Raced a NA 89 Supra, tied Options

[yep]

Well, I went over my friend's house today because he wanted to see the Injen intake I installed yesterday. Well, we decided to test our cars out. He has a stock 89 Supra NA and I just have an Injen intake. We found a place to race, (actually it was right in his court...) and anyway... We started out and his tires squealled a little bit on the take off. I took my car to about 4600 and occasionally 5000 RPMS each shift. I was ahead through third gear. At around fourth or fifth he got even with me and then a turn came and he hit his brakes in case there was someone coming around the corner.

I was satisfied with the results considering my engine generates 135 hp and his makes about 200 hp. Now I thinking whether I want to get my windows tinted or get an underdrive pulley. I kinda want to be able to beat him at least once before he modifies his car at all.

1989 supra-na:
Horsepower: 200 @ 6000rpm
Torque: 188 @ 3600rpm
Curb Weight 3,460
HP/100 lbs: 5.780


1994 Celica GT liftback:
Horsepower: 135 @ 5400rpm
Torque: 145 @ 4400rpm
Curb Weight 2,580
HP/100 lbs: 5.233

not much difference in the HP/lbs, so it should be very close... the celica has a more efficient drivetrain too.
You probably outlaunched him, but when the wind resistance came into effect, he was able to gain on you.

hope you had fun... drive safe
