Wonder what it would do with different diff gears on the VW test track ;)
(they have to be giving some top end away to get the acceleration needed for that short a track)

Would this be the track the Bugatti Veyron was tested on in top gear?

Hmm, let's see 1400 hp and half the weight of a Veyron?

Most likely kill the driver is my guess.

Driving at the kind of speed for as long as the Veyron did would surely be very dangerous in car not designed to do 400+ km/h.

.....

A supra has less drag than a Veyron, this BL Supra in particular has MUCH less.

If this car can do nearly 242 mph in the standing mile I am sure they can go 248+ mph.

When you say "in a car not designed to do 400+ km/h", I am assuming you mean designed by Toyota. Obviously this car has been highly modified, and that statement doesn't hold any ground whatsoever.

No I mean exactly what I said. Boost Logic most likely didn't go through the extensive planning and testing that VW went through when they designed the Veyron to ensure that their car (the Veyron) could actually stay together at 407 km/h for as long as the car had gas in the tank.

If you want to take that Supra around the VW test track at 400+ km/h be my guest and may you rest in peace..

Bah humbug! The mk4 supra can do anything!

Surely BL has done extensive aerodynamic upgrades to ensure it stays sticky side down while going down the 'mile.
