Lamborghini Murcielago vs. Dodge Viper vs. Modded Toyota Supra

Guess who won from a rolling start?

Very fast cars indeed.

Yeah... cause then I could sell it, then buy the other 2 with the profits and still have some money left over to buy some other nice stuff as well.

I also like how the guy driving the Supra thought he was "1337" just because he won (with nitrous). Race those cars without the bottle and then we'll see how far you get.


Twin Turbo is no slouch. But against a V8 Viper and a Lamborghini with a V10 (?) - your Twin Turbo will not hold up.

Ahem... the Viper is a V10. The Lamborghini has a V12.

the Toyota Supra has an inline 6 cylinder.



Funny thing is... in that video, the Viper beat the Lamborghini. I definitely wasn't expecting that. Maybe he had something "extra" under the hood as well.

Either that or he was granny shifting.
Thanks for the correction on the Viper/Lamborghini...for some reason I must've confused my cars up. Well, not my cars... sheesh I can only dream...

Keep the nitrous but take those cars around some sort of a curves and I'll be impressed. Anyone can drive in a straight line.

Well, I doubt that any of those cars would have much of a problem in curves, especially the viper and lambo. Both have awesome skid pad numbers.


I was quite confused by the race though. The Supra beat the Viper easily, while it barely beat the Lambo. Yet, the viper beat the lambo easily, so the comparisons aren't equal.

I think the bottle is quite unfair, considering that the Supra was probably putting out much more HP at that point than either of the two other cars. Make them equal, say by putting the Viper and Lambo on the bottle.

fair? you're comparing a lambo with a toyota. if adding NOS more than evens things up against a car worth more than double the supra, i'm impressed. and if you put the other two on the bottle...well, we wouldn't be having this conversation would we?

Meh. You could put anything into a crappy looking body and make it faster and cheaper than a lambo, but it's still crappy looking.

Honestly, a Supra isn't what I'd call "crappy"... "Ricey" maybe... but definitely not crappy.

----------------------------------

The Toyota Supra is just one of those pieces of fried rice I wouldn't mind owning myself if I could afford one (it definitely outclasses the majority of the "2 Fast 2 Furious" crowd.. i.e. the basic Honda Civic/Acura Integra/Other Low end Japanese cars). Even without the bottle, it's still a beast... but that being said that vid is pretty interesting regardless.

For sure, I just thought it would make the race much more entertaining.

I would take the Supra. Either one of the other cars would get stolen or hurt by jealous bastards. Not to metion, the supra is probably the only one i could ever really afford.
All nice cars, but i'd never want any one of those colors.

What they should've done is stretched it out for about 5 minutes and see where everyone stands at that point
