well, mention if the TT supra is modded as well, but if its not, and is totally stock, you should beat it if you launch your car right. And again a TT car will spool a bit slower cause both turbo's do not spool at the same time. Hence why most TT supra Owner convert to a Single T3/T4 BB turbo for faster and more effecient spool.

It will be really close....is it auto or stick...if it's auto...not much will depend on her driving ability. If it's stick...a lot will depend on her shifting points and all. The Supra (correct me if I am wrong someone) is around 300-330 HP....So if you have your car driving skills down and she doesn't...you will win

The stock turbos on the TT Supras will spool much faster than a single turbo. The reason for switching to a single is to get much greater flow, not because of spool reasons. Its like the T25 in a 2G DSM or the stock 16G in an Evo. Sure, they spools nice and relatively fast, but they only have so much flow. They're good for basic bolt ons, but if you want big power, you have to get a turbo with big flow. And, more flow means more lag. Thats why you see guys swap out the 2 stock turbos for a big single T78 or T88 in Supras. A big turbo won't spool as fast, but will have tons more flow. And flow = power

93-95 supras will do the quarter in about 13.5
96-98 in about 13.7-8

fastest recorded stock time for the supra was a 13.3
I did 13.3 stock on my evo
as long as it doesnt have a big turbo upgrade its equally matched
