As for this race, that Supra got his *** handed to him. Plain and simple.
Harlan's car is street legal and runs low 8's @ around 170. What's the fastest street legal Supra run?

Harlan's car has a PARACHUTE on the back of it. You consider that street legal? Harlan's car is a race car, it is not a street car anymore.

"Harlan's car has a PARACHUTE on the back of it. You consider that street legal? Harlan's car is a race car, it is not a street car anymore"

I have a driveshaft loop.. Am I a race car? A safety feature shouldn't count against the streetability of a car. Harlan could easily pull it off FWIW: The fastest car on drag radials is an f-body. 7.66 (Rick Head)

Ok.... Well he has a stock frame, full interior and has lights. The car is STREET LEGAL. He could yank it off if he wanted. Only reason to have a chute is to slow down in the small space you have.

Alright, Harlan's car is definately an exception. However, that is just ONE car. There is an entire Supra club here with a handfull of cars fast enough that Nitrous/Turbo Hayabusa's have a hard time keeping up with.

I am not going to continue sticking up for Supras on a damn LS1 board when I drive an LS1, but saying "Supra's Suck" is a dumbass thing to say. Maybe not somebody's cup of tea, but definately some of the fastest street cars on the planet and the ONLY import i'd ever drive.

Im done

I like Supra's and RX7's. especially LS1 RX7s. I was considering getting a Supra at one time till I saw the price. If those cars sold for about 30K then they'd be great buy.

The nice thing is their stock bottom end can handle a lot of hp. They can spray huge shots w/o a problem.

Yeah, well just goes to show you why the price is so high for them. Make an LS1's bottom end the same way and it will be the same result.... handling lots of HP.

I'm a big Supra fan.. but in the long run cubic inches will prevail.

Peace,
