Well, way to ownz me ;) i have no idea about the rods. Is the NA-T supra green?

[Shane@DBPerformance]

No, but I think I know the car your talking about. That thing had major problems.

When i said turbo I was talking about making 450+ RWHP. Obviously the gte engines have no trouble making that. On the NA 2jz-ge engine, I haven't seen more that ~450 rwhp. Given that I don't have any hands on experience, this is just what I have read. Ecoli, thanks for the update. I didn't know they made significant changes to the new 2jz-ge. I have also heard that the new, as in bought from a toyota dealership, 2jz-gte engines are failing very soon after being installed. Something about lack of oil/lubrication. Noah
It's something with a rear main seal or some shit. I know I read a long ass thread on it on supraforums, but I didn't care that much cause I don't have a supra yet. We'll probably check my cousin's out though since maybe his might be causing his oil leak problem.

From the commercial, it looked like there is a 1G (Talon/Eclipse) against a Honda (?? not sure of other car).

It's on next Monday (9th) at 8 p.m.

HOW FUCKING GAY IS THIS SHOW? Out of everything on a fucking AWD Talon they toss 125 shot of Nitrus.

[john]

I just started watching it. What is 9.92 equivilant to on a 1/4 track? They are only racing 1/8 mile right?

[john]

The talon wins with a 8.81 1/8 mile time vs a civic running 9.96 while the talon snapped an axle. What is 8.81 in 1/4 time?

[JET]

An 8.81 would be a mid 13 second run in the 1/4. Not bad for doing it with a broken axle. I thought about that as soon as I saw him roll up with slicks on :P

[1ViciousGSX]

What a lame build up for a Talon. Their attitude was like "Dude it's a turbo car, let's throw alot of Nitrous at it, and then only use it for the last 50 ft of the track". :slap: An AWD Talon with all the bolt on parts they showed with 100-125 shot and slicks should have been alot faster. :razz2:
