10.2 supra on street tires at the end. Also there are some trans ams and camaros if you watch the video for awhile. Mostly little asians in imports though. Good vid.
LOL this vid is against a C5 Z06. Only 405 hp, not the 505 hp monster in the other vid.

Yeah the Z06 guy can't drive either, the Supra only got a 12.7 the Z should've kept up.

You lost me. What does a busted turbo have to do with needing a new engine? I'm on my 4th turbo. Same engine.

Posting random youtube videos is useless IMO. . unless you were there or own one of the vehicles then you honestly have no idea what any of the cars setups were, or the conditions of the races or the drivers. . pretty much nothing. I'm sure I can find a video of a gremlin beating a c6z or a supra if I wanted. . I guess that means gremlins are faster than both.

Your the first person I've known that has blown a turbo that didn't take the intake and heads with it.

My buddies SRT four also didn't blow the motor when his turbo took a ****. He just sent it in and got it rebuilt. 50 trim, ball bearing. Don't know the exact specs on it though.

Maybe my buddies just had **** luck, but the bearings pulled a swordfish (bearings annihilated the engine block), twice on his mustang. I just assumed that was the norm.

That is crazy. Wasn't just block splitting from the power, like boost spike due to bad wastegate?

302 block? Or mod motor. I hear the 302s are notorious for splitting blocks past a certain hp. And if the wastegate stayed open....boom.

LOL. Well I think anything over 500 it was, splits the blocks in half. Ask stopsign...I think he has experience with this lol.

Heh, I've only known the one guy with the turbo, nobody in KY has the money to waste on them. This guy and one other guy I used to work with had 92/93? Saleens, they were very low on the production numbers too, so they're going to be classics. Well at least the one that never went kapoot.

I'm going to hope that you are just trying to get a rise out of people, and not actually serious.

as bad as i hate to say it i think he is 100% serious, and in no way am i agreeing with him, i personally think supra's are BA, i wouldnt prefer to huge wing, but they are still some sweet *** rides, just happens to be that alot of people who own them are tools and buy them for the status symbol and are not true enthuisiasts concerned with hp per dollar, or 1/4 mile times. but merely having a car that they think can burn every car on the road.

I am just trying to get a rise. But pnyklr said it right there are quite a few tool sheds that drive them and think they can decimate all,just like some mustang and camaro owners

I see what you're saying now. Turbos go bad in a multitude of ways. Sounds like you're talking about catastrophic failures (i.e. grenading turbos). Those kind of failures can definitely wreak serious havoc downstream.
