Lee Iacocca would be proud.

what's a K car?
and is the supra non-turbo (I got no sound here)

edit🙁looks like a turbo supra, but a stock one; 14.5s vs 10+s) :Q

 

[ironcrotch]

I think they were both turbos, you can hear them pretty distinctively. And I think the Supra ran a 12, I think, the vid got crappy at the end.

Edit:
It's an old Plymoth Reliant

 

[CrackRabbit]

K-Cars are Chrysler Economy cars from the early 80s to mid 90s starting with the Dodge Aires K and the Plymouth Reliant.
That looks like a Dodge Aires to me.

k-car? hahahahahhhaha

k stands for kalu (hindi) and if you know hindi you know what kalu means.

so i read this as kalu-car, which is pretty funny.

 

[geno]

old old old, that's Gary Donovan's K car

The Supra is/was local to me, was rumored to be an 800HP Single turbo motor, good for 10's

looks like it pulled a 14.5 there... and it looks like it got off to a bad launch.. still 12 < 10

 

[ultimatebob]

Funny... I had a Plymouth Reliant when I was a kid, and I don't remember it going nearly that fast 🙂

 

[TipsyMcStagger]

It might have been this guy's car.

Edit: the ironcrotch beat me to it

Things like this always make me wonder. Do you know that wanka is slang for wanker? yuck yuck yuck :roll:

Oh wait, that was just as stupid. 😉

a stock turbo Supra will run low 13's... the one in the video made a 12.14 second pass...

 

Supras are slow as hell.

What is that joke about the difference between a 12 second supra and a 13 second supra, and the punchline is like 300hp?

 

[James3shin]

BAH HAHAHAHAHHA!!!

 

[Ornery]

I don't see how the Reliant can possibly compete without a wing on the back. 😕

The way I heard that joke is:
"How are 400hp, 600hp, and 800hp Supras the same?"
"They all run 13's."

Just wondering, to what extent is that joke true? Im guessing that the times of a 400hp, 600hp are closer then they should be, but what is it due to, traction?

The main issue is traction. That said, the Supra is still the quickest and fastest platform in import drag racing.
