More info required - auto/manual, weight, gearing, electronic traction aids, etc.

And tyres. 911s traditionally are good off the line due to weight transfer and rear drive. If you're talking road-race 3rd gear roll-on stuff, then check the weights of each car and boost the Supra to buggery. PHer Gazboy knows his Supras, probably best asking on Jap Chat as well.

Anyway I thought the whole point of a GT2 was to scare you in the corners, not to just mix it with the specials on the drag strip

This forum is pretty much a txt spk free zone. Can we please try and keep it that way. Oh and while we're at it, ditch the name calling.

What are the answer's to the second posters queries about gearbox type, weight etc.

And now I'm feeling like a prat for answering the question sensibly and courteously. Perhaps I should join in the contempt?

Not trying to sound snobbish, but perhaps the question would have been better received had the OP used proper English instead of puerile 'txt' abbreviations (off topic rant, but I always manage to spell full words when sending text messages via my mobile, why can't anyone else?)

If the OP hasn't been scared away, search the relevant PH forums for VMax - I believe Gazboy's Supra was there, as were a bunch of variously modified turbo Porsches of different flavours. This may give you some 'real-world' figures.

There was also a video posted recently on one of the forums of part of a Gumball event where a couple of lads in a tuned Supra try to keep up with a modified GT2 in the States.

I'd also lean towards the 'what's the point' brigade but there are deadly serious non-chav tuning operations on both sides, so I suppose it's a valid question. Try the Jap Chat forum, you may find the video I'm talking about.
