Damn! Congrats SW. Was this in his Supra??

Could have been that wicked Supra but more likely the nasy TT Viper he drove in the Car And Driver January issue where he won the 0-200-0 test.

You know how many cars can hit 200 in the mile, much less 229?!?!?! That is crazy fast with the $1.4 million Veyron way off in the distance behind you!

VERY IMPRESSIVE

Thanks guys, just got back. This was in the Boost Logic Supra that I have been drag racing, not my Supra. We were drag racing last weekend, pulled the motor Monday, freshened up, changed up the suspension set up and had it back running on thursday! These guys are amazing.

This morning, Justin(our tuner)& I were trying to figure out the set up and decided on 32lbs and no spray. For reference, I run 40lbs of boost& 175 shot when I drag race it. I was hoping to crest just over 200 for the first run but it felt good so I stayed in it. About 205 or so, I felt the car move around (wind), so I lifted about 20% throttle just enough to settle the car and got back in it. I was happy with the 229.7 but I knew there was more in it, unfortunately , we had no luck fixing the boost problem.On my second run, we only hit 22lbs of boost, third run only 27lbs of boost. The 212mph run felt really slow, like driving my motorhome.. the 222 run felt alittle better but I think the car should go 238.

People were walking around our cars all day and just shaking their heads thinking, how in the hell these 10+ year old Toyotas run so damn good..

The conditions weren't the best, rain in the morning and a strong head/ side wind but all in all a fun day! I will post the video up as soon as we get it done.

Theres drag cars that can hit 200mph in the 1/4.The gt40 and Shelby daytona coupe could hit 200mph with a long straight away.

This is a STREET car with a/c power steering, full interior, stock 6spd transmission, stock Toyota rear end& axles..3650lbs w/driver

I ran [email protected] last week with it and 229.7 in the mile this week. There are not too many street cars that can do that..
