One of my all-time favorites. Been around for awhile but I'm sure NOT everyone has seen MIDWEST K20a....lots of action at the track n streets....enjoy everyone!!!

YouTube - Midwest K20a vs supra,evo,240sx

 

aside from it sounding like an extreemely pissed off bee in a tin can, that
car is wicked. Geeee you think he gutted it....haahaaa

 

hahah another excellent vid tony. you should win an oscar for these. i don't get how he ran a 13.05 and could beat a 400whp supra? the supra should be killing the civic if that's the civic's best time? (or did i miss something in that vid?)

 

wow that guy in the pontiac sounded like a pure douchebagery...

 

Even though I frown upon street racing that Trans am race made my LOL. trans am "what you running?" Civic "Just a little 4 cylinder." best line ever

 

ha ha! yeah that was classic.

i don't care who you are or what kind of experience you have, sometimes the only replacement for displacement is LESS displacement!!!

talk about walking away with your tail between your legs. ;)

 

I think the Supra was AUTO...if that makes a big difference. Not quite sure what other mods he had on the K20??
From what I have read as well.....the guy driving the civic is not the BEST.


peace tonyd

 

WOW! That is sick. I love those green wheels too.

hmmm...dunno if the fact that is was an auto makes that much of a difference...as they put out so much power, its neglible. most supras out there, if i'm not mistaken, are auto's anyway.

who is driving the civic?

 

IMO there is a difference in AUTO/MAN. Manual's have total control over the engine, exactly were I like to be! Auto's (and not knocking them) you do not have that luxury.
Granted the newer AUTO's have more control over the engine but this particular Supra isn't new.
As far as ALL Supra's being Auto.....I am not sure I agree with you! I would think it would be the opposite.


Peace,

 

This is a pretty interesting article on the history of the Toyota Supra....looks like they offered them in both AUTO n MANUAL.
Toyota Supra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

:)

 

tony i think you misunderstood me, i know there are plenty of manual supras out there, its just that most of the ones that i or my buddies have seen are usually auto's as manual transmissioned ones are simply harder to come by. in fact, the link you provided (thanks by the way ;)) shows that there are a few models (including turbo charged ones) that in certain years were ONLY available as automatics. (most notably being the 1996 model, which is the last gen mkIV bodystyle.)

i agree, a manual give you a lot more control over the engine, the only transmission that 'beats' it to a certain degree is vw/audi's dsg, because its the best of both worlds.

just wanted to clear it up!

 

No issues here....fellow V-DUB fan!! Just in good conversation....I wasn't ever sure on the ratio of manual's 2 automatics that's why I looked it up. Glad you liked it!!! As I know I learned something...which is why we are all here.
We are on the same page...ttyl tony

 

In a high horsepower supra, an AUTO is actually better in a straight line than a Manual.

 

i second the auto thing being faster in a straight. my buddy smokes manual cars in his built supra. from the tranny up to the block, it is at 800 whp without nitrous.

he can never miss a shift, and it is precise shifting to wear he wants it.

 

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

"What ya runnin?"
"Ah, just a little four cylinder."
"Yea, but wha-" ***POOF!!!*** then :vtec: and GONE!!!

I actually got the chills the 1st time i saw that lol...

 

i know one of the greatest ever invented :D

 

yaknow that last part really does get addicting.....

 

i think the civic is severely gutted and has a nice power to weight ratio off the line... awfully hardcore... pretty cool though!

 

and it was untuned.... now just imagine it was tuned
