Default Supra Run In!

SO last night im driving home from work and roll through a local spot just too see who was out. So i had to get home so i get on the highway and come up on this red supra. I switch lanes to get off and as they pass me the passenger signals for me to follow so i figure wtf I havnt raced an actaully fast car once this whole season yet! so we only slow to like 60 and i kinda jump a bit waiting to see what he'll do. So he rolled into it a bit and i hit it but he kept pulling. Im guessing if he actually hit it hard i woulda been completely embarrased. Awsome car though and the turbos and exhaust sounded sik.

Nice death! Supras are respectable rice burners. It is one of two jap cars I would consider owning.

I said rice burner. And yes that is exactly what they are. It is slang for any Japanesse made vehicle. SkyLines on the other hand are more of sport sedan.

You need big cubes or FI to even TAKE OUT A bpu SUPRA..

mY BUDDIES bpu supra pushing 430 rwhp took my atuo C5 pushing 378 rwhp by 3 cars from 70-140..

Witha manual and 385 rwhp it would have been about dead even for me and him though..

Still, 385 rwhp is a full bolt on large cam LS1 vrs just a BPU Supra
