Default Supra Killed

Tonight i was minding my own business when a nice looking white supra started being aggressive behind me, so never being shy of a race i accelerated past one car to switch lanes so he could come up beside me. I downshifted into 2nd and waited for him to go for it.. We started at around 30mph i was very very slightly pulling to about 50mph and then it was all over once he did his gear change i pulled a few car lenghts in no time. Next set of lights i asked what he has done and he replied saying it was BPU. Ive now raced 3 supras the last being a 310whp sup which i had a fair few runs from a dig and roll and it wasnt even close. I really dont understand i mean right now i would have around the 330hp mark, thats only 20hp more but the difference was huge.

The most exciting race with a supra i have had was a month or two ago. I saw his car from a distance as we pulled up to a set of lights that would soon merge into one. I tried to dig race him but he was having none of that (probably didnt know i was keen even though i was aggressive getting to the lights) but after i launched hard i caught his attention. So after merging into one i had slowed down and i saw him catch up, i slowly went full throttle to make sure the timing was more or less on par. The first 'run' from 30 to about 70 had nothing in it, i wasnt able to lose him nor was he able to catch me. I was impressed (not often do i have a car be able to keep up with me) We got to a round about and both turned left (stil one lane) so i go for it again and he does too.. this time we get to about 80-90mph and i noticed he was slowly making ground from 75 before i slowed down. Later that night i was looking up supras and decided to try my luck and put in his plates WTF Supra in google and to my suprise he had a thread on his car. This guy has a 500whp sup using a single 40z turbo i. I was shocked DO they just suffer too much from turbo lag? Where as our cars get instant response. I get the impression a 330whp SRT6 will beat a 330whp supra? Im sure in the 1/4 he would smoke me some where after 60mph but street racing and drag racing are two different things. Needless to say i was pretty proud of my car and it made me realise how great these AMG engines really are!
