Default Got killed by a Supra

Was driving home and seen a supra so i said why not give it a shot since i never got to race one before. It had exhaust and a gauge pod but no wing on the back so i thought i had a chance. I was in 3rd at about 70mph and both hit it at the same time and he took off like i was standing still by the time i shifted into 4th he had about 4 cars and counting on me.

A Toyota Supra is a amazing car. Once they are modded you might aswell give it up if your going from a roll.

What mods do you have done on the Z28?

A Supra is one of my favorite cars... Thought about getting one a few times.

Nice death. It's always good to lose every now and again to keep you wanting more mods.

Advanced Performance Upgrades (I believe thats correct).. yeah.. usually these are the guys that hunt down modded vipers and put train lengths on the normally "fast" cars out there.

yeah most supra can make 600 rwhp before having to build the bottom end and some have made even close to a thousand. I say get a cam and a 150 shot and go from a 25 roll and you'll probably hang with him. if you dont hang at least youll be faster.

Dam Supras. Oh well. Race him from a dig and the odds are in your favor. I'm not much of a high speed person so Supras don't appeal to me. Sure they can be fast in the 1/4 but the cost? I'm usually so poor I can't even pay attention.

i just raced a supra last night. it is the same supra that i raced before i was untuned and now the only thing he claims is new on the car is the intercooler. i know he has boosted more so we did it from like a 25mph and as soon as i punched it i was half a car ahead of him all the way to about 110mph where he passed me. those who told you that a cam is enough are lying because the supra when boosted traps alot higher than a ls1. from a high mph roll it will always be their race and you will indeed need a really strong car with heads and cam etc. however, they will always and i mean always reel you in because their top end is disgusting. i have raced this same supra 5 times and i am always ahead til about 100-110mph. once i am there, he passes me.
