$340,000 Supra (and climbing)

[CAHEK]

Somebody is selling a 600HP Tri-Turbo V8 Supra on eBay. Include a "$20k+" audio/video setup. The hood shots look sweet and if it wasn?t for the mandrel bends, I?d say it was a bottleneck

the only reason he might get it is cause it's TRI-TURBO definately a one of a kind type deal, and its worked to shit v-8? i've never seen that before my boy has a supra he's got a bigger motor its a 3.2 liter but its a bored out 2jz it's not a v8 what in the crack

totally not worth it

[jackson]

why spend 350k on that when you can spend 125k on the abflug supra and it's one of the sickest looking cars on the road... no doubt

[Furious_Male]

Thats a 40k car at best. I can't even imagine trying to tune a "tri turbo" which is something I have never heard of. I will have to run that by my tuner.

The odd thing is the Supra guys turn much bigger numbers than 600 HP with there dyno queens. I don't see any dyno charts supporting even that medium figure.

Look at that thing then think of what other Autos you could buy with 340k. what a joke

[cayne]

damn, that's a hot car, looks like from fast and furious...

[quiet]

[cluck]

Automatic transmission?

V8, tri-turbo and an AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION?

WTF are some people thinking? Is there a racing circuit just for pussies?

hey that's awesome! By the way 320k is a heafty price to pay for death. You could get a 400hp corvette for $50k easy. Spend a little cash and beef it up.

[sexykitten]

I was just about to say....AUTOMATIC????? WTF!!!

[Basic_man]

Dang, this supra is freak!

[sexykitten]

k, seriously, the Supra is my all time favourite car. In my lifetime I *will* own one, but 340,000???!!! (I'm still in shock)


*drooling* hot damn! I want a supra!

tru that man my boy has a 94 supra TT with around 600hp worked to shit and it's only worth 50k this guys just tryin to make cash of the idea that it's tri turbo if thats even possible and automatic how does that work i don't think the stock tranny can handle 600 hp... and like u said i've never heard of that before and 600hp is shit

[Veterans Day]

automatics are way more consistent than any stick car and driver. Sorry youll never beat an automatic at high horsepower levels. Guaranteed

[Marcus Aurelius]

send cash immediately!

[BigVlad]

hehe supra for 350k, imagine that

[jt420]

Sometimes an automatic tranny is better for high horsepower cars because it doesnt get as beat up in the launch, not saying its as fun as a manual though. The triturbo is a stupid gimmick to me. Most supra tuners actually remove the twin turbo system and opt for one bigger turbo for efficency. My friends dad has a 600 horse power supra and it was one of the nicest tuned cars i have ever seen.

Sweet car!

an automatic with a transbrake will spank any driver with any manual transmission any day of the week, period

[jackson]

see the problem is though when you switch our from twin turbo to single turbo your losing a lot of the low end power so your power band would only be between x (ie 4k rpm) and x ( 8k rpm) not saying that it's not faster that all depends on the size of the turbo but think of it as now that you have a single larger turbo it takes longer for it to spool so theres turbo lag with a twin turbo you have 0 lag because one turbo works the low rpm range and the other works the high range so theres no loss of power.. i've heard of guys shooting NOS directly into the turbo to spool up some of the bigger single turbos faster i dunno i wish i had one lol in time in time..

200 mph now I have heard it all

[jackson]

A Level 10 auto tranny with a 4,200 rpm stall and 650hp propels this car to 10 second quarter mile passes and a 200mph top speed.

it's possible and if he was in import racer it's probably legit..

Nice

Drag racing yes no doubt. Twistys not a chance in hell.

Unless you drag race your car 1/4 or 1/8 mile on a consistent basis I see NO reason to ever own an automatic in a sports car. That just takes all the fun out of it.

I dont deny that 1 bit but that car uses a 4600 stall so you know it NEVER sees road courses. Sticks are fun but highly inconsistent. No ifs ands or butts about it.

Agreed that car is built to go in a straight line. I still wouldn't trade my stick cars in for an auto in a million years. Ive actually got pretty good with each car. Its all a matter of knowing your machine.

street racing, drag racing you will never be as consistent as an automatic, sorry.

No because there is room for human error. However oval track, twistys (road courses) the stick has a huge advantage. With the proper clutch it can withstand a beating without heating up like an auto would and allows the driver to use his skill. You can not downshift properly going into turns with an automatic without beating the hell of it (dropping it into L1 or L2 etc.).

there is a place for both.
