My GTO vs Supra TT question?
I know you guys hate this but here it goes.......
How modded of a Supra can I beat? My parts are in my sig, on the spray what can I beat and off the spray what can I beat?
For the record we are talking roll racing from a 50 punch.
The reason I ask is because my buddy knows this dude who has a 97 Supra with an intake, full exhaust, BOV, Boost Controller, cam gears, and a tune.
Would I stand a chance all motor or had I better get the bottle filled?

Are you kiddin' me? You ever ran a Supra? Man you got a badass car but an intake and exhaust ain't gonna let you beat a Supra. Try some Spray and a Tune....and get you a big ol' bumpstick.

I was simply agreeing with the Spray and Tune and then suggesting a nice ol' cam.

No way in hell his car would touch that, not with his mods.

Supras are not fun to race from a roll. Most are already modded, finding a stock one is like finding a stock car on LS1 Tech.
A good medium/large duration cam, full exhaust, and intake will do you well. Make sure you have your finger on the little red button. Without any other FI or head swaps, you will need it.

Like all above have said, do everything you have and are planning to get, plus, I would try to reduce the weight as much as possible, in any way you can. Also, as has been suggested, I've seen STS Turbo setups in your car run some sick times, full weight and all.
Lastly, (and I know this goes against popular opinion on here) I personally think your car looks better than any Supra anyway, so KEEP IT, and make it beat the damned MKIVs. Again, it seems that people on here and elsewhere let the speed/performance of modded Supras influence their opinions of the aesthetics.

You should be even with a Intake and exhaust Supra. That should put him in the 12's.
But with the mods you listed, I would assume the Supra might sneak into the 11's at 18 PSI. I assume you are high 12's with your mods... I would say spray the 150 shot and you will win from any speed.
BTW, I love the LS-X, but I would have bought the Supra.

Don't even think about selling your car because someone is faster. There is ALWAYS someone faster than you. Remeber here you are dealing with a fast car that lives to build RPM's. You have advanatages off the line.
Thinking about selling out because of something faster goes against what it means to be a "car enthusiast." If you want to beat everything on the road drop a "few" grand on a 408, put a turbo on it, drop your weight a few hundred pounds, and yeah then you should sell it if you get beat.

1) What the heck is with people Typing EVerything with FUcked Up CapSSS?
2)Supras are not light. Very similar to F-Bodies, so thats maybe a few hundred lbs. Loose your jack and tools, run him on a half tank of 91 octane and forget about weight. Weight is not much of an issue after 3rd gear anyway.
3)Supras have a rep for sure. But in stock form or in BPU form (as is the case with your competitor) they are beatable. The good BPU guys run mid 400s WHP AFAIK. With your mods and the shot you have him beat power-wise.
4)Running from a dig is not any better for either car. GTOs dont exactly blast off the line like Camaros. If its a stalled auto Supra the GTO will loose the holeshot contest big time in fact.
Run him. If what you have said is accurate, I bet on you.
