I have a 2005 9-3 bsr stage 1 with bsr intake and my friend keeps asking me to race his '93 stock non turbo supra about 220 hp. my car is about 215 hp his is a manual mine is auto. is he going to embarrass me or will this be close?

 

[putergod]

If his is non-turbo, and stock, I think you'll edge him out. When I first saw the title of this thread, I assumed turbo, and immediately thought "you'll get raped", lol. My mom had a 91 Supra turbo (back in 91) and that thing was bad. Highly underrated.

 

[leetwoah]

dont run him from a dig cuz he will hook alot better! run em from a 40 roll and u should get em

 

[9-3gotboostAERO]

60 roll and it wont be even close. boost limited in 2nd gear means a 40 roll will make it a close race

 

[Dfunk415]

I think it will be close no matter what. I raced a buddies 89 7m and got waxed from a 60 roll but then again he was turbocharged and about 300 hp. I really think you could take a n/a supra from any speed but it will be close.

Gotta love the racing posts!!!

Personally I have taken on cars that were faster then mine, I have a stock 04 Aero with a 6 spd and a 10 inch subwoofer in the trunk. I took on my friends 06 Acura RSX Type S with intake, headers, exhaust combo first from a stop he took me as previously stated first and second gear in our saabs arent impressionable and he took off while i lagged behind. From a rolling 60 start he had no chance even with his high revving VTECH. Honestly though its all in how you drive sometimes, i would say do the rolling start and put his supra where it belongs...in your dust.

I see a LOCK coming soon...lol

I see a LOCK coming soon...lol

As long as things stay within the speed limits of the public roads, or on a track where racing belongs, then there'll be no need for a LOCK......
..........But, if things stray outside of legal, then yes, the LOCK won't be far behind.

supra, from a roll or a dig doesn't matter

 

[Last_saab_standing]

MY CAR( 05 aero )is in the shop for the spec stage 2+ clutch ,lightweight flywheel, downpipe,catback, and bsr stage 3 upgrade.
do you think i stand a chance racing a late model toyota mr2 from japan (right side drive).?
i will love to smoke im but i cant take a chance of loosing since hes a big mouth and im working everyday with that guy...

 

[volcomstone2262]

see what engine he has. I know a couple people from other forums with mr2's, and they are quick ****s if they are turbo.

 

[saabhutter]

I'm thinking about buying an 07 9-3 aero (250hp) now will i have nothing to worry about?

 

[putergod]

MR2 Turbo is extremely quick (due to it weighing next to nothing)... Don't even think an '07 Aero can tangle with one.

 

[saabhutter]

no his isn't a turbo.. just stock 220 hp.. i know nothing about racing but a v6 250hp turbo against non turbo 220hp? i think i'd have him

 

[putergod]

I see, you're talking about the Supra...
Keep in mind that 220hp non-turbo has 0 turbo lag... And the straight six in the Supra has a tremendous amount of torque. Would still be tough, but definately not outside the realm of possibility. The Supra is a pretty heavy car, so that helps in your favor.

 

[04_maine aero]

Alright from my best knowledge

As far as the supra if your planning on ending up with an 07 aero, ya you'd have turbo lag it would be a good race however if both of you are equal drivers or your better you should edge him out from a roll or dig it wouldn't matter

As far as the mr2, if it's a n/a you shouldn't have a problem at all however if it's a turbo you'll have your hands full

Stock the mr2 turbo puts out 200 hp
Your putting out Tuned Stg3 268HP / 309Ftlbs with the bsr stage 3

It'd be close, i think it would depend really on the driver, if he's got any mods he'd probably take you

 

[carsnrockmusic]

I fail to see the point of this thread. Why not just race them and see who wins?

 

[9-3gotboostAERO]

because people hate losing now a days...
They dont see the fun in just racing.

When i tracked my car I almost lost to a modded jetta VR6
He ran a 15.1 @ 95mph, I ran a 15.0 @ 92mph.
If the race went further then a 1/4 mile I wouldve lost lol

But I still had a lot of fun, now that Im modded I should have no prob hitting a 14.8 or 14.7

 

[saabhutter]

Haha well I live in Canada so no racing until the summer. I just wanted to know for knowledges sake.

 

[PTCsanchez]

You will take him. Na supras are dogs. Trust me I had one. It was only a 7m. But still.
