I don't know. Sounds insane. But if I had hundreds of thousands to pour into a car, I wouldn't have a Supra!!!! I'd like to see pics of that. 1200hp V6...sounds sketchy, but who knows. Can that guy fist f*** his exhaust(*) on that Supra??

It that a twin turbo setup or single? You'd need a decent sized turbo for 34 lbs psi. Stock Supra engines are supposedly good for 700 hp before things start to break.

Man Jim...us 87-91 guys are smart and dont try thinking if it is possible!!! the only way that that is possible is by looking in this months super street and peeking at the HKS supra that runs 6'* in the 1320.

It'* a I-6 not V-6

If it is possible to throw down that much power and your friend knows a guy that did that then it'* time for.......PROJECT 4 RUNNER DRAG SUV I already started project b2000 which is turning my dads b2000 into a show truck(already put in bucket seats :? ).

Well my friends Neon has 673 at the fly and he only has one TC and nitro. Plus a totally hacked apart stock engine DOHC 2.4L. Its not totally imposible if you know how and got the money to do these things.
