Maybe it isn't legit since the Supra backed off but how often do imports consider that fact if a domestic backs off in a race? I just don't see it if the roles were reversed a typical Supra driver would say "ehh, it doesn't count, he backed off"...no, I picture them saying how bad they smoked the other car.

no its not, videos is just fun to watch it could be a ton of reasons why the Supra fell back like that. Won't know till you ask the Supra driver.

Hiya! :D :O :lol: Meow! (='.'=)

After watching it several time, I reached a conclusion that may be the reason why the Supra backed off! :O

At the start of the race, I think the Supra owner started to feel intimidated by the loudness of that Z28. The Supra owner just then realized that the Z28 is so loud and is winning...he just simply let off. He would probably let off because he wants to make some excuse of why he messed up when he didn't. He wants to save his face from embarassment from other Supra owners...

I REALLY believed that that Z28 will win anyways, even if he tried his best on the supra. That Z28 just intimidated him and scared him into giving up as that car pulled on him in the beginning. :O

By the way, thank you all on making comments on my avatar and camaro! 👍 You know I love everyone! :) :O

oh the Z would prob own it I'm just sayin
 
Haha, that was awesome. Just to think I used to love riced out cars, and probably have some old posts on here defending them : /. Always cool to hear the guy at the end say something in amazement.

[EDIT : The Camaro burned him. Just by watching how they started off, the Camaro had much better acceleration than the Supra.]
 
The supra is basicly STOCK!, so theres nothing strange about that. Everybody knows that when a supra is heavy modified, it beat most cars. Ive got tons of video proof of that.

330hp+ supra vs. 600-700hp camaro , ofcourse the camaro wins.

Alot of guys are jealous that supra is so good, hahaha. i had a few friends who admit that they are jealous. I mean a BPU supra can beat porsches, some ferraris. And when its heavy tuned it beats most cars, like lambos, ferraris, porsches, and ive got proof of that :)

And best of all, its so much cheaper than a lambo ect.. 👍

too bad many people are noobs, they say that "Liek omg ima buy a ferrari and nobody can beat me :dopey: "

well thats what i think

Hiya! :D :O :lol: Meow! (='.'=)

Sometimes I am not sure if that is actually an excuse that many Supra fans would say at times whenever a Supra loses. I have read this kind of remark many times on other forums and such.

"That supra owner doesnt know how to shift!"
"Give it more horsepower and it will eat that "X" anyday!"
"That Supra was only lightly modded..."

I love supras too, especially the MKIV! :O 👍 I plan to have one myself in a few years from now.

I also find that the problem with being a MKIV owner is that you somehow have to met a certain expectation from import crowd that you HAVE TO beat those imports or its your face that is going in the trash. :grumpy:

Well, Supra's HAVE set quite a few records and are usually in top 5 - top 10's in their class, so buying a Supra sort of incinuates that you're serious. Besides, those oldass muscle cars always win in drag races. Their engines are just so ridiculously big they hardly have to try in order to get high numbers out of them. That's pretty much all they can do anyway, why do you think NASCAR goes around a giant circle as opposed to F1 or JGTC?
 
"How do i know if the supra is basicly stock"

Well first off, when you buy a supra you usually buy a BPU package to supra which will give it about 450hp, that kit includes: Exhaust, downpipe, airfilter, BCC, FFCD, FCD, EBC (has to do with "gas" injection ect..) cost: about 2000$

Now is the video the supra sounds stock, and you dont drive with a tuned supra with a stock exhaust. So if it was tuned it should sound alot more.

So im sure its not tuned, maybe just arifilter and some light stuff.

Example, this is a "BPU+" supra. notice the sound.

Hiya! :D :O :lol: Meow! (='.'=)

Interesting info you post Super Supra! :O 👍 However, it kind of turned my thinking upside down...Instead of thinking that supra as lightly modified or have a Basic Performance Upgrade(BPU), I am thinking that Supra could have been a Naturally Aspirated supra... :odd: Although I can't imagine someone using a NA supra as a racing car, but it could happen. :O By any chance, do you think even that Supra could have been a NA Supra?

oO O! Almost forgot! :O I downloaded that video with the Hayabusa against Virtual Works Racing Supra and my goddess...I didn't expect that HUGE amount of a result with a Supra beating a bike like that...Love the video! Thank you! :O
 
Yes it could be a "Naturally Aspirated" supra (NA which has no turbos for those who wonder)
Yes like you say, you dont race with a NA supra with a camaro like that, lol. but it was probably just for fun.

Hehehe, you like the video :) , i got 600-700 more videos :sly:

Alot of videos of that car, great sound, but its not the fastes supra, the fastest is about middle 8th´s sec and it has stock weight about 1600kg, and that is impressive.


Many people dont know what a supra is possible to do, i mean with a (BPU /only 450hp!!!) supra you can reach about 300-330km/h and thats as fast as a lamborghini murciélago :sick:!

