I saw one in Super Street with a 2.0L bored out to a 2.2L turbocharged with an intercooler that took up amost half of the engine bay. It had something around 750HP and 600TQ. Damn Japanese. It said the motor was basically a modified MR2 engine. Car goes over 200 MPH!

Looks to me like the 'Stang really had the Supra until it let off. The video cameraman says "gawd damn" like they just smoked him or something??? I mean WTF?If anything the Stang let off after he realized he got smoked.  You just don't realize how a high powered Turbo works. The turbos take a little longer to generate power which a Supercharged Mustang can do a bit quicker. Which explains why he got a jump on the Supra. There was no way he was gonna win a high speed shootout with out a very, very highpowered supercharged 5.0, and even then drag comes into play with the earlier model Mustangs! I love my 5.0's, I've got one myself, I run a business mostly focused towards Mustang Performance, but you need to give props where props belongs!!! Gawd Damn

In the JTCC series, the infamous "Castrol Supra" is running a 4 cylinder engine. TRD found that they could extract enough power from the 4 banger that it didn't warrant the weight and other penalties that the 6 pot would bring. Indeed, it's a variation of the Mk2 MR2 turbocharged engine. I am sure there are people who have successfully copied that setup.

and we wont even talk about how bad that thing would look next to a 427 comp car or MK II. :rolleyes: apples and oranges... you can always pick a race style, or even a track for that matter, that highlights a cars ablities. 850hp and 700lb/ft of tq is incredable on a stock drivetrain.

DId you watch the other movies? Unless your RR is turbo'd, I doubt it. That particular Supra will probably beat 95% or more of the N/A street bikes out there from 60 MPH. One thing that helps is the NOS he's using to spool up the Turbos. Watch him take the Busa and Gixxer 1000 too. Originally posted by Escort1991:
No, he has a mod list. But WTF, why is he running stock block/head/intake/tranny/diff/driveshaft/ignition/cooling/oiling/charging,etc, he's going to blow the thing up.
One thing that I noticed is they never raced from a complete stop. Also that 900RR would have had a run on him, but the biker wasn't even crouched down to race. I want to see that Supra against my 900RR and see what happens.

Heh, I don't think you realize how racing works. See whoever is ahead when they let off is the winner, flybys don't count even if the guy behind is gaining. The 'stang won this race, sure call him a chicken for not wringing it out, but he still won... Sure he was *about* to get beaten, but he didn't. 'Course I know I'm going on kind of a technicality here... trust me I know it takes quite an unusual mustang to generate a kill top end wise against a supra... if they started at 120+ the 'stang simply wouldn't have a chance! Rereading my post though I could see why you responded the way you did though... I didn't really emphasize the fact that I knew the supra was going to pass him sooner or later. I guess I'm just pissed that with the "gawd damn" comment by the passenger it makes the 'stang look like it got smoked much worse than it actually did...

The terminal velocity for cars would vary according to weight and the physical position of the car falling downward, but it's usually a very healthy 120-130 miles an hour at top speed, which I'm sure this Supra could take.

In a delta a human can hit 210+!!!
P.S. A delta is a position in skydiving.[/b]it would probably depend a lot on which way the car fell. if it took a nose dive, it'd fall a lot faster than if it fell "flat." (this is experience from h.s. physics class )

no one tell SQplus about the terminal velocity conv. he'll go and figure out exactly what speed it could go in several differant positions from differant alttitudes and everything,and you guys that know him can testify to it.
