Dont get me wrong, i love supras. They just arent really great at doing anything other then highway racing, unless they are a purpose built drag car (but what fun is that).
and single turbo FDs aren't peaky?

Welcome back to the club, fastrx7man!!!


Mine suggestions for an otherwise beautiful car:

Adjust the headlight covers and perhaps swap out the wing for a '99-spec.

Have you ever seen a well tuned single turbo rx7s dyno sheet or even ridden in one for that matter. They aren't very peaky at all. I can see if they put a rediculous sized turbo on them, any car would be peaky at that point, due to lag alone. My car has full boost around 4500 rpms and has very good power under the curve on up to 8000 rpm. Supras "typically" dont build real power till the last 2000 rpms of their power band when they are making anything over 600+ whp.
