Little bit of background, the motor in the car at time of the vid was the STOCK EGT bottom end, with the gtr head and all my other goodies, on pump gas. Boost was at 18psi, and estimated power was 340-350whp on pump gas.

Supra was a BPU (exhaust, no cat, downpipe, 20lbs boost, intake, afc) that made approx 400-420whp on pump gas

Was the supra Automatic? The passangers like you didnt have a clutch so you couldnt take of anyway...WTF does that mean?

AoD 07-07-2005 01:31 AM

could mean the clutch was fried

[Was the supra Automatic? The passangers like you didnt have a clutch so you couldnt take of anyway...WTF does that mean?]

Probably meant the car was an auto so he wasn't able to hold the revs and dump the clutch for a better launch.

And just by the timing of the shifts it sounded like they were running 13's.

Probably a stock Supra. Definitely a nice Escort. :supz:

that was an 80's supra

I think its a Celica.

Definately not an MKIII or MKIV Supra. If it was the older than an MKIII it wouldn't have an airbag. It also looked like a small dash. My guess is Early-90's Celica.

2point4DSM 07-07-2005 09:28 AM

Not sure a Celica can run that fast with a quiet exhaust. If it were a Celica it would have had to sound more like the Escort.

"thats incredible" no ur buddy''s car is just slow and probably not a supra... nice escort tho.

AoD 07-07-2005 10:18 AM

actually, i believe it was an MKIV. I don't know why some of you guys doubt.

not trying to be a dick but come on, can't admit the escort can have balls?

S4toSTI 07-07-2005 10:20 AM

Not being a dick but watch the video the dash looks nothing liek what u just showed... watch them side by side no sloped dash!!!

AoD 07-07-2005 10:23 AM

look at the passenger airbag compartment, considering thats pretty much the only indication as to what car this might be

I don't mean to argue but when they are about to turn around u can see the center and there is no sloped area like a supra

AoD 07-07-2005 10:37 AM

no, understand, I know you're not trying to argue, but I went back and double check the video to see if it could have been misreported by the guy who took the video.

I agree with you about the sloped dash, but the video is also very dark, the only identifying marks are the passenger airbag, find me another car that has an airbag like that.

I used to own a supra. I've followed every iteration of them, they're my forbidden fruit if you will. I'm pretty sure it's authentic.

V=vent, i don't know any other car designed like that.

Point taken we will agree to disagree... and if this was an audi i would be the same way u are being right now lol.

2point4DSM 07-07-2005 10:45 AM

I agree, it looked like an MK4 Supra to me, too. Half way through it looks like they get into the escort.

Ok i am just saying when the supra turns around watch the dash!!

2point4DSM 07-07-2005 10:59 AM

Better to watch the beginning. You see more of the dash that way. There really wasn't much to see when he turns before they get into the escort.

GeforceXtreme 07-07-2005 11:14 AM
