You must have a fast car. SW's Supra was at about 900rwhp. It was the first full interior Supra to run over 150 mph through the 1/4mile. I think he ran a 9.8 with a 130 shot. His new ride should be quicker and faster. He really must not be able to drive if the race was from a roll....
SW has a lot of car's i hear. This Supra's dyno #'s are in the 600's like i stated. They say it CAN hit 700+ on high boost but hasn't been attempted. We are dynoing on the 16th again so we will see. I know SW also has a supra that run 9's in the 1/4. I've seeen vid's of it, that thing FLY'S. But this is not the one. Just a black supra owned and built by SW. I thought it was that same car he was buying myself untill i asked "is this the one that run's 9's"
If all works out i MIGHT have another kill to post after this weekend. Or a got killed, only time will tell. Ill post either way. He is getting some race gas and cranking it up.

SW's definitely has alot of cars. He only had 2 Supras though. He sold the 9 sec one. The other one was setup to be a road racing car which is his real passion. It was BPU so it only had 400+ rwhp. It is being built to the hilt and is currently at over 1040 rwhp. So if thats truly SW's Supra then it is the 9 sec one.

The 9 sec Supra was sold over a yr ago. I guess it was resold....

Kinda of a newbie to all this Supra stuff so don't laugh at this question. What does BPU stand for?

No problem..BPU means Basic Performance Upgrades...usually consists of an exhaust, downpipe, some form of boost cut controller, and usually 18+ lbs of boost. HP ranges from 360rwhp to 460rwhp depending on tune, parts used, amount of boost and if the car is auto or 6 spd......

This car was was recently switched to a single so i was told? And the Fikse wheels were removed before it sold. It now has CCW's. And the one I raced looked like this under the hood. And AGAIN dyno'd in the 600's. I doubt he is lying about where he got it from. But the front end has the same bumper and same look as the 9 sec supra. They are both close though. Under the hood looks different. It must hhave been changed if it was that one?

There is always someone faster. I put down alot more power than a BPU Supra but I wounldnt say that any 450+rwhp car is slow. Its alot faster than most cars u would meet on the street...I know some singles in the 900 to 1000rwhp range...u cant **** everyone off...

Thats not SW's car. He still owns the BPU supra. The engine is totally different from the one in the picture and SW sold his Supra 9 sec as is, engine and turbo included. His car was never at 600...it went from stock to the 9 sec beast in the link...

Drool... supra's are so nice... If I could ever afford one, I'd deifnitely drive it. Then again, if I could afford a Supra, I could probbaly afford to insure a first gen Camaro, too...

For the record, SW has owned 3 black Supras.

The one pictured above is the 1997 car that just had bolt-on's, but was changed to a Greddy T78 single turbo. That is the car you raced. That is the old "road race" car.

The 1995 black targa top 9-second daily driver sold many months ago.

His latest project is a 1995 black hardtop that is a street/drag car. It recently put down 1040rwhp...
