Street Racing & Kill Stories - Me vs. 1993 TT Supra

Was on I-40 heading to my club's hangout spot when I spotted a nice 93 TT Supra. Had my cruise set at 74mph, went by him and threw up my hand. Dude got on it to get beside me. He smiled and said, "On 3." Now I'm not a street racer by any means, I get on my car from time-to-time but I don't race at all....but this was on the highway and it was clear for about 3/4 of a mile infront of us. Soooooo, what the hell...

He said 1, 2 and when he hit 2, I dropped it from 6th to 3rd and matted it so i'd be hitting the gas when he actually beeped the 3rd time. By 115 we were about even, I had a fender on him, maybe.

His car was slick as hell and the dude was cool as shit, he came up beside me and we exchanged "Sick car" remarks. So I move to get off the highway and an Explorer gets beside me and holds up a video camera and says, "I GOT THAT SHIT ON TAPE, MAN!" I yelled my AIM SN to him so hopefully he will come through with the vid and I can post it.

Needless to say, besides the little imports and local morons in Sebrings and Cavaliers, that was my first real race. :drive:

Was he stock?
BTW, good kill.

From my past experiences bone stock Supra TT's and bone stock LS1's are very close when it comes to roll races on the highway.

Good race! Supras with turbos/big single turbo are monsters on the highway, this one must have been very lightly modded.

Yeah, I was scared as hell he was built and he was gonna waste me LOL. He did have a huge fart cannon on the left side but other than that, it looked stock. We never talked so I have no idea what he had, but it was a TT(had a badge right above the "Supra" on the right side of the trunk)

The MKIV's never came with single turbos. The guys in ya post are saying the supra's that have BIG power tend to have changed to a BIG single turbo. Nice kill man. It always feels good beating on them. Those guys still have to spend 25k to buy one of those cars. Its silly. GJ

Those close races are what make the fingers shake and reaffirm what it feels like in life to hang on to a small moment and make it last for what seems to be an hour. Those cars are so badass for their years. Until 1997, what other car was that fast for the price other than the LT1 Vette? Sounds like a really fun race!

Tell me about it, dude. It seemed to last forever and it was maybe 10-15 seconds. My heart was racing like crazy. I don't even turn the radio down and get un-relaxed when it's the moron ricers and local idiots in their V6 Mustangs but damn if my ass was tight in my seat this go round.

its not silly, its just what they want to do with their money, and its a very strong and proven motor :)

Well put

I think what he meant by silly was the fact that my $7500 101k mile LS1 held it's on. Some people can throw $25,000 down and be satisfied with a 13 second car. But to me, that IS silly. Different strokes, though.

:stupid: :)

300ZX TT

300ZX TT


If I remember, Stock, The 300ZX TT was more luxurious, heavier, and a bit slower than the Supra TT and RX-7 TT. The Supra was always faster and in the 13's. I think the 300ZX TT ran as fast or a bit faster than the mid-90's LT1's... low 14's, high 13's. Either way, those are, WERE actually, nice cars.

Sounds fun, where in nc you at?
Theres some crazy supras running around here.

Raleigh during the week and some weekends(work), Burlington on the other weekends.

:judge: sounds like fun
i love the LSX and i love the supra...sooo...good times!!!!! :judge:

Supras are crazy...ive seen 950 HP cars with stock internals...the 2JZ-GTE is one of the stongest motors of all time. By the way, just because an exhaust is big doesnt mean it's a "fart cannon." 3 grand HKS exhausts look like that...usually the sound tells the story lol.

Oh yea, by the way the 97 vette was an LS1, and i think even the LT1 vettes could come close if not be faster than the Supra, not sure however.

An LT1?? No you are wrong. An LT1 will not keep up with a Supra.

Single turbo setup in my friends 93 RX-7 with a new rotary and intercooler (originally TT) put him from a 13.5 bone stock to well into the 11's and possibly 10's on race gas.

you've got the craziest drivetrain i've ever seen troublewhine3
