Leaving downtown today from 6th ave I see a car with a huge wing approach... as he passed me I see that it is a silver supra with a veilside kit and wing! I did a ricer flyby to acknowledge that its on, and waited for him to line up before we took off. He gunned it first (he was behind me by a few car lengths) and I gunned it as soon as he was lined up evenly. The automatic transmission in my sunday cruiser downshifts and I pull about 5 - 6 cars from the 14th street turn off till the bridge right before the crowchild trail turn off. I thought it would be over at this point but the supra caught back up and was on my tail so I tapped the gear shifter to downshift, and used some roadcourse skills on the turnoff to crowchild north. I was ahead again by about 5 - 6 cars and let off as there was traffic up ahead (I was also approaching the speed limit! :rofl: ). The Supra passes me and the driver gave me a quick nod.

I want a Supra! :)

Fun drive home. :thumbsup:

Did the supra have a big rear wing? It might've been the one I saw in chinatown.

I saw that Supra in China Town tonight! (It was parked across from Timothy's).

I also saw Rage2 and some other people downtown. I drove by and saw a bunch of asians then I noticed Rage2 infront of everybody (Saw him at a meet before, so I knew what he looked like) :)

I've seen that Supra before also. It has the full Veilside kit (including wing). So nice!

Watch out for the silver veilside Supra that has BC plates. He's put more than the price of a new supra into it in mods, ... dunno if he's still around though

I wanted to go check it out, but I was just driving down 3rd ave to get onto the bridge and then I saw it and wanted to turn around but it was too late :)

If it has a T-Top, then it's a Turbo (Factory Turbo at least). I've only seen it twice though, and never seen the top down :)

step back boys, this is my department...

Definition #1:
Well, first I would race you... then after you kick my ass and slow down to cuz I'm 8 cars back and the race is over; I just blow by you and tell my friends that my vtec kicked in and I kicked your ass!:burnout:

Definition #2:
the act of blowing by a car that isn't even racing you.

i know both owners, supra community, lol

the one that is from calgary is stock, except for exhaust and 18 monte carlo rims.
the second is from the vancouver, the owner is scared of the car and want it downgraded? weird.
RCTS is downgrading the car right now but I also heard he doesnt want the car anymore.
the car last dynoed at 600rwhp, he is running twin gt2845's

It is a turbo. I know because I was good friends with some of his friends, and I met his brother a few times.

Did the guy used to live here in Calgary? He was pretty young.. The one I am thinking of was sent the car down to Cali and has a custom system, standalone engine mgmt and pretty much everything was stripped an rebuilt with god knows what parts. I think the car had around $80K just in mods... Is that the one.

Yeah I see that Supra pretty often whenever I go downtown/chinatown.

About the ricer fly by thing, so many super riced up cars do that to me when I'm infront of the line on a red light.

They rev their engines and peel out and I just start off slow and then they slow down and give me a stare but it's not like I care. Nothing to prove to them.
