Holy ET batman!!

Its not a vette

, its actual a single turbo supra with over 1400 hp.
Never seen a launch like this! I am amazed his drivetrain held up....almost like a rubber band.

OK, this one same supra vs a c3 vette. Close race, tie goes to the vette for amazing exhaust note.

Here's my disclaimer:
I know nothing about these cars. Period.
What the heck are they using for axles, trannys,clutches, u-joints etc.???
Unbelievable that they are not spitting parts all over the track!

I'd rather go slower with a V8 than faster with that bees nest sounding thing. He should put a turbo V8 in it, probably get into the 7's

Why stop at 8? How about a VW turbo W16?
