600hp blown/sprayed C5 vs. 650hp supraTT 32lbs seq. tranny
Who will win? Some dude set me up with this race. Just thought I'd get some feedback first, I'll run him regardless, but just wanted to know what to expect. The vette: around 600hp with ati procharger, catback, and 75 shot of nitrous. The supra: around 650hp with twin turbos, 32lbs of boost, lots of bolt ons, and a sequential transmission. (thats all i really know about it). What are your thoughts?

Damn, not the responses I expected. I thought everyone would say I would get killed. I did 170 in the vette like 2 weeks after I got it, bone stock. The dude trying to set me up with this race thinks I'm going to get killed. He wants to show me what turbo cars are all about.

I think you will win regardless, roll or dig. My friends frc vette with H/C around(420hp) beat a 700whp mkIII world record holder from a role. If you can drive which by reading your post I know you can.

I agree go from a dig, and you should rip him apart without much of a problem. A roll will be alittle harder, but according to dontrevme (who we know is usually right on ...) you would be able to handle him with 150 less hp from a roll also ....

i dunno you said sequential tranny in the supra? Never heard of this other than in full on race cars but i'm figuring automatic. I'm good friends with quite a few supra owners and know that an auto supra with over 600 hp=LOW LOW 10 sec quarters easy.
If its a 6 spd run him from a dig and hope he can't drive. You get a few cars on him early you should be fine but i've realized that alot of supra owners like to "underquote" their cars. So I hate to say it dude but don't be surprised if he pulls you up top.
What scares me is who ever is telling you about the car is changing things. If its over 600 hp its not TT its gotta have a good size single.
The supra community is pretty tight tell me your location and the guy with the supras name and i'll see if i can get some more info off supra forums about him as i wanna see the LS1 pull out on top.

If everyone is straight up with their power the Vette should take the Supra. The Vette will definitely win from a dig. A roll race should be pretty close.

I know the guy has a lot of money and just put in a sequential tranny. I don't know for sure the hp, but I'd be pretty confident saying 650, 700 max. I'm not sure about the twin turbo part, it may be a sinlge, I just thought I heard someone say it was twin. The guy lives in Asheville, or Mills River, near the asheville airport, his name is mike smith, and he owns some kind of shop.

Killervette,
Did u go to Hendersonville High School? I pulled up beside you on Four Seasons in my NBM Camaro SS and u asked what exhaust I had on if that was you. Are u running that procharger and 75 shot on stock rear end? Have you done any internal work to your car?
I think I know what Supra your talking about. Its white and has a ghey *** wing on it. I drive by their shop every once in a while up in Mills River. I have no idea how fast it is though.