Yea huh! :O Love the videos! :O I got some of my own also. My favorite is Redline1. I bet you already have it since you are a supra fan and claim to have 600-700 more vidoes....:O If you dont have Redline1, I can give you the link to it.

There we go! 👍 There are some other videos too in case you are interested in them. www.Racingflix.com is also a good place to find videos are constantly being submitted in nearly every WEEK! 👍

Also, what do you think of the Supra and its current competition today with other imports such as the 350Z, S2000, Evo 8 and WRX STI? :odd: I am finding that people are starting to pick the newer stuff and leaving behind the Rx-7 and Supra. what do you find?
 
First off supras engine is about 12 years old, i mean the technique/ design.... but its still one of the best, if not the best engine for torque/hp. Today the cars are weaker and slower, a good example of that is the "topgear" show, where they tested jaguar XJ220 (old)vs. Pagani zonda (new), and XJ220 won easily..ect.

Anyway, yes people pick newer models / cars, im not really sure why, i believe they think like this...example: "Supra MKiv is old so its probably slow, well i buy a Evo8 its fresh so it has to be faster" but no..
-
Evo7 is faster that evo8, evo8 got the evo7 engine it just have a new design.
And we all know that AWD/4WD is just fast at acceleration, not top speed. Infact they are fast up to 0-100kmh /0-60mph, from there on the supra, rx7, 350z blows it.
-
I like RX7 with its rotary engine, but the rx7 isnt that fast as stock, but when its tuned its very fast, tho the engine gets much warmer/hot than a i6 or v6 engine.
-
350z is really good, its new so the tune parts havent been fully developed.
-
S2000 is not near the same class, tho it my favorite "little" sports car, great car!.
-
Skyline R34 is the big competition to supra.

Skyline R34= faster acceleration (0-xxx), slower top speed, bad at drifting, bad at accelerate out of corners.

Supra Mkiv=Slower acceleration, High top speed, good at drifting, takes corners good.

Now what will happen if we removed the 4wd of the skyline, then it has same class as a supra, and it whould be a poor car compared to supra without its 4wd.

Now i dont say that supra is the best car ever made in the world, but its cheap, easy to tune, very fast, good at cornering, 0-100 in 4,5 sec stock with 280hp!...ect. And its 12 years old. 1993-1998 models is not a very big difference.

Yeah i have seen redline and every video i can find, you cant find a supra video i havent seen :dopey:

here is a site, my friend made it, hes also a supra freak like me, it has alot of videos.

PS: damn, thats alot of text ive written :sick:

For one, the Xj220 got a slower lap time than the Pagani on their test track an easier car to drive and is a "better" car with more history so it deserves the win IMO

for 1, it is faster, 2 the Evo is a hell of alot better on the track than the MKIV and you can't deny that considering the supra is a pig with a pig engine for the track
Evo7 is faster that evo8, evo8 got the evo7 engine it just have a new design.

The Evo 7 is faster than the Evo 8 because it weights less. The power curve is the same, the engine is the same, the drive train is the same, the brakes are the same. (US spec Evo 8 in mind)
I like RX7 with its rotary engine, but the rx7 isnt that fast as stock, but when its tuned its very fast, tho the engine gets much warmer/hot than a i6 or v6 engine.
350z is really good, its new so the tune parts havent been fully developed.

Actually the Rx-7 is pretty quick out the box considering it has less HP than it's 2-3 rivals. No it's not the best of the 3 but it's not slow.

the 350z is new, but they have a crap load of aftermarket parts for it already so I don't know what you're talking about.

The skyline's top speed is the same as the supra's officially, and a skyline can do 162 maxed in 5th gear without limiters with stock everything so, what does a supra do?

Supra Mkiv=Slower acceleration, High top speed, good at drifting, takes corners good.

You're kidding me right?

OK you were kidding me, phew I thought I was taking crazy pills for a second.
 
oh and by the way goin by #'s alone....
The supra does the 600ft slalom at 66 mph...skyline does it at 68.

Oh and by the way how many sanctioned races where the skyline went heads up with the supra did the supra win with a 2jz-gte under the hood? I can't recall any.
 
Hiya! :D :O :lol: Meow! (='.'=)

ooOOOOooOO I LOVE that Supra SITE!!!! 👍👍👍 Now that site is very PLEASING TO ME! :O

I have just thought of a new way to think of why people are starting to use the newer cars now. It is simply easier to make a downpayment on a new car than giving someone 20K-50K for a used car. It's all about financial reason is the caused which car to buy. Also, some people say that cars like the RX-7, Supra, Skyline are played too much or getting old.

I used to like the RX-7 at one time, until I saw a Supra! :O I then reseached the comparison between RX-7 and the Supra.

The RX-7 have many problems compared to the Supra. The Apex Seal which I believe is called, always have a problem. RX-7 also lacks torque under the 3,000 RPM line...Blah...too much to say! Now I feel like I am a RX-7 basher!!! :ouch:

Okay...I am a Suprafan! :O
 
-Evo isnt much better than supra on track, they are about the same, and i mean stock, i have tried them my self, got about same time on a track. Best motoring also had a competition with 5-6 cars included supra and evo7, supra overpassed most of them by.

