potential fd VS supra race
 

so, ive got 2 friends that are talking about running, a 380rwhp fd and a 433rwhp supra.

who do you think would win?

FD easily. that extra 50 whp isnt ganna make up for 800 lbs...

This should be interesting.

sounds like a good race to me, rx7 shouldnt have a problem !!

The 7 can't lose!!

On the street from a dig the FD will take out the Supra...or should with a competent drive. On a roll it would be darn close.

I got all my money on the 7...

off topic but a similar situation..a buddy of mine w/450whp Fd is going to race a 510whp Supra...i told him that he would win but he's scared that he'll lose...who's going to win?

run em from a dig

450whp FD will roll with 650 in a supra

Well calm down people we dont know anything yet.

Is It an MKIV?
Is it vvti?
Is it a 6 speed?
Is it an NA-T?
Is it weight reduced?
Dose it have a built motor?
LSD?
Tourque converter?

Horsepower is just a number, for all we know he/she could have full power at 3,000 rpm.
I just dont want to see another FD go down in such a way like that again. Find out plan, use your head. FYI If it dose not have an lsd,or is na-t, or is a 6 speed, I would go from a dig or from a very low pull. High speeds the supra should pull on him.

A vid would be nice.

This should be a good race, but i've seen some VERY fast Supra's with little to no mods at all. (Of course, i know that our cars are similar and weigh less)

I raced a MKIV w/ all bolt ons claiming 451rwhp. From a 2nd and 3rd gear roll to the end of 4th. Pulled on him slowly put lengths on him each time. I remember passing him and cutting into his lane about 2 car lengths ahead and kept putting a few more by 140mph. The only negative factor being he had a light passenger. I was solo. It was a fun night! He should not have a problem even if he is a granny shifter.

Should be a good match from a roll but I think the 7s got it, especially from the dig. Definetly the 7.

its going from a dig, its a mk1V supra TT, 6-speed bpu.

fd is bnr stage 2 nonsequential twin, street port by gotham racing.

its a quarter mile run to be exact.

a decent rule of thumb is 10rwhp for every 100lbs. so if fd makes 380 the supra will need atleast 460.

Sounded like when i raced my friends NA-T 450rwhp in my FD. But i dont think i was anywhere near 330rwhp but prob like 280-290rwhp.

I had one person, his car was full. Him, his girl, his friend and his girl in the back. So thats like what? an extra 350-400lbs? (if guy was 150-200 and the 2 girls were 100lbs each). So thats 1k plus weight. But had 200hp more.

Anyway, late 2nd pull from 50mph. He caught lead and held by one car length, i stayed with him until about 100mph, then he pulled slowly more til 120mph. I say he beat me by 2 1/2 car lengths at 120.

If its from a dig and only a 1/4 mile the 7 should win hands down unless ur buddy screws up the launch or his shifts. The Supra driver will need to be perfect to stand a chance.

he has the cocky, supra owner attitude.

he thinks nothing stand a chance against him in a straight line.

funny thing is, the race is about a month away, and the friend with the fd is about go single and aiming for a tad over 500rwhp before the race, so i guess the supra will be in for a surprise, ill try and get it on video from the stands when it happens

I'm a huge Supra fan but, since its from a dig and only a 1/4 mile long, the Supra doesn't stand a chance unless hes running drag slicks and your friend doesn't go single yet.

With a 1/4 run it really is all about the launch with two vehicles that have similar power to wieght. The RX7 usually can come out harder than a 6speed supra, especially on the street. Your friend may end up being the one in for the surprise though if he is not used to launching a single turbo vehicle...if he goes with a big turbo.

What is so diff about launching a single turbo?

takes a bit longer to spool than twins.

Im going to say the rx7 and it's not because im a rotor head, i just think with the supra weighing so much the rx7 is going to do better out the hole and everything

If he goes single and learns to launch it... the supra will get :pokeowned
