my eclipse driving cousins is wondering what the fastest time a supra in typical street trim (93 octane, drag radials, full interior) would run. off the bottle, and singles allowed.
Unfortunatly none of those runs were made on pump 93MADMKIV said:SW did [email protected] on DOT approved E.T. Streets on bottle
Marko did a 10.0 on Nittos on bottle
Billy Cha [email protected] on DOT's not sure about N20
Albert Diaz [email protected] on DOT's not sure about N20
Henry Nguyen [email protected] on Drag Radials, T-78 and N20
Mark Cooper [email protected] On ET Streets and 10.3 on Nitto DRs with only an SP63 and built SP Tranny... Stock Long Block (Yes stock cams) and no N20
And the list goes on from there... I can't find my notes on everyones cars but these are by memory

I would think that Marc C. would probably run a high 10 on pump gas as well as some other small single owners. Its just whenever they got ot eh track they go all out to see their car's ability.
I for one care what kind of gas people are running. What's the point in having a car that's only quick at the track?MADMKIV said:Who really cares if they use 93 octane or race gas... I thought the point of boosted cars was to turn the boost down for every day driving on pump and then to turn it up on high octane when you race
People don't realise that low boost can still be ~22 pounds on 93 octane...

I agree, I'm going for fun to drive factor along with the ability to get myself thrown out of the track on pump gas and street tires (11.99 or better)Trevor said:

Damnit! Thats my problem I FORGET to throw holy water over the car!Trevor said:To some of us (of all import makes and models) the only E.T.s that matter are those done in street form. That's why we care what gas people are running. Us "true street" people don't really care too much when Joe Turbo does a 10.XX with his trailered car on Slicks/ET Streets, 116 octane, an ECU reset every run, a headlight pulled, an iced I/C & plenum, folded in mirrors, 50 psi in the front tires, no passenger seat, & holy water thrown over the car.
Heard more than once at the street races... "Yeah, I'll race ya. Lemme go get some (race) gas first"Trevor said:
Here's what drives me to keep pump fuel in the tank...domestic owners walk up all the time asking, "so what kind of gas you running?" They usually wear a shit-eating grin thinking that they've got me pegged. I then shoot the shit-eating grin right back at them, "Oh just some Conoco 93 octane from down the street..." That's when their grins turn to a "Damn!" look. STEP BACK FOOLS! LOL!
Like I stated before...."At the track these cars have 6-7-800+RWHP and on pump they have 5-600RWHP... You're going to tell me that won't be quick on the street?"Rob_O said:

WayneCar, do you have any pics of your VR-4?WayneCar said:Trevor,
I'm going the street trim road now as well. At BPU
I've only been able to trap 118 mph so far but after
I get the cam gears set I hope to pull a little more.
The areas I am willing to bend the rules a little are
running Nitto DR's and using a modified headlight
with open high-beam. Once I get a FMIC I can locate
the intake where the stock side-mount had been and
put the stock headlight back. Rob V(Posted above) ran
[email protected] at BPU with FMIC and cam gears on 93 octane.
Even in the summer that will translate into solid 11's
at 120+ mph in street trim. Less weight would push
those numbers up but I'm not willing to give up the
comfort of stock seats, a/c, good sound system, quiet
clutch operation,etc to pick up a couple tenths/mph.
Definately more challenge this way.
