I dont' like SUpra's myself....would never own one...even if given to me, I'd sell it.
but I will say I can see them as fun dick around cars. And yes, they are over rated, IMO.
ANyone know how much power and weight that high 7s supra has?

Calling a supra worthless is just plain ignorance. They are sure as hell built a lot better than fbodies. See if you can get a stock rear end ls1 to run in the 7's without breaking.

Because all these Supra ricers always claim their cars are "street driven", not race cars. And having a motor that gutless on the street is damn near useless, and just plain embarassing. No street car spends all its time at 5,000RPM+ racing. If I had to rev to 3,000RPM to move my piece of **** Supra out of a parking space I would be ashamed.
Supras are the most overrated and overhyped cars ever, right next to the Skyline. They are nothing more than ricer's wet dreams, yet there is nothing special at all when compared to real cars. Sure you can make a Supra fast, but you can make plenty of other cars fast as well, and for much cheaper and with tons more power and torque.
As for the Supra being the fastest 6 speed car, thats because nobody has tried to beat them. If someone felt like spending the time and money to make an LSX 6 speed car faster than a Supra, it would happen, no two ways about it. Same thing with the Texas mile.
Why the hell would anyone want to turn 9,000RPM when the same power can be made at 6,000RPM?? Thats completely pointless, and just puts tons more stress on the rotating components of the motor and trans. Ricers are the only ones who brag about how high they can rev their motors.

I agree. I don't even like the mentality of the majority of those who drive supras and those types of cars. They all reak of ricer to me imo. Whatever, to each their own.

Anyone wants to know what went down go read; "abuse of power" under the user support and resources section. Rather than talk about an incident that people know nothing about, I figured I'd give some background here. No hard feeling man, it dosn't concern me directly but I do have to read through this type of bs often in order to get to the meat and potatoes of a thread. Gets old fast!

******' grow up and get over it dude! Tired of seeing your whining and hissy fit bs every where I read on here. You gave someone a warning (a long time member in good standing) without merit since it was an accident. Then when everyone politely told you that it was a load of crap and that since it was an accident you should remove it for him on matter of principle, you refused and said "it will be gone in ten 10 days". =tool!!! You got your venting out now let's drop it~please! I understand you are butt hurt and quite frankly you were always fair in my eyes, but if you can't admit to making a mistake and retracting your violation point you wrongfully gave out, than **** on ya,! You are not cut out for a mod anyways if this sort of stuff is bothering you to the point that you take it personally and can't even exercise common sense and better judgement. All you had to do was admit that you were maybe a little out of line (after receiving his explanation) and reverse what you did. But you wouln't do that, the power went to your head, and now it's gone. Sorry bout your luck, maybe someday they'll give you a whirl again but untill then you're sol. Like I said, don't take this as me trying to bash you, i'm just setting the record straight.

you have no idea what it takes to make big power do you. why dont you take a look at what the outlaw 10.5 tire or sso or any other small tire class cars spin the motors too. small block fords and chevy's will see 8,500 rpm give or a take depending on the combo. modular fords is very common to see around 9k rpm. big block chevy and big block fords are very commonly reved to 7500+ rpm.
You could have a fully built, caged, gutted, race fuel, slicks/skinnies, parachute equipped Supra and some ricer moron will always claim "its a street car". None of the Supras anyone has posted about have been anything close resembling street cars.
If you want to talk about race cars, then yes, GM and Ford SB's will commonly turn 8,000+ RPM.

and what is it with the ricers obsession with high rpm's? it doesnt matter how high it revs as long as it makes power where it's revving--- if it pulls 9k but only makes 250hp there then who gives a ****?
