no, it is a N/A car, no turbo. bone stock other than the swaped M50NV, he said it was making close to 220 hp, and weights about 2700lbs. and a manual. only other mod is suspension.

Do the basic math. If that's true he's pushing 12.27 pounds per horsepower.
Even with the heavy weight of the Supra, you'd only have to make about 290 and not drive like a complete spaz to beat him.

Oh hell, Mike. Of all people, I should've known you'd be one to likely have ties with BMW's.
You pwnd me. :biglaugh:
I've always been intrigued with BMW's and their engine designs.
As far as I've always seemed to notice, a lot of the local BMW guys beat on their cars pretty hard with no major issues.

I've got a few friends with 325's and 330's. The 325/330xi's take a beating for hours, especially in the snow and still run like brand new.
You can beat the living crap out of a BMW. They are amazing machines.
But the difference is something a good friend of mine said years ago:
The Japanese engineer will make something 5% more complicated to make it 100% better.
The German engineer will make something 100% more complicated to make it 5% better.
If you've ever had to fuck with the window tracks in an e36 you'll know how true this is...

Danm you SC, I wish I had an E36 m3, it is one of the 2 cars I would ever sell the supra for (the other being a GN). The front of an e36 is just so......menacing.
with all my mods and my car being complete fixed from the last time i dyno'd i should be putting down over 300hp.. i would guess 310-325 range. possibly more with the open down pipe!! lol
i dunno man a lot of the youtube videos are computer generated those sick kids at the art institute just messing with our heads
will a bugatti veyron beat my car i hope not man my gf would break up with me
