Default Just beat a BPU Supra - San Antonio, TX

Just got back from cruisin home on loop 1604 and i look to my right and what do i see getting on the highway? my favorite car ever, yes. this was too good to be true. a white supra that sounded bpu with some chrome rims. not sure what they were but it also looked lowered and it was debadged. dark tinted. we cruised alongside for a bit and eventually the cars ahead cleared up and i could hear him get on it so i downshifted to 3rd and let the torque converter do its work. i jumped up immediately to his bumper and swiftly pulled about a car on him and slowed down for traffic. we met up again and cruised alongside a bit, waiting to go but he just ended up exiting.

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 it was the outcome would have been different. Nice kill. Did the car have an exhaust?

yeah im sure he was racing. he had exhaust, i could hear the turbos spooling up pretty loud. sounded great.

yeah i know a 600hp supra would beat me pretty bad. no comp there. a buddy of mine has one that makes about 500 single turbo (no fuel syst) and he would spank me pretty bad.

but i beat a bpu nonetheless so booya!

i'd say thats pretty good for my kind of setup.

Basic Performance Upgrades- Usually consists of downpipe, exhaust, intake, and raised boost levels over 17 psi.

Anyways, good kill, dude! Supras are amazing cars, I'd love to snag one to park next to my baby in the garage!

BPU for ricers is like full engine swap, turbo boosting 60 + PSI, slicks, 100 shot of nitrous...ect.
