Anybody race an NA Supra?
I was going down the freeway today, and I see this red N/A Supra get on. He keeps ahead of me, and I'm trying to get next to him to bate him into a race. But every time I got beside him, someone got infront of me and I could lurch. So I finally got a clearing with just him and I, and he wouldn't go. Oh well. Would have been a fun race. Anybody else try it?

I did attemp to race a black Supra in my CL, he was turbo, not sure about mods. unfortunately I couldn't get a clear shot of road due to traffic.

Twin turbo supras will rock CL's from here to your A-holes! Now the N/A's are slow as shit, I used to own a twin turbo so I should know from experience. The only way the CL might have a chance is if the supra is a pre 96' model auto twin turbo and its bone stock. The CL will have to have every N/A bolt on, and it has to be 6spd. Then maybe it might hang, but not on the highway. But the N/A supras for sure will lose to the CL's, they weigh more plus they have 40 less hp. Its just a simple power to weight ratio deal...

Yeah I second that NA supras you should have no trouble with... it won't take long before you blow past them...had one try to tailgate me and pass me in regular traffic with clear lanes ...I punched it and pulled about 2 cars easily....turbocharged ones are dangerous I don't think the CL could keep up unless the supra driver is the worst driver in the world.

Had I been able to get a clear shot of road for him and I, I think the CL would've held it's own. But now since the supercharger is embedded into the motor I can't say I'll be able to hold my own any longer.

I agree that a tt supra would eat a cls up all day! But what if i told yall, I have met a guy, that has the fast TL type S on the east coast! He runs the 1/4 mile in 10 sec. I didn't believe it myself until he showed me his slip, and the video. He ran the 1/4 in 10.7 secs. In the video, people couldn't believe acura TL type S was that fast. But its very heavily modded. They put a custom turbo in it. The guy that sponsors him, wants to put a turbo in my CL type S, Im seriously thinking about it after seening that video. I don't think that guy is register on this site yet, but I talk to him everytime I go to the shop, cause he put a turbo in my brothers 95 corrolla. Well thats another subject, but anyway about the Video, he was racing a tt supra, and he stuck with him the whole way, the guy in the supra couldn't even believe it, the supra ran a 10.2 sec in the 1/4. Im going to tell him about this site, so he can post pics and vids, trust me, its a beautiful site to see. Some people on this site have heard about him around the area. I'll keep yall posted on anything else, and I'll try to get a list of all his mods too!

You sound like BS! Just cause you haven't heard of a car like that, doesn't mean its not true, I have no reason to lie. Like I said before, I didn't believe it my self, until he showed me proof of it that it really did happen.

A few people have heard about it, but not everybody else. Some people around the Maryland area, have heard about it! Ive actually seen the car and the video. But don't doubt it, just cause you haven't heard about it yet.

yeah, the guy spent over 18 thousand dollars to get it worked on. Also, he has no tranny problem goes he got the 6-speed swap. It came auto, but he knew that the car would have all kind of tranny issues because of the power he had, so he went with the swap.

My friend owned a NA supra and we raced frequently and I would literally crack his ass from a dead stop. However whenever we would run from a roll, he would crack my ass. Those NA Supras have a lot of top end. But I guess he got tired of me humiliating that Supra in the ¼ mile because he gave the car to his brother and bought a 98 TT Supra which now has a T88 on it. Needless to say, we don’t race any longer.
