loks Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Got this email sent to me this morning and I thought of Dude... "At Bristol Motor Speedway on July 10th the Titan Supra shattered the previous MPH record of any Street Supra by running [email protected] MPH. This record was done in competition at the most recend NDRA event. This setting the current NDRA Pro Street Tire record and also capturing the fastest MPH of any Street Supra. This was done on DOT approved Drag Radials to boot. Check out our newly updated website at http://www.TitanMotorsports.com We'd like to thank our fans and supporters without their support we couldn't have made it happen. Titan Motorsports based out of Orlando, FL a mail order distribution center for performance parts, is focused on racing in the sport compact arena. http://www.titanmotorsports.com 407-277-8423 phone 407-359-6457 fax" ...it's OK as that's Bristol...Tenessee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 The trap speed is around the same as a Super Mod car or even a Pro Mod , to do that in a street driven sup on Drag Radials is just awesome . Dude:flame Dev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the JUN records are flat out max speed, judging the fact the pictures show the car out on Salt Flats. *Edit* Found this: JUN BLITZ Z32 RESULTS DATE - Aug./1991 CIRCUIT - Bonneville Salt Flats International Speedway in USA HOSTS - BONNEVILE NATIONAL SPEED TRIALS RECORD - 419.84km/h DRIVER - S.Koyama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Originally posted by loks Yes...same as all street Supras do Plenty of the fast street cars use chutes , in fact after a certain time/speed its mandatory , obviously they dont use/need the chutes on the street when de-tuned but fill em up with race gas and crank up the power and hey presto they are a nice thing to have .
