kamiam: here's a link to a site that'll tell you more about the T66 turbo that the F&F guy is using. Click here. notice on top of the page it says "intermediate turbos" 😀

ok, i'm done. Thank you kamiam for giving me the opportunity to spread the "rice" truth to the members of the forum. 🙂
 
i dont know that "rice truth" needed some more soy sauce.. and some kung pao chicken plz.

damn im getting hungry...
 
You can't even begin to compare those cars to street cars. I know about those cars, it has a tube chassis for god's sake. That is no way anything you can buy or would buy for street use.
 
I guess...still, don't you like the idea of a cheap economy car doing something decent? Something a million high school age kids own going that fast...it gives those poor high school kids something to dream of...

yeah no sh|t..
supra's arent an econ-box...
they are a sports car...
😕
 
Well you figure, the owner of this car has more than one cars, right? Most of these ppl who do these excessive stuff to their car ALREADY own a custom $50k harely, a f360, diablo, prob a tahoe then a &quot;fixerupper car&quot; they do for fun.

All i know (the facts) is that ppl around my community own some really outrageous civics. Its there &quot;one-time&quot; a year car...weekends, these guys roll in their porche turboes and smoke any civics...on weekdays, their 740's or s500's. On trips, their suv. The family on our right owns approximately 7 cars. Family on left owns 6 cars. You figure how the heck thye have time to take a spin in ALL their cars with only 2 ppl in the family.

So whocare how the guy spent his $150k on the supra. If he likes it, fine. IF not, well, he could be $150k richer (which I seriously doubt he needs) since he is the president of a company.

Also, he is the technical advisor. I'm sure he owns a muscle car too.

550 hp and only 12.2 1/4 mile

If anyone has been fooling with cars longer than the previews of fast and furious has been out, they would know this car should do more.
MM&amp;FF got a bone stock 95 cobra R to do 12.93 1/4 mile without slicks, and R&amp;T got a 93 cobra w/ Vortech 12lbs psi to run 200 mph in Atlanta about 5 years ago. When I find the links I'll post them, right now I have have the back issues.
But the Supra does look sweet...
my $.02
 
Ya Know I Like the supra's, &amp; I Will have to admit that a ricer will not top a real muscle car in a 1/4 dollar for dollar... However I Like to go fast around corners as well as in a straight away... &amp; The Riccers are gonna pound a muscle car there... as well as the fact that a ricer is alot better on gas... I Would take a ricer over a muscle car any day, however I Have no intention of ever racing a 1/4 mile...
