Yeah pretty much. I can scan a copy of the time slip. We were racing for ET. If I'm correct he dumped close to $18k in his t/a I remember he did engine work, exhaust and suspension upgrades for close to $10k then the follower summer or 2 summers later he did more engine work and got a 12 bolt rear end b/c he said his car has too much power for the 10 bolt rear end. I'm not exactly sure what kind of engine work but I think he got cams, upgrade some kind of springs so that it revs higher, port/polish and a tune. He got it dynoed and pushed close to 398 HP to the wheels.
Yeah you would imagine with close to $18k of mods he'd be running low 11's. but no. Well, believe it or not before he upgrade his tires he was running 13's. I told him to get Nitto DRs and after he did he ran high 12's. He was so happy that day until I whopped his ***.
You guys here know T/A's more then I do. with 398HP and high 12's. It has to be the driver. My Supra is putting out way less HP to the wheels (320HP) and it's running much faster on street tires.
I'm not talking bad about T/A's. They are great cars WITH the RIGHT DRIVER.

), and DR's for whatever they cost. That right there should be 390+, and trapping anywhere from 112-116 cam and tune depending. Hell...$1000 for install, and $500 for tune...that still comes out to a total of less than $4000, installed, on a budget build. Guy doesn't know wtf he is doing, or is just the worse driver imaginable, even by my standards.

You do know that a LS1 has A cam right.

This is bs +1000k I have never seen a intake and exhaust supra trap 120, Unless those parts where purchase off of Ebay along with their 1/4 mile timing gear and that supra fuel that gives you 100 hp and 10 more psi with out a boost controler.
Nice read for rookie eyes and supra nut swingers.....

I have a 1994 Toyota Supra Turbo and I raced a 2002 Trans Am W6 at atco raceway this summer. The first race I had a good launch but towards the end I back off the gas. I did this on purpose to let the TA ower build up his ego and talk all the smack he wanted. The next race I told him, okay this race I'm gonna go all out. He's standing there telling me how I'm gonna lose b/c I don't have a downpipe installed, boost controller installed, no tune and most importantly I didn't put on my Nitto tires. He said he never backed off the gas any one of his races.
Just when it was about to rain we raced down the drag strip and I whopped his ***. I remembered when I was making my pass I looked over. Oh man, I wished I had the look on his face on video. He had this biggest dumbfound look ever. After we got out of our cars it was as if I stole that smile right off this face. He was pissed and called me a douchebag. So I asked "why am I a douchebag". he replied "b/c i tell you everything i've done to my car and you don't tell me anything you did to yours". I replied "What before the race I let you look under my hood and trunk, what else you want to know"?.
Then he made up an excuse. "Oh, my A/C was on". okay what does your AC have to do with this race. I still whopped you.
Then he made up the worst excuse ever. "When we raced there was a big red truck in front of us so I backed off the gas". lamo excuse b/c I remembered making my pass and there was no big red truck in sight. Even if there was a big red truck I should've been the one slowing down since I was in the lead and going much faster then he was. My car was trapping at 120 MPH when he was only doing 109.
Come on, I think that is the worst excuse ever. How many times do you go drag racing and when you cross the 1/4 mile mark there was another car in your way? LOL.
At least come up with a better excuse like, oh, i missed 7th gear or oh, I forgot to fill up my NOS bottle.
What was the worst excuse you ever heard?

To the OP...I think the worst excuse a car owner can give is to invent a BS story like yours hoping someone would believe it. My best bet is that you got your *** whooped by a TA...
BTW, slips can be altered...

still waiting to see a time slip...actually a video would probably be better. And don't say there isn't one, if you raced at a drag strip, it will be on youtube. Theres probably 500people max including drivers at the track i go to and i still somehow found like 5 people who had videos of my run back when i had my truck....i know cause i had people comin up to me "Hey weren't you the guy who spun tires all the way down the track in that s-10?" hahaha shitty prepped track + staging to 3500 with street tires and no weight in rear=lots of smoke and a 13 second eigth mile pass haha
