    I'd take the stang over the supra because I just plain and simply think Supras are boring. Everybody and their brother has a stupid fast one. It was cool seeing my first couple single turbo Supras at shows and whatnot but then they all just look the same.

    How fun is a car really when it doesnt even start to pull until 60+ mph? I like a very responsive car that pulls really hard up to 140 or so but I see no practical reason to go any faster than that, especially on the streets.


    Im sorry dude, but you just said everbody and there brother has a stupid fast one!! Yeah.... THere are a lot of them running around, infact I seen 5 supras this morning on the way to work, and no mustangs!

    I dont like speed either, which my car right now probably tops out at like 145-150mph, and I would much rather race from a dig....Hun, pretty strange coming from a supra owner isnt it?
    I have a couple friends right now with some beast(Cobras) they are both using the KB's, and one is pushing close to 600hp, which he is fixing to go with the twin turbo setup! The other is a 04 cobra that the motor was sent off, built and blue printed, and strickly runs c16 and pushing around 700-750hp! I like mustangs, and wouldnt mind building a bad one, but I wanted to build a supra instead!

    A twin turbo o3 cobra should have no trouble making 1000+ hp man with the right turbos. A whippled cobra will be limited due to the inherent inefficiency of the twin screw superchargers.

    Oh and whos supra makes 750 rwhp on pump gas assuming you are talking about 93 octane? I sure would like to see that.

    Okay, that number was just off the top of my head, the actual number is closer to 700whp.... T88H on 22psi PUMP gas.... the actual dyno was 698whp on Pump and 900 something on Racegas.... pretty close to 1000. there are a lot of T88 Supras out there..... and there are a lot of different turbos bigger than a T88.

    Yes, 93 octane.

    Thanks for the correction Windsor!!!

    I'd like to see what the powerband looks like with a T88 on a 3.0L? Is that small frame real 88mm turbo like a PT88 or a Greddy T88 which is like a 70mm or 72mm wheel?
