Default Watching some old videos of mine..

I know this is totally unrelated to any kind of racing you guys do on here, but I was just looking at some of my old videos of my Supra a few years ago and came across one of my favorites...

I had that car for 10 years.. damn I miss that old car.

246 mph at Texas mile/ 7.91@ 188.9 at the strip..

damn that is fast!

I had a MKIV back in the day too. Quarter mile 13.5 @ 106MPH bone stock.
I ended up doing HKS super dragger exhaust, HKS super mega flo, HKS boost controler and blow off valve to get into the 12's.

Great cars. If mine wasnt a targa roof i would have kept it....

WOW.. that is fast... the snap to the left always scares me when watching Supra launch videos.... Does it always snap to the left?

You had some serious drag machine there....

I had a Targa top and a couple of hardtops. My black car was a hardtop..

It would always go left on a hard launch. What's crazy is all I did to run the mile was change the shocks/springs, tires and turn down the boost.. Stock trans, rear end & axles. Those cars were way overbuilt..

I had one of those too! Mine wasn't nearly as fast as SW's though, although I only regret not doing the Mile in it before I sold it!

Ironically I learned most of my car control trying to keep that car going in a straight line lol.

SW, the car of yours I remember is the one in the Lexus SC400 coupe body with the 1,000 hp Supra drivetrain that you used to drive on the streets...
