BTW, what's your QS time from 60-130mph on a GPS device ie AX22.

No need to go to Mexico when LVMS is where he lives and where I am all the time. I've never been to Mexico and don't intend to anytime soon
It will be for everyone to see if it happens in Vegas.
My car runs to the 60ft mark in 1.38sec and by the 60ft I'm going over 60mph. 0-135mph 5.6sec, 0-171.28mph in 8.61sec. I don't use those devices and don't think they are as accurate as a certified track. I have no idea what my 60-130 is but knowing the car gets to 135 in 5.6sec I'd say quite a bit under that I can brake boost the car from a roll and it hits VERY hard.

It's no grudge match seeing as how I have nothing to prove I've accomplished my goals with my 6spd Street car. I just want the money that's owed to me!!!

Alex and Ryan are well respected car enthusiasts. I am sure they'll work it out and show us some real racing soon.

I'll be in Vegas with my car July 14-15th for NHRA. My car has to weigh 3500lbs min to race. At 3500lbs my car would be FAR more of a street car than Alex's at 2900lbs. A 2900lbs Supra is a completely stripped/gutted car and is 100% Race car. This can be seen in cars like Titan's and AAP's which both weigh 2900lbs. I didn't really read all 13 pages but I "thought" I read somewhere that Alex's Supra would be in the 2900lbs range. You have to strip the hell out of a Supra and gut it completely to get it to 2900lbs.

Lets not prematurely speculate that it is a gutted/ stripped out race car until Alex confirms so. I speak for most on here that we would love for this race to happen and happen soon.

Let me ask you something though, those times that were calculated in your car, were at 3500 lbs? And are they official like slips from an actual track timing device?

I'm not speculating when I say this. A 2900lbs Supra is a race car. Taking 600lbs out of one is VERY difficult and requires removing all amenities and "street car" things. I have very extensive experience with Supras to say the least
All my times are done at a race weight ABOVE 3500lbs. I race in sanctioned events and it has to weigh more than that. In Vegas my car will weigh 3700lbs and MORE than stock so I can spray it.
And yes, all my numbers are verified at NHRA Certed Tracks. I don't use any silly devices like G Tech's or anything of the sort

What news to me is that your car is that fast at 3500+ lbs, that's even crazier. How can you compensate so much power for the extra weight you have to put on?!

No compensation really, just a lot of power and a lot of weight My car has never weighed under 3500lbs and I still have a full stereo, A/C componets, Heater core, all wiring, nothing is cut, etc. It's a real street car. They weigh 3450-3550 stock. I've added an 8.50 certed cage, big heavy turbo, 4.5in Turbo Back, HUGE heavy IC, etc. All parts that add to the weight of the factory Supra. The only things that save weight are the wheels/tires and brakes.
In order to cut weight you have to remove all stereo, A/C, heater core, ABS, etc. I still have ABS in my car as well.

So assuming that you have done your homework about this car and still willing to line it up redardless if its a gutted car or not?
Your time on the track is undeniably awesome to say the least. But GPS device like AX22 is an alternative way to measure performance with high level of accuracy.

At the track yes. Anytime... I know a lot of cars that make A LOT of power. Getting it down is another story. And that's not to say Alex won't but any 6spd with that much power is not easy. Even with a motec and motec advanced functions. Which I have now have in my car
I know many people who have lost a lot by street racing. I keep it on the track where it's safe and controlled. And if someone crashes you aren't in the middle of no where waiting on paramedics.

BTW that's crazy your car is that fast being full weight and some. I thought you would have to compensate with an extra 300 hp or so lol, i guess you really know how to dial in and build these cars. That's why you are who you are in the industry.
