Twins Turbo Motorsports RX-7 vs. Supra at Buttonwillow

I searched for this and I don't think its a repost.

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/3...0300cb2917.htm

30 minutes long, crazy passes and blockage from the RX7. Lots of traffic on the track too. THE best track vid I've ever seen. Awesome how the cars and drivers can hold up that long...

Still a good video though. That Supra has a hard time holding corner speed like that FD.

damnit, this is why I never post videos lol.

yeah, looks like it has an edge in acceleration though. RX7 driver has ***** to block like that, almost got rear ended at one point. Should be worth watching again, awesome driving and badass cars.

A friend of mine who races a honda civic hatch in h2 had good things to say about the driver. Good lines proper hand placement and a very technical driver. Last time I showed one of the track vids he bashed the guy saying that even though he passed people he was taking bad lines and such.

Great vid. Great music coming out of engines. And that supra sounded like atleast 500 hp.

The supra driver was good but not great. I seen a couple early shifts from first to second to maintain traction. but besides that i didnt see much technicality.

the funny thing i read a few years ago that twins turbo would never do road racing b/c its not as interesting, you can make up lost time. but now they have discovered it and they like it.

500hp? I would bet its close to 700hp. Id put the FD around 450hp if I had to guess. In my opinion it wasnt even close only thing that made it close was the track traffic that FD was out from the begining untill they started hitting traffic if this was a one on one the FD would have just kept pulling. Great Video Ive never seen it before, props to the supra though i bet that thing is a hand full on the track.
