My Supra 712bhp vs Mini Rover Turbo T16 Engine - Santa Pod Raceway 2011

[benspeed1974]

its hard to compare these cars, its horses for courses really isnt it, i bet the supra is a killer when its rollin, the mini ,on the other hand has superb power to weight...but is possibly a bit scary up over a ton, ..out on the road ,probably be a reverse situation, big turbo cars tend to be hard to hit "the sweet spot" when drag launching, too much boost usually eat the clutch in a couple of vicious launches..., anyway, both cool cars, both running decent numbers...., love the pod too....

Nice Supra Geo, but it looks like you had boost about 3 seconds after the race began. You probably didn't want to spin the tyres too much or T67s are laggy? I'm sure a 700+hp Supra can go into the 11s.

@12389h

cheers bud.

I had picked the car up from SRD the day before so i had less than 12 hrs to get used to it, No Trac control, and a heavy heavy clutch. With no driver aids to lauch. The dyno sheet reads im full boost at 3k. So its prob my crap driving, lol

@geotho77 Well, you did well considering your circumstances. If that was me I probably would have stalled or end up taking out half of the spectators on the grass. Don't worry about the haters, post some more videos up when you get the chance please mate.

@12389h What does a 300hp Supra have in common with a 900hp Supra?

They both run 12 second quarter miles.

[12389h]

@cyberslick18 What they both must have in common are stock wheels and tyres!

Lovely car Geo, That was one stupidly quick mini

[geotho77]

[veyronman]

[schadjason]

Yeah your definitely not making 700bhp, but nice try retard.

[harris19863]

@schadjason you sir are fucking retarded.......it is making 700bhp

[schadjason]

@harris19863 Yeah ok bud, I know you think your watching of supra videos online makes you an expert, but that supra is not making 700bhb. Fucking stupid little youtube wannabe's.

[harris19863]

@schadjason actually no, however I do own a supra and i've also read the build thread on this particular supra and know what mods it's got and seen the dyno graphs PROVING it's got 700bhp, you really are dumb and are trying to argue against fact!

[AtteroCloud]

@schadjason It's bhp, and what is a stupid little youtube wannabe? You mean a troll? Like yourself?

[drewy06]

its a rover turbo t16 engine not an r1 dosent even sound like a bike for a start !!

[aemravan]

that mini is much slower than it sounded... and the supra needs better tires or less boost, i ran down into the 11.70's only making 450rwhp on street-legal slicks

[Peterkr10]

I want a track day mini with a bike engine badly. Prefer it to be road legal though.

[jewellyboy19]

humiliated

[evolotionone]

its not an R1 engine its a rover T16 turbo. :)

[Marrrk666]
