1990 Non Turbo hard top.. Just about the lightest supra there is. :p
W58
Full tank of gas
Me and my dad in it, 3850 pounds
Just me would be 3630
With no one in it (such a useless statistic...) 3470 (But it does make me feel better about buying such a heavy car.. :p)

If that were a 86.5 you could be in the low 3300's. But it doesnt look as good.

In those arcticals it says

First- 1986(1/2) (N/A) runs 15.4 @ 91MPH (Test weight 3580lb)

Sencond- PRE 1989 (N/A) runs 15.8 @ 88MPH (Curb weight 3480)

Third- Pre 1989 (Turbo) runs 15.0 @ 91MPH (Curb weight 3580lb)

Fourth- Post 1989 (Turbo) runs 15.2 @ 93.5MPH (Test weight 3770lb)

I know the turbo's are only rated 30 more HP but they have 60 more torque...

I've had a couple turbo's and N/A models and the turbo just seems so much faster ive raced some N/A's when i was closer to being stock and they just don't keep up.

I understand that time and wear plays a factor i guess i've just never seen a N/A in good shape then.

My n/a was pretty fast for a n/a and prolly could have kept up pretty good to a stock turbo. Until it blew the hg.

Also you can see the variance in those. You can notice that with all the different magizines you will see all the different numbers floating around for the same cars. Its all in the driver.

Also all that tq the 7m has makes it feel faster than it actually is.

Pre-production ringer. Run that time and speed through a calcuator. With a driving weight of 3750 or so, that is 225 hp. Also, if the cars are not tested on the same day at the same track, they can't be compared.

Sencond- PRE 1989 (N/A) runs 15.8 @ 88MPH (Curb weight 3480)

The sport roof bracing puts the curb weight 70 lbs higher than the 86.5 preproduction hard top car. The ET and speed accurately reflects 200 hp if you calculate the horsepower. A high 15 should be no problem. A mid 15 with a good driver, traction, and air for the 7MGE and W58.

i believe she had, lex afm, 550s, intake, 3 in exhaust, 15psi ish, 57 trim turbo, afpr, i think that is it, if she would have been on stock suspension she probably would have done better, oh and my bad, she ran a 14.1, not a 14.2
