Ran my buddies Supra powered Lexus.

The other night the guys from the auto club here at school were out cruising around and my buddy Steve and I got into it. He's got an SC300 Lexus with a turbo motor out of a Supra in it. It's got a 60 series turbo on it and a 5 or 6 speed trans from the Supra I believe. We ran a few times, twice on the highway, the first from like 65mph or so (not a good idea in the GN I know) and he pulled about 3 cars on me. Second time we backed down to around 50 (still not that good I know) and he still pulled 2-3 cars on me. Ok so we know he's got a much better top end now....I knew that going into it, haha. We finally get a stoplight, I built a little boost and took him by 3-4 four cars from the dead stop. I was pretty pumped, we let off fairly fast since we were pulling into a lot coming up. He definetly woulda caught me if we kept going more than that, but I was pumped I got him off the line. My car's pretty much bone stock minus a good tune, full 3'' exhaust, some frame braces, and a K&N filter. I thought I kept up pretty good for having a mostly stock car versus his full engine swapped vehicle. All in all it was good fun either way!

Nice runs, Wonder why these cars do not have a good top end charge ?
Heads can't flow enough or something ? I always thought a turbo engine would pull harder on top end.

Because you need to spend a lot of $ to get reliable mph. Your paying in one way or another. My black car went 126mph on the first pass a 24.5 psi. Plenty of top end to beat on 99.9% of anything you encounter on the street. Heads, cam, turbo, intercooler, and a lot of fuel. If you want to do it with 93 octane then you need alky injection. Then tune the bitch.
