"yet they get all defensive and "ofended" when a 70K car beats a 250K car, LOL! Stupid Americans, can't even pay for their own roof.. LOL! F-you"

hmmm, who's calling who stupid. that supra is not anything close to a $70 production car. it's specially-built one off that FAR OUTPERFORMS the production version. do you seriouly think the stock supra makes 1200hp?

I'm thinking that what is being demonstrated here is...

One can take a 15 year old Toyota Supra, invest about 10 to 15k in performance mods, bringing the grand total to around 30k, and Absolutely Spank a 350k Lamborghini Murcielago.

Sure, we can argue about Tuner vs Stock, etc. but...

The Fact Is - the Lamborghini Got Beat, and in a Race - Nothing Else Matters!

Exactly, Rosko.

Nobody in the league of wealth will pretty much give a second glance at the Supra. It's just not in this class, no matter how good it performs (tuned or not).

+16 BoostDrop the Boost Up the Boost
Sometimes there's just no reasoning with some of you...

No one ever said that someone, "shopping for a $300K exotic" was considering a 15 year old Supra as a cross-shopping alternative... If this Supra driver could actually afford a Lamborghini Murcielago, he'd surely not even look near a 15 year old Toyota (no matter how brilliant a vehicle the Supra is).

Within the 'TUNER' (dare I say 2F2F) crowd, it's often about the pride of getting the most out of a vehicle at minimal costs, which certainly has been achieved here.

Now, for less than 1/10th the cost of said Lamborghini, this individual has earned some serious bragging rights within his 'performance circle'... ON VIDEO!

Somehow I seriously doubt that the Lamborghini owner/driver will be sharing his defeat with anyone.

So, just for a second, hop down off your High Horse, and simply acknowledge the effort here.

There are modded Supra's at even 700 hps that leave modded Hayabusa in the dust. Truth of the matter, yes for people buying a Lambo for 300k would not consider a Supra...but how does that driver behind the wheel of a Lambo feel after losing to a "SUPRA?"...not all to F'in great, that's for sure, even after spending 300K. Bottom line, if EL34's wife was not riding shot gun, the Lambo would have been 600lbs less lighter and a possible victory...LMAO!!!!

How does the Lamborghini driver feel? Most likely he doesn't care. These cars are bought more often for pleasure, rather than pure performance.

Besides, when a Supra kills a Lamborghini, it means it was tuned.

If the Lamborghini didn't care, he'd never have pressed the accelerator, now would he?

Why all the hostility?

The Supra won, and the driver/owner/tuner should be justifiably proud of his efforts.

These 'Rice Rockets' are not my thing, but this was still pretty cool to witness.

DaHarder,

I can tell you that if I owned a Murcielago and some kid in a Supra wanted to race me, I wouldn't. I don't care if the Supra is stock or tuned, I would have bought my car for my pleasure, not put it at risk of street racing etc.

I suspect most owners of exotics think the same way. In fact, most exotic owners I know (and I know a few) seem to be in the game for show, not racing.

At the end of the day, your still in a supra, and the guy you "smoked" in the Lambo will still have a Lambo. Theres always someone faster out there.

Really! Is it? Because the title pretty much gives it away.

Who would compare a 1200hp car to a 600hp car and expect the 600hp car to win? The badge doesn't matter at all... if they have similar weight, the 1200hp car will always win, unless the tires can't take the power.

To those who are asking what is the Lamborghini owner thinking? He isn't thinking anything. He OWNS both the Supra and the Murcielago. Do your research, check the Lamborghini forums and you will find out that he wanted to see how his 2 cars compared against each other.

Both are superb vehicles for whatever their owner wants them for. The Murcielago isn't exactly a slow poke either.

Who's to say a Supra owner doesn't have a McLaren sitting in his garage too? My brother has a tuned Celica and an A6. Not in the same price league as above Lambo, but same idea.

You can get laid in both on different scenes.

And the Tokyo Drift girls are hot and will love you even if you wreck your tuned Supra. Not the same for the Beverly Hills Blonde!

Either way you go, there is a place for you. But you can't compare a Lambo to a tuned Supra. Different audience. Different Driver. The guy in the Lambo probably borrowed it from his rich Dad to race some guy from school that is cooler than him!

Just because the Supra can be modified does not mean that all of the other aspects of that vehicle are worth ignoring . Fast does not mean refined nor does it mean comfortable or well made . Straight line speed is merely one component of an entire package .

I am not a toyota fan, but if anyone disrespects and rubbishes the supra, even i feel outraged, really, to talk rubbish of supra is like blasphemy, really the supra along with the godzilla GTR are two of the most highly regarded foreign cars in Europe, probably after the 1967 Mustang.

I think Mr. Rosko has a point here. The Supra was only sold in Europe in small numbers because of a lack of demand. For a Toyota, it was very expensive and was also seen as impractical (as stated by Mr. Rosko). The Skyline as far as I am aware was never even sold in Europe but it competed in some European Cup Races with limited success.

"Rosko" and "Bill", all i am saying is that the Supra and the GTR were with regarded with respect in Europe, not necessarily ending in good sales though because Europeans tend to stick to mostly German and British made cars, at least compared to other cars that japanese manufacturers put in European market. And if you tell me that European enthusiasts did not even regard the Supra as a serious performer, then certainly i can not agree with you, because i have family in England and i know how enthusiasts there feel about the supra, not the best in quality or prestige, but certainly a serious performer and an awesome car for your money.

Oh please.

