yeah when i had my old T/a my first loss was to a moving late 80's supra it had a big exaust so i decided to toy with him...or at least try to, i had the simple L08 motor (i think thats the name for the 305 TBI) but anywho i get up next to him look at him he just laughs and took off like i was just standing still, but we both got a red light, when it turned green i had his *** for about 5 car lengths, but he just flew by me like a street bike what the hell are those things capible of i mean i didnt hear any blow off valve but it DID say turbo under the supra badge i did feel good to say i got his *** off the line but moving tourque it was all supra

 

Bone stock they were low 15 second cars.

 

thats fast but hopefully my GTA with the L98 gives his *** a run for his money

 

I think you mean LO3 motor, and yes they were low 15s, high 14s stock. But if you add boost to it, they can run 13s, there is no telling what turbo cars have done to them!

 

yeah since it was the 80's style i was expecting it to be as slow as it looked but never judge a car by its looks haha mine looked faster then his but his killed me top end :lala:

 

good luck with the t-type man those are a classic example of unrecognised power i mean those things are still one of the fastest cars stock from the factory when they made it i mean

 

The late 80's early 90's supra turbo's had 220 hp i believe, and i'm pretty sure its lighter than a 3rd gen. With a boost controller and fuel pump, the turbo'ed models can easily push huge hp numbers. But the non turbo's are dogs.

 

I know that you can definatly make that a fast car!!!

 

I hope to get a Turbo Rgal or GN!!! They are the easiest to mod in the GM line, and the 5.0 is the easiest to mod in the Ford line!!! Can we tell my goal in cars!!!

 

A friend of mine has a modded out talon tsi and he's in love with the GN. So hopefully either me or him will own one soon. Let me know if you find any around NE.

 

I took my friend to test drive a Buick GN this summer, he was(and still is) looking for a fast car around 10k, so I found a 10,5k GN in the paper... we went out to see it and it was beautiful, and then we took it for a test drive When I got behind the wheel and stomped on it, it moved at a healthy clip, but I wasn't all that impressed.... well not until it got to about 2500 RPM, and I heard a high pitched wistle... and got sucked into my seat.

yeah

I wouldn't mind a GN or TTA :lala:

 

yeah man its still a 6 cyl so what it lacks in low end tourque it gains once that turbo kicks in, who ever might be able to beat you off the line will be in for a great suprise once the GN hits its powerband

 

Amazingly, those cars keep better torque numbers than the V8s!!! Most V8s with 400+ hp have less torque, whereas the GNs would have over 500 ft lbs!!!

 

yeah those kinda turbo supras can giddy up..

this one guy i was talking to one day had a complete sleeper, the cars exterior was all stock, the only thing that kinda of gave it away was his liscense plate frame.. id said if you dont run 11s they dont even try it, i thought that was a nice touch
