Default First kill...a good one

Cruisin over to Neo Tokyo to meet up some friends when I see a Supra ahead. I take a right and follow him on a deserted street. Pull up next to him give him the nod and we're off. We started from about a 40 roll. I thought I was going to get raped. I was wrong. I got a slight jump, and I pulled SLIGHTLY through 3rd. We shut it down at about 100 I'd say for an incoming curve. His bumper was probably at my rear tire.

When he started getting to the top of the gears I heard the turbos spool since he was on my left. I was just thinking oh ****, but he never caught up. He pulled over, said he had a little exhaust and was running 8lbs on the stock twins. It was a 96 auto. Felt good being in a M6.

On a side note when we were shooting the ****, some old man came up and asked what year the Supra was and said 'nice car.' I just laughed. PS The only mods i have are lid and Shitmaster catback.

supras came with tt stock? damn where did i miss out on this in my 4 years of owning fbods and hating supras... hell i thought they had one turbo...

i ran a supra with a upgraded turbo system.. or so he said, had a blow off valve and made a lot of very loud turbo noises tho lol.. anyways he also had a 75 shot on it as well i think if anything to help him get some power off the line. well i put a tnt 100 shot in and the mods at the top of my sig and ran him from a dig on the street, i walked him out of the hole by about 2-3 cars and he never pulled back! this supra had trapped 12.0 at 120 and ive never ran my car on a 100 shot but trapped slightly more on a 150 is all..
MY point is- next time u run that supra, screw the 40mph roll.. if u can hook up run him from a dead stop and u will prolly be able to get a jump on him if u held him off up top! basically i think it would be a even better outcome from a stop for you!
