On Friday last week, Graeme from Croydons drove his supra out to meremere.

He then ran a 9.915 @ 219.12 kph.

And drove the car all the way home again.

Full respekta to the man, thats awesome

Now, I'm assuming this gets no attention since its a 2JZ and not a 20V :lol:

Indeed that is awesome. 2JZ all the way

Yea I heard about that. Didn't he pull a faster time then that though?

Somewhere along the lines I heard of a 9.8** (?) although I might be getting my wires crossed up somewhere...

Biggy Ups to him none the less. Very Impressive!

IMO, cars like that are cooler than dedicated drag machines.

(Dont get me wrong, tubbed out, insanely powerful drag machines are cool too!)

Much respect to that man, a sub 10 second car that is still streetable is very cool.

lol i think i saw him drive past too, i was in a primera that was broken down on the side of the road in the early morning that day just north of meremere.

Yep, I was there and watched that pass. Wondered if it was a PB. Excellent to see a sub 10 second streetable supra in NZ at last.

From what I've heard there's a couple coming over from the US (?) this year expecting to pull some well into the 9s and even 8s...

his first run he pulled a 10.4 i think it was against the redline vr4, blew the i/c piping off in third, and just kept the foot up it and drove it n/a, and still did 10.4!! think he also did a 9.984, so that might have been where you got the 9.8 from sk. awesome that he just drove it there and back! dads been forwarding a few of the e-mails on the mk4 club list to me, so thats where i heard it.

pfft thats nothing, Bruse Cullimore drove his 10sec coughhondacough all the way from good old ashburton for the same event

still, i wouldnt mind the supra as a daily driver

as impracticle as it would be

He did the run on street tyres?
I also like the "drive to the event, race all day and then drive home". Awesome. A true 9 sec street car.

That's because we all already know how great the 2JZGTE's are.
It was only a matter of time......

Are you sure it was in the 10's? The Area 51 car eh? AFAIK, he never got out of low 11's

I don't think the Area 51 car is an RB26, just an RB25. And not 'he', 'she'
