A 3S-GTE in it? How odd

[blk180]

It was to race in the GT3000 class. this is a full race car i think you will find that this car will bet a V8 supercar around a track

[Laurence]

No it wasn't and no it won't

[Guest Mashrock]

haha

a 3sgte is like one of the best japanese motors well 4cyl.

i'm sure it would shit on a poxy v8

[Laurence]

Oh yeah, no question about that... The 3S-GTE GT-500 car would destroy a V8 Supercar...

But this car isn't one of them. It has more power and less weight than a V8 supercar but I think the V8 would still nail it, just my opinion

Yeh that makes sense :warning: :s So that supra has over 700 hp & the v8 super cars have 550 hp & you think a v8 would NAIL it? The supra is in the 1200 kg bracket, what do the v8 supercars weigh? Im thinkin supra would nail it *just as long as the BIG v8s arnt light :s*

From memory (an interview with them) I thought he said one of the reasons it was done was for the mounting of the radiator, it was all the rage at the time. Might also be to do with what the car was to be used for though.

V8 supercars have over 600hp and weigh 1350kg... Imagine the lag of that turbo on a small engine, it would not be great at corner exits even if you kept the engine spinning hard. Also they are fully developed racing cars which is worth a lot...

But it would be an interesting matchup anyway, oh well, we will never get an answer.

Yeh true, when i thought about it there would be a lot of difference in torque through the RPMs. Leave it at that.

That SUPRA was built purly for the top-speed trials a few years back. They use the 3S-GTE because it sits further back in the engine bay for weight distribution and centre of gravity. Also if you are going to compare that to a V8 supercar be realistic. The SUPRA is built for straight line top speend and stability, a V8 supercar is designed for circuit racing. If the SUPRA was set up for circuit racing you would find it would be to close to call.

[rsx84]

this car was built for pure top end speed 200mph+, from memory the owner of top secret was fined in the UK for doing over 300km/h on a public road in this car..just some more info.

Looks like the one in the High Octane 2000 DVD.

Check out the "Option Speed Trial" segment.

An identical spec (wide body, Top Secret, gold, 2.2L motor)

was entered in this high speed trial in NZ in 2000.

The original motor was replaced with the short motor for improved circuit racing

handling to bring the center of mass closer to the back of the car.

THe car kept blowing off hoses (too high boost) and did not perform as well as it had in Japan, ie +300kph.

This is quite a good DVD by the way.

Whoever said the V8 supercars are slow, what drugs are you guys smoking?

This Supra will not beat a V8 supercar on a track.

Petar.

[doridori32]

oh also, that car is a piece of shit. would be crap for the track anyway. t88 + 4cyl = drag racing whore.

[rsx84]

ok ok if you want to get into the "will this beat a V8 supercar" blah blah blah then remember your putting a $500,000 V8 race car up against a $170,000 stright line speed car, 2 very different cars...
