is something like this even street capable?

That's an incredibly good looking graph! Almost impossible to pull away from a stop sign without spinning it, lol. Makes me wonder if they had the dyno & gear in agreement. WOW!

300 shot of nitrous... that's how you get a GREAT graph. But i don't think it would be too crazy. Just don't get jiggy with the throttle until you absolutely KNOW you're ready.

The turbine streamliner I had was in that power level (~1600hp with afterburners on). But the difference was I could keep the power on for nearly minutes at a time with enough fuel.

Everything was nice and calm until I put the hammer down and then speed kept building and building!

anyways good luck

Awesome car! Wish my car had at least a quarter the power of what he has.

I'm gonna say no. That car was insane. I see a lot of parts breakage in it's future however.

Yes it is.

All fear the 2JZ.

I've watched 900-1100hp Supras try to Auto-X. It was laughable, yet sad. The poor things sound like they need a tissue with all of the BOV "Sneezing", and they simply couldn't use more than maybe 1/3rd of their power without spinning.

**thefrush** · 08-09-2009, 12:20 PM

k.

A 900-1100hp Supra isn't designed to autocross. What's your point?

That 900-1100hp Supra's are dyno queens.

**thefrush** · 08-09-2009, 01:51 PM

And properly setup ones can run 9s. A bit more horsepower can get you into the 8s. If you're into drag racing, sounds like a good way to go to me?

Dukman said what I was implying.
These 2 guys were kids with too much Mommy/Daddy money, and they'd race down the freeway at over 150 mph regularly.
When they had to use the car for something besides a Long straight, their money was wasted.
Sure, to each their own, but on the Auto-X it was pretty dang funny.

Drag Racing Success is Largely affected by how heavy the wallet is that's pushing the right foot. More Money = More Power= Faster Drag Runs.
Yes, if one is into Drag Racing, it sounds like a Great way to go.
Personally, I'm torn between impressed with the number and unimpressed with the package as a whole, since for ME, a straight is the way to get to the next corner.

Fixed for you.

That would be like autocrossing my s10 tahoe w/o power steering LOLZ

Point taken.

In MANY forms of amateur racing though, an underdog has much more fighting chance thanks to skills.

**MrBirdman330** · 08-09-2009, 10:58 PM

Makes me think of the Autocross I participated at the end of July, kid had a 11 second Volvo and bragged till a friend drug him to the Autocross. Car could not corner, he smashed the most cones of the day and ended up cracking one of his rims.

**PCP_TwilightZX3** · 08-10-2009, 09:34 AM

well for all those trashing on big power supras NOT being able to turn, you just have to do it with a bit more flair

**MichaelXi** · 08-10-2009, 12:51 PM

Not only are those turns VERY "Open" when compared to Auto-X, if that were a Real "Road Racing" situation, that'd only last a few laps until someone who managed their tires better passed him.

**dj_kurruption** · 08-10-2009, 02:08 PM

Wow, the shop that Supra is at (G-Force) is literally 5 miles from where I am right now. What a small world!
