<< I've got to punch in to work in about 5 1/2 hours damn it! :Q

My point isn't that it is a crappy car, it's that it's "overclockability" is moot when the initial price is so high. It was probably expensive because Toyota is tooled up for FWD. When they build a proper RWD machine it's gonna cost. Seems a shame to try an eek so much from a small engine. I prefer the low tech, brute strength of a V8. It's the cheaper way to go in this neck of the woods and gets the job done pretty effortlessly.

G' night! >>

I don't know where you live, but the Supra is RWD... >>

He's trying to say that it's more expensive for Toyota to produce a RWD Supra platform, because almost all of their vehicle platforms are tooled up for FWD. It's more cost effective to produce RWD platforms when you're set up for RWD, not FWD...

The camaro gets damn good gas mileage.

<< Cant drop $2000 into a Camaro and have 420RWHP >>

Yeah only 392 RWHP. [l]http://www.motorsporttech.com/ls1/dystage1.html [/l}

Not only that is baselined at 299 RWHP. Most LS1's make about 310-315. So yeah about 400+ RWHP for 2000. Or you could spend about 6 hundred on nitrous and have about 450 RWHP.

I bet this 770 hp 683 ft-lb 572 Cubic Inch Beast could handle that supra. Too bad they didn't make any of 'em! lol

Pay: Those pics are SWEET!

Vortex22 · Mar 30, 2002

You don't understand how much I WANT A SUPRA!!!
I always have and probably always will.

GTaudiophile · Mar 30, 2002

Nice Pics! Thanks for sharing.

The Ferrari 550 is by far the most beautiful of the bunch.

Shouldn't a Twin Turbo 8L V10 make more horsepower than a Twin Turbo 3L I6???

<< Went to the Supra meet last week *pics* >>

And you have more Viper and Ferrari pics posted then Supra. Not that I mind too much since that Ferrari looks the best of the 3.

I used that as an argument for the guys who said no replacement for displacement

Where is nfs4.. he should be all over this

"I don't know where you live, but the Supra is RWD..."

Gawd, this takes me full circle, eh PsychoAndy?

Since nobody ever answered my questions at the beginning of this topic, I guess now would be the perfect time to ask again. Two questions:

Why RWD, not front wheel drive? (I don't understand how go-kart, boy racers can even relate!)
Why not go head's up against domestics?

No replacement for displacement, eh?

Yeah genocide touched on it, but didn't explain why some Compact Drag Racing Boyz are so upset with allowing V8s to compete?

I already agree with your arguement that Domestics are better drag racing cars...

I don't think I fully understand your reason for asking RWD, but we all know that its optimal for sports cars.

Ornery · Mar 30, 2002

...we all know..."

If they don't know now, they should be able to figure it out soon! I just think it's ironic that the Japanese import fanboys hold up the Supra Turbo as the be all, end all sports car, and it has almost no relation to their daily drivers, other than it's diminutive size.

Now we have people tricking out these 'exotic' machines to produce monster horsepower and they gape in awe. It's like modding a high tech 2 cycle, weedwacker to cut your lawn, when a low tech, 22" 4 cycle, mower from Walmart will do the job better and cheaper. And no, it won't handle the tight 'curves', but a smart landscaper will eliminate those... much like the majority of our American roads!

Nefrodite · Mar 30, 2002

ah yes, unrefined redneck bruteforce power or power through finesse. choices...

Mill · Mar 30, 2002

Where is your fcking finesse in a Supra or your fcking redneck in a domestic? I am so fcking tired of domestic drivers being called rednecks. Listen find a goddamn import with some balls and tell them to PM me. We can do whatever they want. Road course, drag strip, etc.

Nefrodite · Mar 30, 2002

you mean kinda like how some indy cars use v12 honda engines?

iamme · Mar 30, 2002

Racism threads and Import/Domestic threads seem to get peoples' panties in bunches so easily....

Ornery · Mar 30, 2002

"...way to show those domestics whose boss " - pay Friday March 29, 2002 4:25 PM

He brought it on himself, iamme.

"...unrefined redneck bruteforce power or power through finesse. choices..."

1998 Camaro Z28 $21,000

1998 Supra Turbo $40,308

Choices? Yeah, I'll spend twice as much for... finesse

(God, that sounds gay!)

Mill · Mar 30, 2002

What would an indy car have to do with mass produced automobiles? Are you just talking out of your ass again?

Valhalla1 · Mar 30, 2002

<< and to the guy who said "fart pipe ricer"; you are probably an uneducated hick who drives a truck and thinks they own the roads >>
