My s4 FC vs. 2nd gen Supra

Well, I'm coming home from work in Victorville, going down a main road near the highway. Not much traffic since I get out a little later.
Anways, I'm driving normally, and a white Supra comes up on me, then moves to the right and passes me. I look over, and this guy and his buddy are looking me up and down with huge smiles on. I'm not sure about racing him as he pulls off pretty quick and gets in front of me.

We go a mile or two to a stoplight, and he swerves over into the other lane, allowing us to line up. Ok, so he wanted to go. I don't usually street race, but I know the area pretty well, and it was a wide two lane road each way. Not like I was gonna go very fast in my N/A as it is.

I look at him, and he gives me another, "Easy kill smile" and his buddy starts laughing. I turn and look at the other street light. It turned yellow, then red. I counted to two, then punched. Take off was smooth, no screeching, but I heard him burn out a bit. We're head to head in first, I throw it to 2nd and screech tires, I gained about 3 feet on him. I heard him shift hard into 2nd as well. He's lined up with my back tire at this point. I threw it into 3rd, and instantly gained about a car length on him. I mis-shifted into 4th, but by that time, I was 4-5 cars ahead. I looked back and saw his buddy flailing his arms for some reason. I shut it down at 105, and braked a bit. He blows past me.

Next stop sign, he looks at me with a kinda mad look, then shook his head and gave me a good race motion, then burned out around the corner.

My mods:

Intake mod (drilled with filter)
Full custom exhaust with gutted cats
Turbo driveshaft and differential

Not much, so he definitely wasn't turbo >.>

I friend of mine has a MKIV supra non turbo. I was in my brothers old FC, each of us had passanger, and from a 40 mph roll, we were dead even, around 80 he started to pull but barely. My bros NA FC only had a intake, and racing beat cat back, and 110k on the clock. I still love driving NA's soooo much. I mean I love my turbo, but NA power feels beautiful!

That's pretty awesome! I've always wanted to race a Supra, and a 2nd or 3rd gen is a solid respectable kill for us!

Oh, and Turbo23, your run with the MkIV is ****** impressive.