-Supra do 250kmh and its limited, if you remove the limiter it goes about 275km/h stock.

-About XJ220, i forgot to mention that i mean in "straight line" or 0-100kmh, my bad

-Aftermarket parts for 350z not that much compared to supra, skyline r32/r33 ect..

Supra and skyline are so even, just small differences, the only thing i dont like with skyline is the design and 4wd, 4wd for me= gravel, sand ect.. :scared:

And i dont get what you mean with "You're kidding me right?"

So you have to excuse me, but english is not my official language!

Now ima sleep, i tired so expect wrong gramma, lol :indiff: nvm..
 
well here's for the mornin. The Skylines AWD isn't built for it's "gravel performance" it's designed to assist it for faster cornerning speeds aswell as more power to the car upon exiting the corners AND to assist in regaining control if need be.
And famine since I don't feel like breakin out the Texas instrument, if you read this could you do the math for us? If not would anyone else like to?
 
Super Supra has it wrong about Skyline GTRs having bad accel at corner exit. It's obvious any high tech Awd have good traction at corner exit. I think you're thinking about mid-high speed corners where they tend to have understeer.

When the new cars are compared to the "old" Supra and RX-7 there's not much of an improvement. I guess, part of the blame is deserved by the unwritten 280hp law in japan.

The 350Z, in my opinion, is a big disappointment. It's just plain slow.

Lan Evos/STIs are fast, but let's face it, they're 2 liter compact cars with not so small turbos. I always wonder how many 6000rpm launches it'd take before the car leaves it's tranny behind it. Great bang-for-the-buck though.

S2000 is well built for track, but just a good car in the street.

R34 is clearly a superior car to the Supra, but not much improvement to the R33, which was slower than the Supra. After 10 years, Skylines still used the same engine.

The way I see it, only way I'm "upgrading" my supra is if I were to trade it in for an R34 or wait for the C6 Z06.

"Oh and by the way how many sanctioned races where the skyline went heads up with the supra did the supra win with a 2jz-gte under the hood? I can't recall any."

If you're talking about Le Mans/JGTC, it was a no brainer. First off, the regulation allowed them to use engine from their production line. They chose 3S-GTE, because it was already a developed/established race engine (IMSA GTP, WRC). Running 500hp for any iron-block turbo engine is easy, and since the 3S was shorter, they were able to run a mid-front engine setup.



Sorry for the OT stuff.

I don't see why there's a need to bash or defend the Supra on the clip. There's no doubt that the Camaro is better suited for a drag race, especially when you look at it's rear wheels. Plus, the huge rear wing on the supra generated too much downforce/drag hampering it's acceleration :lol:
 
What I don't understand is if the Supra was so popular, why isn't Toyota making it any more. They could have made a new, better model.

Supras weren't popular. North America didn't care too much for turbo cars, especially at that price. In Japan, Supra had to compete with GT-Rs and RX-7s. GT-Rs were a legend in Japan. Beginning with the legendary KPGC110 to the R32 Group A cars that were dominant, victories including 24hrs at Spa. Supra didn't have much of a history, nor did it have a backing of a big name tuner like Amemiya for the rotary Mazdas. Japanese aftermarket for Supras were pretty weak, which didn't help sales. North America probably has higher aftermarket support for them.
 
OMG! theres so much things that is better and worse, well i dont know what to say. i can say this:

Supra, RX7, Skyline and some other Japanese cars is out of production.. :grumpy:

SupraMKIV=end 2002 (Japanese spec version)
SkylineR34=end 2002
Rx7= end 2002

Hmm all of the is 2002

V8 cars is better on drag race like you said

And wO_Ot, is skyline R34 really AWD :crazy: that makes it even worse for me, i thought it was 4WD...

And in a closer look, we actually shouldnt compare AWD (4WD) vs. RWD cars. but lol i started it on this topic anyway so :scared:

The only skyline that i could think of getting is the R32.
 
I'd get a R32, or R33 if I had the extra change, but I'd personally never buy a R34. I don't like how it looks. Personal preference is a odd thing.

BTW I like MKIII supra's more than MKIV's...
Give me a 600HP 1jz-gte or 7mgte over a 900horse 2jz-gte Any day of the week.
 
Dude, we need more chicks in here, or I think McAngel is going to die of flattery. :p

It's propoganda basically. Whether the Supra launched well, chickened out or just had a bad driver, this video is just there to boost the ego of Muscle car owners and supporters.

If it was produced for entertainment there would atleast be a decent launch from the supra.

If you really think I am going to die of flattery...I will probably die as the FIRST and LAST chick on GTP EVER!!!! :O:lol:

Back on topic! :O

I really like the debate that is going around in this thread as it really does show how the Supra can be overrated. :O Despite its age, I am glad that it is still a lovable import and will probably still be used in the next 50 years....:O
