He also said that he has been taking it easy on the launches because he doesn't want to break something so that could give me an advantage.

How are you suppose to launch it just like power-brake it or just floor it as soon as you get the signal?

why do all your supras weigh so much mines down to around 3000lbs right now.

newbsupra · 07-29-2006, 08:30 PM

stop thinking negative.. supra's will prevail

i really dont see him beating you honestly.. supras are quick, even when there n/a. and i really dont think putting on exhaust,intake and a clutch is going to shave 1.2 seconds off in the 1/4 mile to keep up with the supra.maybe he will even miss a gear!! and how fast are you racing up to? let us know when you win.

we will probably just do like a 0-100 maybe a little more. I really don't know i think it will be close.

0-100mph? im pretty sure you'll take him, when are you racing?

Isphius · 07-29-2006, 10:47 PM

I hope your planning on doing this on a reallly long and abandoned road... lol. Drivign next to someone(or almost next to, depending of how much faster the winning car is) at 100 is pretty dam scary/dangerous. I would say if your gona do that just bring him to the closest 1/4mile track. Then you get times too. But otherwise.. I think you should win. 3000gts are over rated. lol.

Isphius · 07-29-2006, 10:55 PM

I did a little reading, The 3g has at least 222 hp. or 218 if its 97+. Thats a slight bit more than the 7mge. But i rode in a 95 3g, an auto, And there was no way it would beat any supra. It was slow as hell. Im not sure about the manual one thou. Just race him, and if you lose, spend a little money and race him again. If you have a radar detector, If he starts winning, slam on your brakes and turn/get in the right lane (whatever) and he will probably do the same. tell him you got some radar

Yeah we are doing it on a really long road. Bad thing is one of us may be driving on the wrong side of the road there arent any 2 lanes without traffic on them and there are tons of roads that are perfectly flat and long as hell so we can tell when people are coming a long ways away. yeah im probably gonna shut down a 100 i don't know about him but if he is winning at 100mph its kinda redicoulous to go that retardedly fast for $30. Closest 1/4mile track is an hour away and it $45 entrance fee

from what i have heard the manuals run about a second faster in the 1/4 cuz the gears are too long in the automatics. the manual 3000gt's 3rd gear tops at a little over 100mph from what he said.

I don't have a radar detector

I think the race will be in a couple hours ill try to post the results
