apparently the supra is madly tuned and running a suspected 1200 hp

R


same guy owns both cars, and it's no surprise that a big power supra can leave an LP640, look on youtube and you'll even see a nissan patrol doing it, I still know which I'd rather be driving, and it's not a toyota (patrol obviously wink).

I dont think the Lambo is trying, if he is he's making a bowl of mince out of it.

The guy who made the vid owns both the Supra and Lambo he is a member of Lambopower.com

The Lambo is trying and very hard but the Supra is just modded too much for the LP to keep up.

He just made the vid for some fun.

Supra should win. Double the bhp/ton.

Power is easy, class & style are not wink

hehe Yeah okay, doesn't the Supra have like twice the power?

I'd still rather have the lambo as well though.

Sounded like the lambo was trying to me. Not surprising it was outgunned though, yanks have been able to get 5-600 HP from n/a cars since the 60's. Japanese tuners can easily approach 1000 BHP from their own turbo models. You pays your money and takes your choice. There will always be another man with a bigger cigar, so leave competitions to the willy wavers.

Everyone thinks they have the prettiest wife at home, mine really is though. biggrin

Yeah, and stick a turbo on the Lambo... Then see what happens.

But how long until the supra needs a full engine rebuild because it cant cope with the pressure?

Toyota used to over engineer everything back in the late 80s, a well built supra block can actually live with 1000bhp for a surprisingly long time.

As someone has already said, the supra might be fast but you can't buy style.

I heard that the supra in question needs a full engine rebuild every 3000miles...

Staged!

The Supra pulls ahead even before you hear the turbo spool up.

And while on the subject of noise, nothing short of Cameron Diaz panting in my left ear comes anywhere close to an Lp at full chat! Class.

and how do you explain the part of the video where Ron Jeremy in the LP640 (well that is who he looks like) pull ahead of the supra then all of a sudden turbo engages and leaves the LP for dead?? It has 1200bhp there is nop denying it has more pwer plus weight. I would like to see the same race against the twin turbo murci some yank has created.

I'd like to see the race include a couple of corners and one damp leaf on the road spin

For those with a short attention span you need to go about a minute in to see the LP really on song. That said, the supra still drives by at a ridiculous pace once it's on boost.

I'm sorry but I still think the lambo driver is pants.
I'm happy to believe that the Toyota could be an easy winner on any occassion, but that Lambo is not getting opened up here.
