Hey QuickSilver. I'm not going to get in on a debate with you. It is obviuos, you have know clue what your talking about.

Well, I’m sure I have plenty to learn (that’s what actually makes me an intelligent productive person). It’s people like you with your tunnel vision who really have “no clue”. Perhaps you should learn how to spell and use proper grammar before you come on an LS1 specific board to school us all on the superiority imports.

It’s funny, I actually think that Supras are great cars and respect what they are capable of, but it’s the attitude of you import supremacist that drives me and everyone else here nuts.

Hey, I’ll admit that there are some great imports out there, why in the heck can’t you guys just admit that there are also some seriously bad *** domestics out there too.

Well, different strokes for different folks, but please don’t force your one sided views on us. I’m sure there are plenty of import boards where you can talk trash about the domestics and pretend you have the best car in the world.

I’m sorry this has digressed to this level. I’ll shut up from this point forward and try to keep this board focused on what it was originally setup for.

I assume when you are talking about this "supra punk" you are referring to "cubicinches" because I have never made a statement that Supras are the best. I have stated that I feel both are great cars. Regardless...as you said this thread has been entertaining.

You are correct i am calling you a punk. But only for the reason to get you going and hoping for more of a show. I dont see how those supras can be made fast. So little . little tinny motor. little wheels, little drivers. little horse power....

That is a funny statement coming from a riced out LT1 with a LS1 nose. LS1 wannabe huh??? How far did you have to chase the Honda to get those wheels or did he race you for your stock wheels and won? Or did someone just punk you out and take your wheels?

And what is really a joke, the two that are all over the Supra owner is, both owners have their engines out of the cars on their webpage. If my engine was sitting on an engine stand I would not talk about person's car that is up and running.


You all keep it up, cause every post is good for a laugh.

yes indeed. To bad the rims are long gone(sold them to an ricer) and the motor was put back into the car months ago. But thanks for taking some time to visit my web site. I liked the way the new front end looks on the ls1 so i took it. You dont see any supra parts on my car cause they suck. The one thing i find funny is how you mention us being all over supra owners. I dont see to many on this post. Just you posting up info on other supras.

OMG! Thats the ugliest POS I have seen in awhile. Dude what where you thinking when you put those rims and paint job on the car.

Are you sure you sold those rims to an import? I highly doubt the width of those rims could fit any front wheel drive car unless there 17*7.

I bet you have air bags too, to go along with the neon lights. Hey have you thought about a 100 spoke? Those would look really cool on your car.

Why would you need any supra parts on your car dumb ***? You are a discrace. Get out of here.

You idiot. You can't put 275 on a 17*7 inch tire. No freakin way.

What does it matter what I drive. If you search, you could find out that I drive an 03 cobra.

I've driven 1100hp camaros, 600hp talons, 600 mr2's, and tuned 700hp supras. So what have you driven that can even compare to those.

That was close! In the United States, periods and commas that come after a quoted phrase or sentence are placed inside the quotation marks. ("no clue.") Other punctuation marks are placed inside or outside the quotation marks according to the logical placement.

Placing periods and commas outside the quotation marks is the British way of doing things.

(...if we're talking about learning, spelling, and proper grammar...where's that old thread about this? I have plenty that I wish to discuss. These boards are HORRIBLE when it comes to this!)

For one if you want to get technical with the mpg and efficiency, how much per liter does a z06 make compared to lets say a 1.8 liter integra typeR. 111 to what 74.5. So you would need to put put atleast another 200hp to even compete with the hp per liter equation.
Go figure someone would bring something like this up. Sorry man, but only ricers start bitching about HP per litre. Who cares how efficient an engine is. The true comparison between cars is power-to-weight ratio...BOTTOM LINE. Who cares if a 1.8 has 200 HP, what do Integra's do in the 1/4 again?

Also can you tell me why Lingenfelter and Edlebrock have merged with major import companies? Is it becuase they see the potential in modifying 4 cyl? Doesn't there 4 cly run 8's? With over 800hp. 400 hp per liter. hmmmm. They don't seem to have any problems making it.
The big boys aren't going to imports because of potential. They're business men, and they're going where the money is. Even if it defies their heritage, they work with ricers because the market is rocketing, sadly.

On another note, a 427cid turbocharged stroker put down only 745hp compared to some supras with the same 3.0 liter(stock displacement). How much is there twin turbo kit. 60,000 not including the car. PLEASE! Don't give me any BS on how its street legal and passes emmisions ****. I could build a supra 9 sec supra for a 1/10 of that.
First off, the tubro setup is $50,000. Second, who cares if you can get a car into the 9s cheaper. It's great, don't get me wrong, but how reliable is it? I'm sure it's not bad, but you have to remember Lingenfelter has a great product, PLUS it's all warrenteed. You never see any of his stuff takin a sh*t.

03 cobra Your a joke. ask anyone on this bd and they will tell you that you can run that tire if you choose its just not to safe. I see that you say you have driven all of these super cars. I know it is bs casue your just a little *** with a little pony.You remind me of that old kids song advertisment MY LITTLE PONY AND ME. What do i have that can even compare to what you drive??? like i said why dont you come to the leicester speed way in NY and find out.

If you have not read my initial posts, I clearly stated I worked for a tuning company in Canada. IF we work on them, should we be able to test drive them smart ***. I'm through going back and forth with you. Your logic is worthless! Any person who puts tires on there car knowing they won't fit( as you clearly stated) is a complete IDIOT. Your brain is the size of mosquito *****, are should I say, the hampter dead but the wheel is still spinning

Well 96SCTA, I've driven many cars that would blow those out of the water.....every single one of them. So don't get all high and mighty about what you've driven before. Because I garantee that many others on this board have driven better cars as well. I've driven some that will hand those cars their asses in the curves and in a straight line. Please don't bore us anymore with your stupid comments. If you don't believe me, your not too terribly far away. I can meet you anytime. With something to smack you down with.

That is a point I have trying to drive about small engine with high horsepower. It take alot of money to get any car to go fast, but the smaller motor crowd like the Supra requires more maintenance. The HP-per-Litre ratio is always the worst way to compare power to engines. A 200-hp 2.0L Honda motor is 100-hp/L and a LS1, 345-hp, 5.7L is 60hp/L, but why can I run low 13s/ upper 12s and the honda is lucky to break into the 14s. Also, if you want to compare a motor built for boost, look at Mopar's SRT-4 competiting in the Sport Compact NHRA. It has a 2.5L, T-88 turbo, and 2200lbs weigh-in that crank about 800-hp. Now, he has to change head gaskets and valve springs every few runs. He runs 40psi of boost with 11.5 compression. Now, to me that take a ton of money.

I tell you what. If anyone wants to give me some money to build a 7-second, streetable, pump-gas, stock suspension, full interior, air-to-air intercooler, and stock looking, let me know.
