Low-budget sleeper

Supra2NR · 08-01-2006, 08:20 AM

well i was jus you know

hoping for the best but preparing for the worst

he wanted a sleeper, so no turbo, no exhaust, nothing that makes any sound, or any showing outside the hood

i jus thought he would need every part that he can to beat that car

those cars are crazy, i wouldnt race em,
but awd and weighs less than half our car?

thats at least 1500 lbs so which translates to :
he will beat you by at least a second and a half

They only weigh about 2500 ish. Not quite half, But sure as hell not as heavy. But im sure with a 75-100 shot of nos and the motor ups to handle it, He should be pretty well off as long as the talon isnt modded a shitload. And i just read that its front wheel drive, So it must not be a tsi...oh well. That means you will have the traction advantage instead of the other way around. lol.

TSI talons are not fast. i found out last night riding in my friend's firebird formula. he beat that talon tsi by about the same distance he does my stock n/a auto supra when we race. what i am saying is it will be a close race.

the talon that we raced was pretty much stock except his BOV. he was also manual.

is your friends supra auto or manual?

onee thing i didnt see on the list is an intake filter, but it may make a sucking noise so i dont know if your friend will want that.

my bad,
i thought an intake is a default mod
mandatory for everybody to get
so thats why i ddnt bother

i did overlook that ddnt i? lol

I used to think that a Talon TSI was fwd and a Talon TSi was AWD. Apparently they are TSi and TSiAWD. His is a TSi (seen the emblem) and is def. fwd.

The MK3 is an automatic. We were looking for this project to be less than a grand. It doesnt look like that is possible unless these parts are much cheaper than I expect.
This Talon has the capabilities to run mid-high 13 sec 1/4mi times but I bet he cant get better than low 14s due to front trash.

Oh well, I guess I'll just break out the ol' American muscle to do the trick.

thats funny those cars are in my hitlist,
cars that i want to beat,
its kinda my own championship
and i plan to start a photo album of every car that became my 3!T(H

after i get my turbo im gonna start posting pics every week of the cars that succumed after me

and yea sorry for the bad news, i dunt think theres any way around this
unless you can make your supra weigh a scant 1600 lbs
i dont think a grand can make your supra beat a talon
