I have serious trouble believing the weight, mate....sorry.

I wait eagerly to be shown otherwise but I can't see a full on competition car like that being made to weigh in excess of 3100lbs on purpose?!?!?

Will look at what Mr. Moroso has to say later and post back with expected power figure.

Yeh this car/time has me suspicious since i seen it on the supraforums

in no way saying supras arent fast etc etc

but i just dont understand how it can be that fast and weight that much with only 1000hp, HKS needed to use a Twin Turbo 2x3240 V8 engine and complete weight/drag car to run a similar time

not to mention if this car is such a 'record breaker' like its been posted everywhere, then why the hell isnt there more information on it

if i built this car ide want recognition!

if all the stated information is true, then this car is truely insane and futhermore proves the strength of the 2JZ and supra in general

yeah i agree ... hks are no dumb nuts ... they know what they're doing ... i don't doubt the power of the car ... i just doubt the weight claims ... think of marios gtr ... or any drag gtr ... even think about the drag rotaries ... they do similar times ... theres no way they weight that much!!!!

Don't be thinking this car is some backyard throw together (like my cars), it's been racing for a few years. The US has a larger and more advanced drag racing market, Titan proved how much quicker you can go with an auto on their car (dropped .3 seconds(?) from mid 8's to low 8's).

The turbo is going to be the dictator with regards to horsepower, I think this car is meant to have one of the Turbonetics Thumper's on it (up to 2,000hp).

Check out the engine bay of the Titan car, notice the Wiggins clamps on the water + turbo lines ($US200+ each). That's a fair bit more "advanced" than Mario's car....

I notice the roll cage extends to the radiator support panel. This is not usually done for safety. In fact it removes the crumple zone forward of the strut towers, so would in fact decrease safety. It is usually employed when the front chassis rails and inner guards are removed, so it holds up the nose of the car. To futher support this view, looking at the LHS inner guard it appears to be heavily trimmed. Also note the apparent rearward mounting of the engine, it looks to be around 100 mm further back than standard.

I am not a drag racing expert, but I though the 3000 lb class included the driver. So that would put the car itself at around 1300 kgs. Which is about right for a lightened and fully caged Supra.

:D

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
