Peter's Supra has a built bottom end and a mild port. Stock, they can still dyno 1000 the tire, but the common stoping point is around 750 to the tire. I would be willing to make a safe bet that motor at 750whp is more durable than a 996 at 700whp

 

Congrats - check your pm

Absolutely. The 2JZTE is the most bulletproof engine ever placed in a production car, IMO.

 

Wow those are some impressive numbers, cant wait to see videos and more info Be safe!

 

Those are some great numbers, congratulations!

 

I am a big fan of the 2JZTE as well.
But from the performance stand point, I am curious to see how the early torque delivery and aerodynamic advantages of your GT2 will make up for its hp deficit against the Supra.

 

Me too, Vincent. I think with HP and weight being equal, the P-cars will beat the Supras.

 

Spot on. Draw back is the torque is never as linnear as on the 996TTs... Larger displacement and 2X turbos vs smaller displacement and single (usually).

 

As much as i love Porsche cars. I must admit that riding in a 730 whp Supra 2 weeks ago put a big smile on my face. Guys, our cars are very well built and can be modded well. But, since i am building a friends Supra project car, and having ride in that 730 whp car. I would say that the Supra's rule the streets when it comes to V6, Boxer engines or Inline 6 cylinder engines. Let's see what happens when a Porsche TT runs into a Supra, with similar HP output. That would be realy interesting.

 

Congratulations Jamie . . . very impressive numbers. I hope the internals are up to the task.

Great numbers! And if I had to choose between a 700 whp TT Porsche or a 700 whp Supra I would pick the P car no doubt! Which would be faster wouldn't make a difference to me. Good luck with your beast.

 

Awesome numbers. Looking forward to the vids.

 

That's it........

 

Well, the Supra in my group at the track today blew a gasket and was spewing oil all over. We were both running novice (my first time tracking ever) yet once I figured out the lines I was able to pass and pull away from him substantially. He had a 720 whp Supra. His engine troubles happened at the end of the run.

Jamie....why are you comming all the way to Houston and missing the track event? You now have a car that is great for straight line racing and track events. Why are you only experiencing half of your cars potential? Admitedly, tracking is hard on a car, but a GT2 has to be tracked at least once to really understand what the car is capable of.
