Why This Supra is TOO Fast for the 1/4 mile | Bumper 2 Bumper

The quarter

mile

is old news because half

mile

events are popping up all over the country. The tracks are longer and dustier throughout the year, which means higher speeds and exciting racing. Many people show up to these events to stretch the legs of their cars further than they have today we are going to get up close and personal with one of those cars, it's time to move from the carbon fiber front lip to the rear spoiler,

until December 14? brother sister brother Supra before we get into this episode on behalf of the entire team bumper to bumper, I just want to thank nas energy drink for partnering with us, they sent me this special driver to give me a NOS energy drink when I want to cough like NOLA.

It's me, you signed a contract that said I had to be the only one to deliver the cans to you, that doesn't sound like something I would do, it sounds exactly like something you do, thanks, good energy drink, now back to the show for more For 50 years, the quarter-mile time has been one of the main criteria by which the speed of a car is measured, and for the last 20 years or so, the Supra brand has remained at the top of the pedestal. From the JDM drag communities, the 2jz engine is rightly legendary for its ability to generate incredible horsepower and the drag strip feels like the natural home for a highly modified super, but what if you want to go further? beyond the quarter mile?

What if you want to go

fast

er? So the quarter mile lets you go, that's where the middle is. The mile comes in if you really want to race a

fast

car but also want to keep it civilized for street driving. Half-mile events are a great place to develop your frame and get a great adrenaline rush. I don't know about you, but I get a little adrenaline every time I see a Supra brand. Everyone knows what happened to its value in the last ten years, so you don't see it around much anymore. The owner of this car was lucky to choose it.

He took it from a family member. Oh, luckily, for some reason, his brother stopped exercising him the same way I stopped exercising my body. Do you think a piece of toast stepped in and offered to give it a new home? Buy him lots of shiny new accessories and take him outside and put him on the plate. IMHO

s have never needed wide body kits to look good, it's always been obvious that if they wanted they could catch you and they could eat you with their wide eyed stares and then nothing, but nowadays it stays somewhat . super nice stock in the body department, with the exception of a more aggressive carbon fiber front lip, another indicator that this thing could eat you alive is the light shining softly on the 5-inch intercooler behind the grill, probably It will stop faster than YouTube because when you have as many hobby horses as this thing.

You have big brakes that cover the calipers. They are a very simple classic welding racing wheel. They're pretty typical 18 by 9 up front with our triple eights and a pretty atypical use of 15 by 10. beefy boy Mickey Thompson Street slicks in the back check out the sidewall on these monsters the car is set up to launch quickly from a standstill and the stance makes it look even more like an animal that's ready to pounce and tow you drive this way on the street on the weekends because it never rains in southern california, the red may be high but the rain is low , there are a lot of sick replacement wings out there, but none of them perfectly frame the rear window like the OEM one does the rear of the car.

Seriously about that meaty rubber, but you want to know all about the forces under the hood. No? You have been? Do you want to see the - Jake, let's do this? This

s engine bay is the epitome of show and go. They should look like guys, it's really pretty, honey, when trailer decided it needed Moe Powell, honey, he didn't let aesthetics fall by the wayside, first of all, it's crazy, crazy, clean, I'd eat it here totally tacos this big precision turbo 7675 gen 2. Wow boy, that's a spicy snail, so I can make sure there's no mud stuck in my little teeth.

Check out my reflection in this glassy AF fan cover. Honestly the fan shroud is cleaner and then has a better paint job than any of my cars. like it's never been driven down a dusty runway before, but it is. You need to clean the engine bay with a damn toothbrush to make sure the engine can churn enough air. There is a 4-inch solid body, 4-inch downpipe with a 4-inch tube. impulse-activated cutoff and a 3-inch HKS carbon-wrapped titanium-tipped exhaust to handle all the power the trailer wanted to make. The 2jz was pulled and completely built. ARP covers the whole thing, literally the whole thing to top it all off with a custom configuration.

The Pro EFI 120 ECU takes care of engine management by pumping gas into those legendary Silla inline sixes, our massive 2000cc fuel injectors fed by three Walbro 450 e85 fuel pumps. I bet those pumps too. Lots of gas through this super system, just like those al pastor studs do through my performance coil packs, it helps like gasoline on fire and they are CNC machined billet aluminum mounts that definitely dress up. the valve cover on the two Jay Z, it looks like damn Iron Man here and This is because, to last the joint, strategically accentuate certain parts under the hood with a coat of black powder and gold paint, it really highlights how good it is.

You can see the entire engine bay and it's a stylish complement to the original red color behind it all, this is an original 6. -Manual speed or dual-disc clutch and a one-piece driveshaft give power to a stock rear end. Oh, and I almost forgot, you want to know how many chargers come out of this thing 1282 the wheels and it also spits out 990 Turk, those fast ones. Thoroughbreds are good for a half-mile trap speed of one hundred eighty-seven point five seven miles per hour. I'm going to need a few more studs to generate that much power, let's see if there are any in there.

I'm sorry to report that there are no studs here, but there is a carbon fiber cup holder. Thank you so much. The Mark 4 Super is a throwback to a time when sports cars simply didn't come with dedicated drinks storage. You could squeeze one between your legs and a pinch, but then your nice cold drink would get warm and in 1994 you couldn't get a koozie donut like you can get a Mediacom donut right now, so if you're going to have a cup holder you don't want to have to add weight and carbon fiber everything, that's how I like to live my life, the mostly original appearance of the exterior continues in the cabin with just a few practical upgrades to the Super's classic airplane styling.

Why ruin something good? You know all the controls are focused towards the drivers, something very much like the golden era of JDM sports cars, a hat and something the Corvette c8 is bringing back, a neat little bus meter that allows the driver to control all vehicle data and I'm sitting in a Recaro bucket seat, always a smart upgrade. For a car that sees high speeds and track time, as the great philosophers say, there is more confidence with a foundation of safety, but the original tiller has been swapped for a TRD steering wheel which gives the interior a nice fresh look.

The original flyers were kind. big and clunky in the early '90s because no one had figured out how to cram airbags into attractive wheels, yet despite the serious numbers this bill makes, the trailer wanted to make sure the car was still enjoyable to drive. car on the street, so it kept power steering air conditioning and a stereo the stereo I meant a stereo a Titan Motorsports four point roll bar completes the interior of this remarkably clean Supra 187 miles per hour okay let's get started this car this It's my favorite part of the show and this is one of my favorite cars, I'm glad you can be here with me for this, it's a love people, I think I want to borrow this car, a car that we've done next.

The tow plans to optimize the car's aerodynamics to see what new speeds it has. can achieve half-mile runs is spawning a slightly different variety of straight-line car setups that are more focused on building speed over distance rather than making repetitive aggressive launches. This Supra is an excellent example of how to do things right. Maintain a straight level. of skill on the street while still reaching crazy speeds on the race track thanks to tone to win for letting us take a look at his incredible ride follow him on TT in my soup P on Instagram for updates I live my life half a knot at a time Those 15 seconds I'll probably open quarter mile sold news in my pants because half mile events are popping up everywhere.
