Why are you guys getting back on topic? I thought this was an idiot bashing thread now? :rofl:

I would actually love to see a Supra going over 200, but it would need a rear wing with a lot of downforce, as well as other aero parts.

Question: Is it mechanically possible with a stock TT 6 speed?

Not quite. But close enough to where your speedometer might read 200 because of inaccuracy. ;)

I've heard of several street MK4's that can hit 215 so this isn't the fastest street car, and they don't use radar nor show speedo or anything, yeah its a PR stunt.


They time the car through two checkpoints, and in both directions, to eliminate wind effects. I dunno if they did that here, but that's how speed runs are normally monitored, so I'm not suprised that I don't see a radar gun.

Not even close with stock HP. Gearing, reving high, tall rear tire with enough HP and no problem.
