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

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
