Walked a 2000 supercharghed TA..
Even start in 3rd. I immediately pull 2 and shifted to 4th had 4 1/2 at 125 shut down. We went again and I purposely punched a 1/2 a car behind. i was a half ahead when shifted to 4th. I proceeded to pull in front of him about 2 1/2 ahead @ about 125.We got up to the light a while later and I rolled the window down noticing the supercharger. He asked how much boost I said 15 psi. He then said he can stay even w/ his buddies 67 mm turbo supra ( i doubt it). He told me he was making 470 to the ground (doubt that too). Told him i was only making 375. He didnt believe me. Nice guy nonetheless. We went our seperate ways.

Nice kill! I guess that's what weighing 1000 pounds less will do for ya. Now that I stop and think about it, I do believe that he was making 470. I used to narrowly pull a good friend who had a supra who was making 100 more rwhp then I was back then, 450 to 350.

good kill......
horsepower to weight ratio:
T/A
470 rwhp - 3450lbs --> 0.13623188405797
FD
373 rwhp - 2700lbs --> 0.13814814814815
OK, FD's ratio > T/A's ratio... then you have to add gearing and other factors.
still hard to believe... congrats you have a 10s car.