No engine that is heavily modified will run reliably for 5 years. No engine. It won't even run reliably for a few months. The wear and tear will be incredible and accelerate the "destruction of the engine" in a much shorter time.

Heavily modified engines are placed under enormous stress by the new power and torque settings. A Formula One engine only lasts for about 300-600 miles before it is fried, and we're talking about 3-l V10 motors with 700-800-horsepower.

Actually, no it won't... The Supra will need major overhauls quite often aswell... It just so happens that I know a guy with an 800 hp Supra here in Denmark (yes, yes, the Supra does excist in europe aswell) and that engine gets all the vital fluids changed (along with the spark plugs) at every 5000 km, at 10.000 we pull the plugs out and change the rings on them and the turbos are overhauled aswell... Doing this to any car will require extreme maintenance or extremely expensive materials! Gran Turismo and NFSU might have tought you otherwise, but in real life, that just doesn't hold up! And let's just not mention the appaling fuel efficiency...

as I do like the tuner scene, I'm more into autocross and track, since drag racing bores me out.


do some of you realize you can also build a benz or a bmw, hell an audi to make it that fast? the tuner scene doesn't consist of japanese cars if thats what your thinking. tuning firms also make aftermarket parts for euros (dinan for bimmers?) you can build a m3, e63 w/e to make it as fast as a lambo with the right parts an knowledge. chipping a car is also considered tuning as well.

Well... The tuning parts for german cars are quite limited in the US, in europe you have some huge players in the up-market tuning scene, but many of those companies doesn't just perform engine upgrades, they make luxury cars even better... Just look at companies like Abt, Hartge, Alpina, Brabus, Kleemann and the likes... The mercedes companies (Brabus and Kleemann) are especially wellknown for ridiculously fast super mercs and Kleemann will make your merc exactly to your specs... They'll offer you any kind of leather, wood, metal or any other material you can desire... I saw a white Merc CL500 which they had built for a rich japanese guy with harlekin stitched austrich leather (yes, the bird). It looked just fantastic and it was softer than anything I've ever seen. Along with it came a 700 hp engine... but they make sure the car is fully functional with the upgrades, so ESP and the different safety systems still work to the factory specs. They'll even take over the warranty from Mercedes.

Anyway, that is something completely different to this. This is just a couple of big turbos and a some fancy internals slapped onto an engine...

jmr,
Good pick, the end does refer to him being owners of both vehicles. I thought it was strange why he'd post himself being beat by a Supra.

Anyway, who cares about HP? The Evo MR FQ400 only has 400hp and its factory tuned (well, special design division) and will keep up to the Lamborghini in a drag, and it doesn't need boost.

Rosko,
Funny, the Germans are the kings of cranking out useless V12s with 500hp. Brabus' and the rest tuning basically equates to putting some shiney rims on and bigger turbochargers. The Evo has a 4 banger and would smoke everything Germany has to offer.
I'll remind you that whatever Germany does, the US and Japan will do better. Pick a class and a German car and I'll tell you what US or Japanese car will beat it. I'll just save us all some time.
Shelby Ultimate Aero 2.78 sec and 256mph
Saleen S7 TT, 3.2sec and 248mph
Dodge Viper SRT10, 3.5sec and 190mph
C6 Corvette, 3.5sec and 180mph
Nissan GT-R, 3.5sec and 193mph
Mitsubishi Evo MR FQ400, 3.5sec 175mph
Subaru WRX STi, 4.5sec 155mph
Ford F150 SVT, 5sec 142mph
Acura NSX-Type S Zero, 4.5sec and 190mph (not bad for a car predominently designed in 1990 and with ONLY around 290hp).

Because I know you don't know, the only true advantage of having more cylinders is a higher topspeed.

Guys it's not like the Supra is the only car that can be supercharged to slingshot past a Lambo.

I just can't believe there's actually people out there who would drop 70K on a used Supra just because it's Lambo fast...Are you crazy!! I'd rather take that money & spend it on a GT-R which really isn't all that much slower, has it in the handling department, looks way better than the dated Supra, & not to mention way better equipped.

Give me an M3 as well any day over that Supra, you could drive the Bimmer in a practical manor everyday in total comfort, & then hit the tracks with the Bavarian athlete & have more fun than you would in a “straight line thrills only” supercharged Supra.

This topic has more negative boost than that Supra has positive!

I wonder who's screwball idea it was to put 1200 horsepower into an old relic like the Toyota Supra?

They must be nuts!

I can tell you this much the Supra should be called the Poopra based on it's looks.

that can't be a stock supra! i've raced a tuned supra in my e46 m3 and won. We all know the new M3 is as fast if not faster than the E46. So give me a break!!

no big news here, most tuned vehicles outperform stock ones.

but 1200hp supras aren't uncommon nowadays. the technology and advancement over the yearss has some tuners gettting the 2JZ motor int he supra to 1700+ hp. on the stock motor, with the stock twin turbo's you can get about 500hp out of those. and this is on a stock bottom end.

to this day i don't think there is a motor that could take the power the 2JZ delivered in stock form. I mean what other vehicle/motor do you know of that can handle this type of power without improving the bottom end on a daily driven basis? maybe the 4g63 in the EVO's but even that gave way under higher power.

i am eager to see who ups the power of the turbo motor in the bmw to find out its potential...so far, all i've heard is 400-450hp with around the same torque.

Japan copies everyone.

Do you know how we talk about Made in China like it's a joke?...we used to do the same thing about Made in Japan.
