When I think streetable I think of keeping it legal and dirveability. A supra is such an amzing platform for gaining high numbers easily that your not sacrificing some street legal things such as emissions and exhaust systems, also a supra has a very unique weight ratio that keeps it balanced while a 1200 hp cobra will lift and be all over the road without a good suspension system a 1200 hp supra like to stay down and loves a straight line. Also with a supra a simple boost controller wil make it streetable to a track beast in seconds where most cobras stick to the s/c which isn't as easy to change boost, so most supras are more streetable car.s

lol id love to see you try to keep the supra down like that.. and its more complicated then just buying a boost controller.. its about as difficult but less physical labor as swapping pullies on a s/c.. anyways no a supra will lift.. especially with a 1200hp.. it will lift like a bitch so no there not really all that streetable and once your car is built for 30lbs of boost its not gonna get but what 5 miles to the gallon and youll have to worry about popping the tires if you go WOT on a 1200 hp car.. but yeah sure ok yall are right jsut because supras are famous for being fast they can be the best streetable cars w/e lol like cars dont all act the same..

all cars lift the front when they are trying to move.. its a simple nature of cars.. and you said that like a supra wont pop off the front wheels


and a supra is jsut as easily moddified as a cobra

It isn't more complicated than buying a boost controller. 2 tunes and a boost controller for your car is all they need to change the car over I have friends with the set ups. And have you ever seen a 1000hp supra launch? I doubt it from your comment they squat back hard then go they do not like to stand thats why you don't see supras in wheel stand comps.

have you ever ran a boost controller? i had one in my old rx-7 it wasnt just a cake walk lol.. it took just as much work as it would of took to swap a boost pulley.. then you gotta remember your completely messing up your a/f ratio and all that bs so you gotta tune it down to go with that.. its just jsut as simple as smacking a button and saying YAY I GOT MAIL!

I don't think either is greater they are both amazing power plants and you must of had a manual boost controller which is annoying but the new digital ones are easy and running a chip with 2 tunes is easy as well. I have seen a supra hop before but only on an extremely hard launch with a new suspension that wasn't set up right. I can see them doing a wheel stand but 98% of them just squat hard and go. And Now I too am off to bed I got fencing in the morning so if you want we will continue this tomorrow

Well I see both every day.....

Theirs a guy with a like t67 turbo supra not 5miles from me & theirs a guy about 2miles the other way with an r-33 gtr skyline

Also an SVT (guessing your mean cobra?) swap in a Civic would be amazing. Converting FWD to RWD How about an 03 cobra motor s2000?

I'm sure some tech at honda can hook you up with some Ultra Hype Carbon Fiber Rear end designed to take 1,500 hp for a small fortune.

Buy the way, TS is kind right boost controllers aren't as _EASY_ as you make them seem to be. The whole fuzzy logic boost ctrler's where they just try and figure out everything for you are nice but.... I think i'll stick with a belt

I'm talking about dialed in boost controllers I have friends with them They are digital and have boost selections pre selected from the tunes you have for the car. you simply decide if you want your street tune and amount of boost or race tune and boost. I have a friend with a supra he just wrecked, but before that he would drive on the street at 15 pounds and when he was at the strip he cranked it to 30. It was built to handle 30 but he didn't need all that on the street so he had them put tunes on a chip for both and got a switch to decide tunes then a digital boost controller that had set limits at 15 or 30 and you just select on or the other took him maybe 15 mins to program everything in. Which is much easier than changing a pulley IMHO

Re: V6's compared to other cars


Im surprised the Acura NSX wasnt mentioned. Althought its rare, and expensive as hell it was at one point in time the fastest N/A V6 ever produced. I dont know if it is anymore but they still impress me.
