OH yeah and so you know I said Hondas had hi revving motors i didn't say the K20 was a hi revving motor cause its not i mean it can but realisticly anyone who has ever driven a K20 (my old lday as an RSX type-S) would know that its quick in low RPM ranges too. For god sakes its not a S2000 it does make power under 6000rpms.

OK dude I do know what i'm talking about. A god *** mother *** turbo car should make more HP ok torque is important but torque only means so much when it comes to hi performance. Torque is better suited for hauling 8000lb loads on the farm not 8 second passes on the 1320. Don't get me wrong you need torque if your car had 400hp and only 200lbft of torque then you would be screwed but when was the last time someone said "damn I really need to make 800lbft of torque to get 10seconds this weekend". Appearantly we won't agree on this subject and thats fine i'm sick of arguing about it (even tho it doesn't seem that way lol) But what i find funny is we are not saying anything about the mazda and i don't know about you but i'd rather have the VW over the GTI any day but hey since you do know something about VW tell me are there any turbo kits for the VR6?

there are many vr6 turbo kits available, from single to twin kits, and ive even seen some ragazine articles on a few triple turbo kits in europe (overkill of course, for show purposes mainly). EIP kits alyways made the most power back in the day, but they were know to be unreliable and had horrible customer service so people shy away. bahn brenner makes 300+ at the wheels with their 12v vr6 kits, not the highest numbers but reliable (and what good is the car if its broken all the time). HPA is a canadian tuner who builds stupid cars like their twin turbo 24v vr6 awd new beetle, almost entirely with VAG OEM parts and it runs repeatedly deep into the 11's, still gets mid 20's for gas mileage and you can daily drive it.
the 2.0T at 200hp is nowhere near its design limits. you are suggesting that they "just cannot muster any power out of their engines" which is absurd. this is why i brought up the extreme example in the veyron: at 1001hp it is, by a far margin, the most powerfull production car in the world and is powered by a VW-designed W engine.
next year the new audi tt will be offered with a 280hp 2.0t (badged as the TT-S). with the GTI, they set a parameter on power and (easily) achieved it. just because it makes "only" 200hp does not mean vw was incapable of extracting more. a car manufacturer has alot more goals than a horsepower war, and thats all there is to it.
p.s. post a dyno sheet and a pic of this 1000hp supra you mention.

Ty for the info on the VR6. My thing with the veyron is a million bucks for 1001 hp is absurd, you can make that kinda power without spending that kinda money. I'll have to have my car dynoed to get the sheet but i'll get a pic of it up here for ya. But so its known i don't keep it set up to 1000+ whp all the time just in case anyone thinks thats stupid if roughly about 850whp, it however can do 1000+ if i turn up the boost and swap out the downpipe (the one on it regularly is a 3in integrated cat downpipe). But ya i'll get a pic of it on here in second but you'll need to wait for the dyno sheet i don't know where it would be if i even still have it.

If the pic doesn't show then i'll try again. Anyways thats my car. However the body will change soon i hope. I want to put a BuddyClub2 widebody kit on it and some kinda carbon fiber hood with black rims. any suggestions on what kinda rims would be nice. if you want to klnow whats under the hood just ask but i'm not gonna sit here typing it all if no one cares.

you aren't spending a million (1.2 mil) just for 1001hp. you've got to realize priorities; if someone only wanted to have 1000hp bragging rights they would do it on the cheap with a c5 whorevette or a 4th gen f body.
there is alot more to buying a car like the veyron than just having 1001hp.you are paying the money to own a bugatti veyron, an extremely limited production supercar which, among many other qualities, is the most powerful [i]production[/i] car available and the fastest, at 252mph. your supra, if its really real, cannot go 252mph. not even close. not that it needs to, but the veyron can and that is part of the exclusivity of owning one.

Ok yes they're rare and there fore desireable. Hell i'd take one if ya gave it too me but a million dollars is ridiculous. A Hennessy Venom Viper does 255mph so its not like the veyron is some hot *** Not to mention the fact that it has a carbon fiber body and anyone who has carbon fiber knows it tends to fade easyily. Yes my supra is real. Its not like i'm talking about owning a Enzo but I do understand that you need proof which is fine so like I said before just tell me how to get the pic on this because I tried to get it on here but it says it has to be in an HTTP//: form and i'm not sure how to go about doing it that way.

put the url of the image in between image tags like this -
[img*]url goes here[/img*]
BUT take off the *s - i had to add them in this post so you could see the code - so just the "img" and "/img"
