490 is a lot of power. I'm sure that Supra has other mods to improve handling and suspension. You might have to go beyond 1+. Good luck.

Unhappy

490rwhp is about 520 to 550hp. It has added mods so that makes it even worse than the stock 11.9 sec 1/4 mile viper. I don't know about this one, but always have faith in a killer ride like the evolution.

Drivetrain loss in a 6-speed Supra is about 15%. So it would have 563 Crank HP. I have faith in the Evo too but not in a straight line with a modded Supra.

Take him on in the rain and in heavy traffic and you should be ok... He has to spend a lot of money to keep that monster of a brute vehicle planted.

He'll eat you alive on an dry open straight road... At least he'll be getting the ticket if you bump into po po...

While fat you can still get the power to the ground with ease until about 550+hp.

When I read the post I thought you were referring to a stock Supra. You should be able to take on one.

depends, street tires? you have a chance! now, on a track you have less of a chance than on the street, supras hook up much better on the track than on the road. trust me, i had a 500rwhp turbo car, it sucked to launch.....it should be a pretty close race though if he is running street radials(not et streets).
