So the other night I was cruising some of the local hangout spots... and I come across some guys standing around a Supra I had raced before. When I raced him before it was not the owner of the car driving, but a friend of his everyone told me could drive better then the owner.. so I took their word for it. We lined them up twice that day from a stop, with me raping the supra through first gear... and ending up with 4-5 car lengths at 110.

Now... fast forward to the other night.... all his friends are around his car egging him to race me once again, I agree and we start to set the terms. I had a friend of mine with me... 270 lbs.. and myself.. 270.. so I was a bit weighted down. The supra had the driver, 150 or so lbs, and a friend of his.. also about the same weight. So we were weighing in a bit heavier.

We head back to the same spot we raced before... I chose not to heat up my nittos,, they are completely bald now but they tend to hook decent, atleast from a 25 or so punch.. from a stop I soon found out they no longer hook at all, especially when they are not heated up.

Instead of honking the supra held 3 fingers out the window, counted down... I was trying to lean across my friend to see, but the supra ended up getting the jump, and I went on his movement. I tried to launch around 3k, and the tires went straight up in smoke , I pushed it to the floor hoping they'd end up hooking, and all I did was crawl on the rev limiter... backing out of it, grabbing second, with the supra already 3 cars ahead, I pulled one car through second, go to hit third and it jams horribly.. *stock clutch, 2000 car with 52k miles *

Supra wins..

Second race... we BS around for 10 or so minutes and head back... we line up once again, this time I decide to launch a little lower, hoping to be able to grab traction and keep up in first gear. Supra once again does the 3 finger countdown, I go on his move... we launch, I launched at 2700 or so and it spins for half a second, and bogs down to 2k I stay in it and run out first gear, with the supra having about 3 cars through first gear. I powershift second and leave it buried, and the Supras lead begins to fall away. Slam third, it actually went into gear this time and I begin the third gear Ls1 pull... I pull my headlights all the way back up to the back of his door, and hit fourth, I pull my headlights all the way back up to the back of his front fender, and we have to let up for an upcoming railroad track... about 115-120 mph. I believe if we had ran out fourth gear I would have been infront of him.. but leaving on his move, having my big *** and my friends big *** in the car, and grabbing no traction with nittos tends to suck major ***.

nice runs, now go get some meat on them bones and smoke 'im again!

 

Hey sounds like some good runs, a hell of alot better then racing a Neon. Supra's are respectable cars, just need get them tires though and show them who is boss.

 

Yea.. I noticed after the runs I now have braided white lines showing in the middle of my nittos , atleast on the driver side... so I better order some new ones this week

I wanted to go from a 30 punch, since I was pulling the Supra in 3rd and fourth, I figure from a punch where I get traction, its all over. Who knows..

Heres a little video of my car from 30, you have hear it bog when I hit third and fourth, I guess thats just from the stock clutch and hydraulics?

Why didn't you tell your friend to get out just for the race? Might have made a difference. Anyway, good death.

 

nice death, go get 'em next time!

 

I believe I was a bit overconfident from when I had raped the Supra before...

 

Respectable deaths due to your traction fault.....I dont know about taking him for to long in fourth....Supra's are known for there extreme top end....BPU's on a Supra run it to 450hp, which will run it OVER 300kph...Like just over 200mph....If you ever get a chance to see or have ever seen get away in stockholm, at the end the Supra is shown posting over 300KPH.....That is fast....Good runs, and get that ****** next time!!

 

Geez... another old *** thread brought back to life...

 

Holy crap stop raising the dead!

 

wow... look at the date...

 

Come on guys, its not that old.

 

its about as old as your mom, fruitcake.
