In all due respect Duy, I am one of the biggest supra nuts to ever roam this earth. But I dont see what the reasoning is for not allowing them to keep their setup. Knowone should have to downgrade their setup, to make the situation even. I really dont see the discepancy here. Both cars run similar times and nearly identical trap speeds.

I would say that its a little unfair to call someone out and then say to change set up, but I can see both sides of the story and its just going to be a never ending e-fighter thread going on here. Race the cars heads up and see what happens, its FOR FUN.

I think out of all the post of blah blah blah Gray makes the most sense. There are alot of fast "street cars", mainly from a roll, a few from a dig. Roll racing to me is for the birds. With that being said I'd like to see these interstate kings actually run a good number @ the track. I know Duy's blue car runs good either way on the street, but he's one of the few.

Kinda gay to ask the other guy to "Handicap" their car for a race. If you can't run them at their best, what's the point?

damn with all this talk and no one else has stepped up..i was hoping that some other guys from here would like to join the action..

oh well...

we will race him..my little 240, smaller turbo (88), smaller motor and no wheelie bars....

branden take those damn bars off we can run it again...ya spanked us last time because you didnt take those bars of like ya were supposed to and we still raced you..

if we can get down the track without bars, ya should be able too!!!!!!!!!!!

i bet you Titan will run you also if you take those bars off..they dont have them and they run 10.5!!

Yup only 188 mph. So why dont you guys get next to us. Just add a couple pounds of boost and you got the same trap speed Chris powell said it best earlier
No offense Chris, but please do not bring up the size of the motor / spark plug issue. If I remember correctly Tim Lynch only picked up small amounts (mainly in the 1/8th mile) by going from a 460" motor to a 6xx" motor. Turbos make up for motor size. A PT106 is going to make 2400hp on a 600" motor or on a 200". Now the amount of boost to get there is going to be different, and there will be lag issues (but if you have a 2step / anti-lag / nitrous / whatever it makes up for the lag).
In set ups like ours C.I.D. makes no difference so lets get over that. Do you see us complaining at true ten races about having an ls1. NOPE we get in the next lane weather the car has an 870 C.I. motor with 4 kits or it has a 600 C.I. motor with TWIN GT55's on it.

So we will race who ever. So sinch up the tea bags and race us. You dont see Titan complaining.

I was wondering if the fastest Surpras are (a) spraying nitrous to spool up the turbo(s) or (b) using it during the whole pass, or (c) not using any. Thanks.

Is it easy? NO. But we have managed to stay in the 9's ranging from 9.80's to 9.59@ 151
