I heard tha they aren't really THAT fast unless modded and stickshift.
Yeah I agree. Supras are supposed to run low 13s and RSX's mid 14s?

I sure hope nothing is wrong with my friend's Supra TT. He didn't launch, cause he said it is his first auto car, maybe that was a factor.

Hmm maybe this should be in kill stories. h:

The stock ECU tune on the RSX-S is really conservative, it's one of the few small-displacement n/a cars out there that can actually gain a lot of power from an ECU reflash (granted it's a custom one but still).

Slap on i/h/e and K20A5 cams, get the most basic Hondata s100 and have it dyno tuned and the shit's mad fast.

With an intake and a dyno-tuned Hondata you can hit 190 whp.

I guess not, considering the fastest Supras are auto, something must be wrong with them.

Drag Supras are quicker with automatic transmissions because the automatic allows you to keep your foot on the throttle during shifts. These cars all have bigass turbos that fall off boost during a manual shift (which involves taking your foot off the gas) but an auto keeps the turbo spooled for the whole run.

A Supra set up for road racing or something like that would not have as monstrous of a turbo and thus would be quicker with a manual at its specified purpose.
