I have a friend with a 1998 Quicksilver Supra (maybe 30 made in this color) that had a T04R turbo kit (smaller AR housing), front mount, full HKS Dragger exhaust, AEM ecu, injectors and twin fuel pumps that put 705 RWHP to the ground on a stock motor. He never even cracked open the valve cover to change cams. He drove it to and from the dyno (300 miles round trip in the salt and snow) and uses it for a weekend car that does low 10s in the quarter. The ironic thing about it all was that although he had to use 105 octane that he kept in a drum at his house, he got 30 mpg on the way to, from, and including his dyno runs that day. This car would easily do 200 mph. I know he had the thing hit the 180 mph mark and it was still pulling, HARD! He is a very good tuner and is renound for tuning GM's LT cars.
He sold that Supra, bought a Viper to twin turbo, and then bought another Quicksilver Supra to see if he could get 800 RWHP out of a stock motor. The Viper is due back from the shop any day and is expected to put down a little more than 1000 RWHP, not that it is remotely practical.

he sold it and has a Supercharged viper that supposedly has just under 1000HP.

Every time I think the Supra VS. FD argument has vanished SOMEBODY has to revive it. Really, who gives a flying ****? They are 2 different cars. Shut the **** up already... Argue over something more worthy... Like what's better... A Firebird or a Camaro.

Supras are a piece of **** and so are Vipers. They may have a lot of power but both are overpriced and overweight. An RX7 with intake and exhaust has a better weight to power ratio than both of these cars. And my friend just said that when he looks at a Supra he asks himself "should this car be on the track or should it be grazing on pasture (moooooo- got milk) because the rear of the supra reminds him of a fat black old womans ***.

Who cares about Supras having 10-20 mph more top end than rex's. How many people actually race up to that speed without chickening out? Let's get practical, most races involve a quarter mile not an Autobahn.
