Of course, the 1994 Toyota MKIV Supra has been modified. At a curb weight of 3,650-pounds, this rear-wheel drive Supra is powered by a turbocharged 2JZ 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder engine dyno certified at 850whp. Upgrades to the factory setup include a huge single Garrett turbo (replacing the twin turbo setup), high-volume fuel system, premium engine and cylinder head components and a massive air-to-air intercooler. The twin nitrous setup is direct port injected, but the owner swears that it is not in use today. The transmission is a 6-speed sequential.
We have custom wheels and fat slicks out back. The interior is loaded with carbon-fiber elements and it’s all business. Not an exact replica, but tastefully done.
In the opposite lane is the all-wheel drive 2021 Ferrari SF90 Stradale with its modern hybrid powertrain. Between the four-wheel gription and the strategically placed electric motors, this thing leaves the line like a scalded dog. Primary horsepower is gleaned from a 4.0-liter twin turbocharged V8 engine mounted in the middle of the car. The remainder comes from a trio of electric motors. All in the SF90 is rated at 1,000hp. The transmission is an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic and the Ferrari tips the scale at approximately 3,800-pounds.
Let’s line these horses up for some 1,000-foot drag racing passes.
