what mph are they gonna be racing from, or is it gonna be from a stop? i think the camaro will win, it will ahve alot more usable power band, and make that 1000hp for a longer period of time. along with having more tq throughout the power band.

Since the sky is blue, should I invest in real estate or the stock market?

Of course, we all know there is NO SUCH THING as a slow MKIV, right?

Something is not right, if you say the TA is at 770rwhp, I know usually a T67 supra at 21 psi is probably around 550-600rwhp. The TA should have raped the supra. Either the TA had less horsepower or the Supra was running higher boost. I agree with you about it being an old video, cause a T67 these days on a Supra is considered small. Anyway it was a great video none the less.

I think the supra would win considering the gearing.

Yeah, sorry. Bad attempt at humor. It's not my car. It's old. It's not 1k hp cars going at it. But I agree, great video nonetheless and it never gets old >)

Sorry, I don't have it saved to upload. If someone has it they should though.

1000hp SS vs 1000hp SUPRA... lets see... it all depends on suspension setup and gears and traction also driver... and where you race it... soo many differenct factors.. but from a roll i think itz drivers race..

What a cool thread...


Too bad there's not a 1000hp Supra around VA that I'm aware of 'cause we've got a 1000hp F-body that I'm sure would be down for some friendly runs.

Supra + camera = question answered

There is one being built near me shooting for 900, but where is Mechanicsville? Who has a 1000 hp F-body?

They raced upto 160mph...so that Cobra was obviously putting down some good power!

But, B-MAN is NO WHERE near 1000hp like they're talking about in this post. He's probably in the 600-700rwhp range.
