i'm not going to lie, when i got on it i was thinking, "this guy's about to boost the hell up on me." and then got all giggly when i realized i was pulling.
not sure if the owner wants his license plate up on here so i won't post it, but you have a gorgeous supra. from what i saw it's looking great and sounds awesome too. if for whatever reason you somehow see this, PM me.

If this was around NW San Antonio near IH-10, Ive seen this Supra before at a gas station near IH-10. looked like he had limo tint on some nice chrome rims, he was idling while filling up his gas tank
Sounded mean though, I cant remember if it was debadged. I dont see many Supras running around SA though. Good kill...

I've seen BPU cars hit or miss in terms of power. Many guys I've seen just slap the parts on, don't tune it too well, and make low 400s. Some put just a few more parts on (cam gears, fmic), tune it well, and make mid 400s. Finding a STOCK supra is hard as hell... BPU is almost becoming the new "stock"

thanks! but the sportlines are the worst thing ever on stock shocks. the ride feels like i'm off-roading. gonna get some stranos soon.
i like matts rims too. they're almost identical. i didn't know they were that slick until we washed them

Did you ever go to school? He said BPU wich means Basic bolton upgrades...
APU means singel turbos....
And for your info my buddy ran 10.7s with only 600whp.....And is currently on a whole new setup.
AUTO supras are fast

I remember hearing...
"What makes 800hp but runs 12s? A Supra."
but i thought all the traction issues had been figured out by now for the track?
also, the fastest supra runs in the 7s, no?
sorry, i love supras. it's that curve.
