yeah we were bored and I wanted to see the flips night time quality, sorry about my dumb comments lol I just get excited when I race. The actual race doesnt start until 1:40 because that is when we got to the straight away, the mods on both cars are seen in the start of the video.

my guess is that's a pretty much stock 7mgte......at least i hope it is lol. Those 4.3 rear ends really give the NA's some initial pull.

That seemed like a really slow race. Maybe it's my perception- but when you say you're up to 75-80- it's like 15 seconds into a rolling start?

To SupraGuy: Honestly when I started nearing that light I was already at like 80 but I let off because I wanted to make sure the car sitting there wasn't a cop haha then when I stepped on it when I saw it wasn't I was in 4th gear going like 50 so it took a while to go back up+the hills
To Dub: When he gets his downpipe and boost controller going Im going to pull with him again, I expect the outcome to be different haha

There is something wrong with that Turbo Supra.

Seriously. I never had any issues walking NA Supras and 5.0 Mustangs.

+2 I have seen a stock 7m with a mbc and ddp walk a LT1 trans am from a roll. When you decelerate like that, down-shift to get back up to speed.

Btw doesn't surprise me you had him for the most part, it can happen with any car. Not every car out there runs in top shape like one would expect.

They should be about equal on ET when stock. See my original reviews in the refrence section. I have had both. Yeah, the 4.30 helps in the torque department for take off.
