turbo busas...

needless to say we had a good time that night and had some good film

Ya, that 800+ is just for the twin turbo, we have 4 more that arein the 1000+ range. I'm pretty sure all are street driven too.

If I had the kind of $$ to have an 800+rwhp Supra TT, I would definitely not put one of those big ugly fart can's out back. I'd do a custom dual exhaust with normal size stainless dual dual tips both to the right and left side like on my WS6. Or maybe even some type of custom center exhaust like some Saleens, vettes and SS's have. Maybe its just me but I think that big single pipe on that car screws up the looks on an otherwise very slick car.

I'd definently use a custom exhaust that didnt look like that. I wouldnt call a 800 horsepower anything rice, I dont care if it is using EAT AT JOE'S signs for under lights.

Doing a custom dual exhaust setup on a supra would look just as dumb as using two "fart cans" for the exhaust on your WS6.

WTF are you talking about? That makes no sense. Why would making the exhaust actually look nice/respectable on the Supra somehow look "dumb??" You think dual exhaust setups with down to earth sized piping, tips looks dumb?? Does the rear exhaust on a BMW M5 look dumb??And how in the world would that equate to me putting fart cans on my WS6??

Are you saying Supra's are supposed to have big fart can and would look stupid with anything else?? Thats idiotic.

A single big fart can looks dumb on anything IMO.
