Default SS VS Supra

Was at the local crusie area last night,when the newest body style turbo supra pulled next to me.Guy gave me a look like im not worth his time.So we come to a light I let him know I want a piece,we slow down to 20 mph roll and on three honks we go I pulled 2 cars in like a second and shut it down.He came up to me and wanted no more whoppin from me.Did not find out his mods definetly had exhausht and blow off valve.My mods H/C and bolt on here and there and everywhere.

Nice kill, some people need to be schooled. I had A guy in a new 350Z(still had DMV stickers on it), look at me like that yesterday while I was in my 01 Camaro, I let him punch it and then I do the same, I put about five car's on him and shut down,he would'nt even look at me after that.

Good kill. You never let the supra reach its full potential though.. I beat a single turbo supra. I pulled him hard in the beginning, and I held it all the way to 150mph... but it got closer as we went faster.

i wouldnt say its at its weak spot, stock twin supras have a pretty descent power band, but stock they cant hold a candle to h/c ls1....

i would say if you really wanted to see what turbo supra's can do, go from a highway roll.

either way.....

Yeah, on the freeway, if the guy's got anything going, he'd show you a nice run. Way to surprise him, though, but don't get cocky, Supras can be pretty fast.

350Zs... that's another story, especially a stocker. 350z guys think they just scored the Japanese equivelant of a Porsche GT2 or something! I beat the crap outta one on the top-end and even in twisties in my broke-*** old LT1 putting out about 320hp/370tq.
