This car, a JZA80 Supra, is an Internet sensation of sorts because it's been continuously built to the point that it now has the power to out-accelerate a Bugatti Veyron. But owner Jamie didn't at first intend it to be that way. The first iteration of this build started by removing the stock twin turbos from the and installing a single turbo conversion that would net 500-550 horsepower at the wheels. This was achieved without any problems and at that time, the owner has very happy with the performance.
So, together with that significant bump in output, a high performance RPS clutch, Tein coilovers and Brembo 6- and 4-pot brakes were installed. 19-inch wheels on Toyo 295/30/19 make up the rolling stock. To manage the engine, a Solaris S6GP ecu and Dash2 display were also installed. But as with a lot of builds, the upgrade bug kept on biting, to the point that the car now sports a Precision T6765H DBB turbo, Jun 256/256 cams and 1700cc injectors. As of the last published reports, the car now has almost 1300 horsepower. When the car was still under the 700 hp range, horsepower calculations placed its 0-60 times at 2.9 seconds. At this point, with practically double the power, this black stock-looking Supra would be hitting that benchmark in less than 2 seconds, traction permitting. And its 0-200 mph time is 6 seconds faster than a Veyron.
The car has been featured in several magazines and is probably one of the most acclaimed Supra builds anymore. Its combination of supercar-killing performance and subtle looks show that the owner knows how to spend on the important things and restrain himself on mods that don't significantly improve performance.
