Default "Insane supra" needs to be "stupid driver"

This guy is a freaking tool. He has a Supra with a turbo capable of 1100fwhp and he is getting walked by stock Honda's. The only race he wins is against an 86 Honda Accord and he didn't smoke him nearly as bad as he should of. He literally has to be the worst driver I have ever seen in my life. I know he posted this video thinking that he is badass because the car never hooks but it's one thing to not have traction and another to NOT want traction. Who goes racing with 275/30 tires? Anyone can put some rubberband tires on their car and smoke tires. He's not even trying to feather the throttle to get traction, he is just flooring it out of the hole. He can't launch, he can't shift, he can't roadrace, he can't drag... it's rediculous.

Anyway, check it out, seven minutes of flooring a 1000+hp capable car out of the hole with wheels that wouldn't hook on my Accord:

He was on the race course, wipes out and does a 180, then does donuts and puts other in danger. What an idiot!

I'm telling you, that guy is an idiot. He has no control over the car. And I'm starting to wonder how much power it really has. He didn't seem to be pulling as hard as he should have on the one car he beat. Anyway, whether that car has power or not, it deserves a better owner. Euro ***... was an understatement.

I was showing this video to my buddy and he pointed out that he does actually post a time. 11.65 @116mph. Definitely not 800rwhp.

Reminds me of a local Supra. I guess he has $150k+ into it. On the tech card he said 1500 whp. It is a really nice car, entire engine bay is chrome, body kit etc you name it this car has it except traction. He came to the track and ran on 19" street tires. I was working the starting line and could see a bad run coming. He got the rpms up there and just backfireing (or whatever thats called) on the line when he launched. He gets out about 100 feet decided to let off then gets back on gets sideways again does this all the way down the track. Gets to the end of the track and damn near runs it in the wall. Ran something like a 16-18 (cant remember). Comes back with drag radials little better but still no where near where he should be. And this guy owns some tire business, you would think he could have some good tires.

That was histerical. I think he was more worried about people hearing his BOV than anything.

You can have all the power in the world, but if you can't put it to the ground then it is worthless.

And yea I would be beating his *** if I was ever at a road race and some ****** just starts doing donuts.

I love Supras but most owners care about one thing and one thing only. Big, inflated 1 time run dyno numbers. They then turn down the boost and timing to run it on the street but brag about the power it makes on the dyno. Even though from 0-100 is a 20 second affair. 100-160 on the other hand takes 2 seconds but what good is that. That car does sound sick though. I love the car but hate the owner's and fanboy's mentality.

Two words for that car:

DYNO QUEEN




Gotta love cars that can't ever get traction, bouce off the rev limiter everytime you touch the gas, drink fuel like water, blow up in less than 10K miles, and yet can only manage mid 11's at the strip. Waste of an entire vehicle, it would be better off stock
