$2009 Grassroots Challenge
http://www.supramania.com/forums/sho...=68665&page=23
Well 3 of my real close friends have been competing in this event for the past 2 years. For anyone that doesn't know the idea of the challenge is to buy car and have it be fast, handle and look good with a budget of $2009 including the price of the car. Sounds tough ![]() ![]() |

That is a sick Supra. I was gonna mention a turbo kit, but then I remembered what the budget was lol

Trust me the thing is fast, it makes soooo much torque. They did a lot of the work themselves. I felt bad for them towards the end they were really busting their asses to finish it up. 12-14 hours straight of working sometimes. They are thinking about buying 2 more supras and building those. They are making decent power with the stock turbo but i think they may throw a bigger turbo on there. i don't think they are going to use this car to compete again next year

I'm just guessing but probably at least 280whp and close to that for tq. They ran a 14.0 in the quarter mile. They had bad tires on it, i'm guessing with slicks and a good launch they could do low to mid 13's. The budget would allow them to get slicks, if i remember right. When i drove i pulled on BMW 330i, pulled like 5 car lengths on him before he let off. The car is quick, i want my friend to race it with his EVO, i think the EVO will beat it though

Wow Herb, that's looking pretty nice. I was eyeballing a nice white Supra of the same generation while I was sitting in traffic on Friday. Great car.
