The graph is very funny - done on a wet road, at night, one-handed, with a bad head cold....

The graph looks like it has come from one of those dash-mounted accelerometers. Maybe he estimated the weight of his lardy *** to be 4 tonnes?

You could active more B.H.P on a longer flat piece of road or a race track

Remember, the 600-odd bhp was only achieved at part throttle boys because there was 'plenty left in the pedal'

Can those engines be made to make those kind of figures ?

Its like when a non car enthusiast starts talking crap at you, I am the font of all knowledge on car matters, dont know anyone who knows more car related crap in my circle of freinds and relatives but certain relatives always insist on saying stuff like that guy was on about.

like,

1st and second gears in my car are crap but it flies in third ?

lol.....My god that guy should be shot!!, to even get near a mclaren F1 you would need more than a 1990 supra and £25,000!! who would actually believe those figures when he talked to you what a complete idiot....

All that power and 0-60 in 4.7 seconds?

My 360bhp car (1150kg) does it in around 4.2. So does this car weigh like 2.5 tonnes or something?

I'd also be pretty disappointed with ~700bhp, ~900 lb/ft and only 160 mph. Surely V6 Vectras are that fast these days?

As someone asked, they can be tuned stupidly, I'm sure I've seen a few Supras in the world allegedly running over 1000bhp. You could probably even find some by doing a search.

Having said that, this bloke is clearly talking rubbish. 6*550 injectors maybe say 600bhp? 692bhp at 3627rpm would actually be just over 1000lbft "with some pedal left to go", and at those revs, lots more power to come. No chance. And a standard-looking 1990 Supra boasting "great in your face road presence"? No offence to Supra owners - they're good tunable cars, but LMFAO

Anyone want to put a bid in, pending on him justifying his power claims on a local RR?

Not the MK3 - its the MK4 engine thats good for over 1000bhp.......

However, as you say, 550 injectors on a supra pretty much max out at 550ish bhp.........

Holeshot racing having got 700BHP out a 1600CC Turbo'd Hayabusa engine, the fastest car may well be the one that has that in it....Or maybe 2 of them in it!
