I'm talking 1/4 mile now :D

 

Why is it that the 300zx struggles to get into the high 12's doing the 1/4 mile when a stage 1 supra ie around 1 bar of boost on oem turbos can get into the 11's?

 

Both similar power, both similar weights, both RWD

 

Answers on a postcard :tongue:

But would it fit

 

not easily no and a second hand box is 2-3k

its all about tyres my mate done 12,8 in his lightly modified zx but run on toyo r888 and that made big diff ..

and yes look at this launch

 

That seems to squat perfectly :cool:

Very interested when I saw this post, very much doubt theres much stage one about that Supra.... To make a sub 12 run especially if that WAS at Santa Pod!! :eek:

 

Mighty impressed to say the least if it is inded on stock twintubs!! He does have a lower trap speed so must be good in the launch and good gearing/changes.:cool:

 

My Brother has a Big Single (mk4) Supra, and it's currently making making 661bhp (Fly) @ 20psi, his best time @ Pod (though with few boosting issues) so far is 12.1 on road tyres -Don't get me wrong he will get those sub 12's when the boost problem is fixed and more so on drag radials But here is his spec sheet and it's far from stage one!!

I won't put his Exterior/interior bits----------Must say though, would REALLY love to see more 300's do the 1/4!!!! C'mon zedders!!!

 

(Did see an awesome white beasty at Snetterton Modified Live-which I'd never heard of/seen before-'whiffbitz'???)

Just read that and it does appear to be mvery minor mods, WOW!!! Very very impressed, though I didn't think the times woulda been at Santa Pod, even still thats pretty amazing....

i like the Z, but you gotta love the 2J. have you sen the power the stock internals can handle?

 

 

lets not all be biest as were on here, but i think the Supra is a better car than the Z :x:

it is (not in looks by a long way) because toyota had the zed to work from without the zed the supra wouldn't have been the car it is, this is a know fact and is stated in many write ups

and now you may leave.

i dont think that is correct,

 

the Z has been around since the 60s,

 

and the Supra has been around for quite some time aswel! not just the mark4/JZA80 vs the Z32,

 

 

the supra has developed itself for about 20 years, (when they used to call it the celica supra)

djpone is correct, the Supra Mk4 release was pushed back a few years when the Z32 hit the market.

ok sorry,

 

 

just wanted to say that the supra has been around for ages, maybe the a competetor to the Z, but dont think it copied the Z, developed itself :)
