Have to love the turbo power, especially when it's large displacment v/s forced induction smaller motor...
Ultimately, the more powerful car/engine combo wins, and it's nice to see a high HP MK3 put away a "classic" muscle car...
The reaction of the crowd cracks me up.. they are all ready to climax when the Chevelle jumps off the line, then have a limp moment when the Supra wins past half track... Typical domestic reaction.
Problem is, there are so many V8 guys out there that will claim "Ricer flyby" when your car makes more power, and passes them when your NOT at the track, and have a finish line..
Nice win. I say sell the Chevelle! And post some pics of your Supra man.

The way I see it...........
Hell Yeah! Way to represent!
BUT........Please stop posting this event that interests so many people, and disapearing to not answer any questions. It is true that the same questions keep being asked, but maybe they wouldn't if you would answer them every now and then. Yes, the beer can question was answered in the other thread, but you yourself saw the need for a new thread so that more could see it. Some people did not see that thread. my.02 /rant!

To be fair, there is also suspension, correct gearing, right rubber, making sure your spotter lines you up right (in the fat rubber), driver cuts tree, shifts on time, etc, oh yeah, and the most desirable factor...luck!

It's so true.
I can tell you first-hand from my experiences at local tracks in Socal (where you'd think they'd have a clue), I have beaten plenty of guys (usually have mullets) who thought they were gonna wax me. And to make it worse, I'll get challenged by their buddy (also usually w/ mullet) who knows I ran faster then his small-block ________ (fill in blank space w/ any GM body style) 'cause he just can't see how he could possibly get spanked by "jap crap". What a f*ckin' joke!

I agree, but I think they're starting to get hip to reality. Which kinda sucks.
I'm not seeing as many of the worlds most sought after human-being (a fish) as I did even 2 years ago. FWIW, it looks like the word is getting out.:icon_frow
First import to beat a domestic? Your a trailblazer!
Fixing up a dom is easy,you can get parts for them at your local 7-11,but taking a import like the Supra and kicking ass? Totally awesome.
You need a cape billowing behind you or something!!

Your dad's pretty funny.
I know it's hard to appreciate it now, but that's hysterical.

Yeah he's an f-ing riot..... :3d_frown:
I know he's just messing with me, he actually rebuilt the block and head for me so maybe deep down he's just jealous... nah probably not.
still would love to send him the clip if it is indeed a 7m. (Dont get me wrong the Chevelle is my favorite Muscle car, so im not bashing it.)
