Dr. ZO6 Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 From what I saw - in the five or so of those videos that I watched - the Supra didn't seem that fast. Also, beyond seemingly being very fond of himself and his car, he also uses a lot of those phrases that are borderline ricer, such as "I was on low boost," "I didn't downshift," "I was spinning in third gear," "This was the old set-up," and so forth.Here's the vid of him racing the R1:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTVyfZyBe-cNotice how all of the "racing" consists of him doing (ricer-esque) fly-byes? They never got off a clean run - instead, the Supra guy seemed to be content to just give the R1 guy a fly-bye and then get it on camera as though that's documentation of him beating that caliber of bike. Here's the vid of him racing the Haybusa:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHDbR5sozEwHe just got plain walked by the Haybusa. So, exactly how fast does your car need to be to get walked by a Haybusa? Hmm. Here's the vid of him racing a 750:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWN_lbtVxIgOkay, it was a clean start, and he put a carlength or so on the 750. Wow. I did the same thing in a sprayed Z06. Also, what year is that 750? I don't know much about bikes, so you guys will have to let me know if it was actually half-way impressive for him to have done that to that particular bike. I don't put much stock into the outcomes of the races with the cars. For instance, he says the Trans Am was "heavily modded." What exactly does that mean? Since he wouldn't let us hear the cars - instead, he had some gay ass music blaring over top of the runs - you can't really make any guesstimations based on the sound (e.g., does it have a heads-cam set-up?). Also, his camerawork mostly sucked - so we don't know if he put all those carlengths on those cars, like the VW and the Trans Am, like he said he did.

snredrum Posted July 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 haha, you are right about some of the races he did. but he is claiming 811rwhp out of that supra. That's quite a bit. And yes, I know your car is damn fast!!! I can't wait to see it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. ZO6 Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Yeah, 811hp is no joke regardless. And, to be honest, I'm a huge fan of Supras (and, in fact, of the other three cars that make up the "Big 4" - the RX7 FDs, 3000GTs, and Nissan 300Zs).
