holy crap a supra gave the busa hell

[KILLERBEETLE]

on 275 north tampa cruisin at 150mph and a supra roll up on me!what? so i want to play and punch it and till the 180 speedo pinned he was only 10 cars back i was feakin and after that he woulnt even pull over. i wanted to know what he was workin with?:o :o

[TheShow50h]

ummm ... ok?

[KILLERBEETLE]

i never said i stopped at 180 just the speedo.i pinned it in 4th and rolled through fifth and into sixth.i guess i should have given more info.i figure i was at 205 or so since i gps's it befor at that rpm. i just thought even at 180 you dont see that every day

[2TurboImports]

shuuuut up....there is no way you were going 200+ on 2-75 and looking in your mirrors at the same time....

[KILLERBEETLE]

why not? i was north of the city. i pin the speedo all the time on the howard franklin and gandy. it dosent take long to get to 180 or 200 3rd gear can pin it

[evo.end3R]

you are so full of shit. i hit 5th at 120. 200? you are so full of shit it is pouring out of your ears. there is no where to hit that on 275 too much cars

says under your name you have a VW. what were you really in? no wy to do that in a vw

[KILLERBEETLE]

you want to meet me somewhere. do you know what a hayabusa is? i shift out of first at 60 or so and 2nd at 115 and third will pinn the speedo. if you ride a busa you ride like an old woman.if you dont , shut your hole. it was a story not an argument

[evo.end3R]

i got confused i thought u were in a 00 beetle

[KILLERBEETLE]

even my 2000 beetle will do 160mph i guess you cant read ill show you 200 anywhere on my bike which is what i was talking about. or i cant spank you in my 350 whp beetle

[evo.end3R]

damn how do u not lose control that fast? what does it look like?

[KILLERBEETLE]

a tunnel but once you get used to it you can handle it. plus its a heavy bike almost 5oo pounds but it has about 185 horsepower. when your tucked down with the mirrors adjusted right you can just look over and see everything. slowing down is much more uncomfortable than the speed to me

[evo.end3R]

ive only been 150 in my mercedes it was pretty fast looking i wasnt used to speed at the time. today i only hit 132 on HF there was a lot of traffic. the 150 my car started to plane a little it was on 275 like the hilly area between i-4 and hilslborough

[dnstommy]

You cant imagine the amount of HP it takes to break the 200 mph limit. I would pay you a grand to see your car go 200 on the gun.

[n20teg]

you need to read the whole post he has a bike , plus my dsm will do a 178 mph im sure vettes could get up thereOriginally posted by dnstommy

thanks n20teg people cant read

[ZACSLS1]

I had an R1 and a 929. Both topped out at 185-191. A busa will only break the 200 mark if it has a TRE installed. If you can tell me what that is, I will buy it commpletely.

[ZACSLS1]

Too late. It stands for Timing Retard Eliminator. A busa without it should cut off at 188 MPH. European off the showroom top out at 218MPH. Now, Lets also remeber that at speeds over 155 on any bike except for drags, the front of the bike is boucing and that can make the speedometer jump. If your bike reads 185MPH you are probably doing about 177-178. I am officailly raisning the BS flag on your ass.

[ZACSLS1]

275.......... the wind is insane. It is almost as bad as the Courtney Campbell before a hurricane hits

Probably if the Supra was pulling him with a tow-rope.

[dnstommy]

didnt notice the "busa" that it said busta like he was busta. I now a busa will break 200, duh.New Vetes will go 191 topped out, and blow out water pumps most of the times when they do it.

[NSXtacy]

Play fair. Remember boyz, he has a 160mph beetle that will stomp all our asses.

[Fastz24]

is this the bullshit thread or what, your dsm does not do 178 mph, sorry, also reading yor sig, why the hell would you put a 2g head on your 1g when the 1g head flows ALOT better than a 2g head. you're all outa wack aren't ya?

[n20teg]

ok sry iv been told dsm would go to a 178 by a few people, but where do you get your info about flow 1g head are good for low low end 2g flow ALot better up top plus its port and polished with cams

sorry to burst your bubble chris....but 2G heads ARE better than 1G heads, 2g heads have been the one chosen for the evo (mitsu's hot rod) till this day, also, buschur and rau are both rumored to be using 2G heads ;), they have way induce way more velocity, way more torque than a 1G head, as several engineers/big time gearheads have said, the 2G intake port is "just right", the 1g port is "too big", dont believe me about the lag/loss of torque, i'd be glad to trade you cylinder heads off of my 1G motor, low end power SUCKS with it, and the top end gain really isn't noticable until you get bigtime power, his head is also matched to 1g intake port....oh ya, FWD DSM gear @ 7500 RPM without wind resistence factored is approximately, guess how much....178 mph :D...if ya dont believe it, do the dip switch mod, get some race gas, and bury your speedometer, experience pwnz!! :D

[Gorky_Park]

Why would you be suprised about other cars being fast? 'Busa is fast, and depending on what year it is it might have a governor (sp) on it. I know first series (until '99 or '00 I believe) were the versions without the limiter, hitting just under 220 as a top speed.

I have seen a video of a T-66 Supra eating a GSXR-1000 (newer one) pretty badly. If you can get into 10s with your car it's going to be a very very close race. So don't be suprised about some fast ass car passing you by, it just proves that you can make anything fast longest you pour alot of money into it. I prefer bikes though because they are pertty quick from the factory, after the ZX-10 got released that's the only thing I want now.

You think with 150 crank Hp and almost 3000lbs you will be able to reach 160mph? Are you using KM/h maybe? :D

I think that you should be honest at least...

[PoppaSmurf]

its not really about how fast your running through the 1/4, is how much trap speed you are getting, if you are trapping in the 135's (which generally most single turbo supra's will) then you can give a hayabusa a pretty hard time, the 140+'s, then you can probably put one behind you from a roll.....but wtf, a bug??

[Yogidog]

160mph in a beetle?
