Why dont you just put the boost controller on and then find out when you hit fuel cut? And as for the "how fast is my supra" question, that only works with practical application.

impossible to say who you can beat. just because you have those mods doesnt mean you are definatly making XXX horsepower. There is a horsepower ballpark you should be close to but that depends on alot of things like condition of said motor, tune, weather, barometric pressure, fuel quality, temprature, blah blah blah. how fast your car is depends on its power, weight, driver skill, traction, wind, blah blah blah.....

what im trying to say is its a guessing game, go out and race peope and you'll find out what your car can handle. im going to say it, not to sound like your parents, but be safe if your racing, its not just your life its the others around as well.

I agree with this. There's no way to say which cars you will and won't beat. especially since you can't tell what they are packing. Also, what's the point of racing other completely stock cars just to say you beat em? They're stock!

The street isn't the only place to race. I race my car at the local drag strip, and compete in autocross when it comes to town. Both of which are safe environments for me to push my car's limits, and if someone gets hurt, ambulances are on-hand. But they aren't free.
