with the evo it would be a very close race, i think that the lightning may edge it out slightly. I dont know quarter mile times for the evo, but according to 0-60 times we have .1 second on them
As for the skyline, they were never sold in the states, some people imported them, but I dont think anyone would have raced one.

I saw one Evo at the track and it was running low-mid 14's and was trapping around 93-95mph. Hopefully next season there will be some better drivers with those cars because I am interested in seeing what they can do.

I raced a supra that day and he ran a 13.83@105 to my 13.89@100.

Yes. I think I even have a few videos of me racing Supras. My friend has a BPU Supra and when I was stock I would pull him hard off the line then by about 70mph he would fly by me. Now with my $600 of mods I beat him through the 1/4 mile by about half a second or so.

I raced an evo the other day - and I smoked him by about 5 carlengths.... At the next light, he rolled up and said, "next time I will use the bottle." I replied, "Me too." hahahahaha I don't think that he believed me - but oh well...

I dont think a stock supra will take a stock L will it? Most supras we will come across are modded anyway being that it is one of the easiest cars to mod as far as gaining horsepower.

I ran a Skyline once..................ONCE!!!

https://www.f150online.com/forums/sh...e&pagenumber=4

I sincerely doubt that will ever take place again...............that was fun!!!!

I haven't had a chance yet with any EVO's, STi's, or Supras.
