lost to an NA mk4 supra.
yep, ran into a 93+ supra tonight and he caught me offguard and got a good launch. i totally bogged first, then i missed third. couldnt have gone any worse 
anyways, i'm only @ 7 lbs of boost and he had full exhaust (it sounded like it) and intake as well. i got him from a roll in 3rd though,

You should have challenged him again since you lost off the line. I am kinda suprised that you beat him off a roll, because Supra's have great top end power over most cars. Then again, most Supras have a good amount of power running through them, besides intake and exhaust.

i'll drive around and see if i can find him once i get my RB catback and hks bov installed. is this catback really the biggest factor in my car being limited at 7lbs of boost? i have a downpipe and straightpipe, is this stock catback holding me back?

How did you know it was a N/A Supra? There were some TT Supras that came without the rear spoiler. I think with the Supra, the only way of knowing if it's TT is if the wheels are 16"s...but that's stock.

it was a non-turbo. i talked to the dude for a second before he got the jump on me at the light. i asked him if it was a twinturbo. he said, 'nope'
i said, 'oh, ok.' like i was faster or something
all he had to say to me was, "what year is that?" i responded with "87"
then i said, 'well man, thats a nice supra. you wanna run em?'
he revs up for a split second and drops the hammer, i think 'ah ****' and go 'bog bog bog' as i slowly accelerate until i hit 4k and start boostin.
i should TOTALLY be able to take an NA supra. is my stock catback holding me back?

I beat a MKIII supra last weekend! they are pretty fast with the right driver. From what i could see and here the car only had a catback exhaust? We raced 4 times! 40 mph roll ons, the first time we droped i was sitting in second gear @ 4500 rpms, as soon as i heard his turbo's start to spool i double clutched 2nd to 7500 rpm into fifth gear!
opps! So we had a few more runs same roll ons 40 mph, 2nd gear 4500 rpm and a double clutch into third gear up to 80 mph than shut it down! i only had about 1.5 to 2 cars on him but my pile of **** still out leged a beautiful super car, the blond that was in the passenger seat of the supra was not vary impressed!
I'm pretty sure the supra was an automatic!
