I love the engine sound coming from that Supra. 227 in 1 mile

Although its sounds cool how do we really know he was going 227mph in 1mile?

That is stupid fast.

My frend has a Supra. with TT running 22psi and it is F-A-S-T!

That's fast:rock: :rock:

yeah i owned a 1997 TT supra when i got out of high school and owned my own business lol got rid of it first time i out ran a cop at 200mph they are fast as hell and sooo easy to get speed out of. granted mine wasn't in 1 mile and only think if i remember correctly was 18psi so had room to increase lol

Seems like he slowed down awfully fast from a top speed of 288. Think he would need more time and road than than even with good brakes. Parachute??? :dontknow:

 

[luvsrt]

I think thats what he was reaching for near the end. Had to be a chute.

 

[AWDisuzu]

yea, hitting the brakes at that speed might start 4 little fires!

 

[RedSrt007]

wow..he spun when the boost kicked in 3rd gear lol

That car makes a lot of power but he was only running 32 psi. On that turbo, GT47-88 he wasn't even in his efficency range. On a Supra a GT47-88 is easily capable of 1500+ hp. I am guessing he was running lower boost because of tire spin issues. From what I am understanding they are going to run more boost next year just ramp it up differently through the AEM. 40-45 psi in 4th and 5th gear no telling what it would top out at.

I suppose being this was a sanctioned event that there are some guide lines to what kind of tire they can run. From what I seen no was was running anything stickier than a normal street tire.


There is another member of the Supra forums with a very similar setup that intends to compete next year. If these 2 guys can hook up and start trying different things and compare data back and fourth between the 2 of them the mark might get set really high next year.

This is a Early Warning for the unlimited mile competitors...I know a viper owner who is building a TT car for this event......it will be stripped....lowered and have huge HP......I would not bet against this tuner......he already owns the street tire world record....
