What kind of car is this that I'm racing? The clown tried to stage his rear wheels on me.

What's the difference between a 600hp supra and a 1200hp supra?

Nothing, they both run 12s

That night was 11.6 So far it's 11.5

It's only getting lower. I have to improve my 60.
Keep in mind now. I've never raced before. I'm a noob at the track. Lol

I'm confident that you can.

I'm making some changes for this rental we have next week. Jerry's gonna retune for me. So we will see what happens. The f***ing heat down here kills me.

Yea...definitely needs a driver mod lol

First time I ever went to a drag strip I saw a Supra launch, spin, stop then take off on the track and still managed an 11.8 @ 125mph...I was just in shock. Then got a better launch and did like a 10.2@138...

It takes a real good driver to launch a supra at the track.
Supras are highway cars hence the drivers trap speed.
It's a shame because nothing breaks on the supra, no matter what you throw at it. Driveshaft, Engine Internals, Diff.......all very good right from factory.
