Over the last month or so, we've asked you to take a dive into the Qatar drag racing scene on multiple occasions, and here we are, doing it again. On this occasion, we'll be discussing a Supra that shows why the nameplate has earned so much respect across the world.
This Toyota was built by Al Anabi Performance, a team that employs many US mechanics and likes to keep the throttle welded to the floor.
In the case of the Mk. IV Supra we have here, this means an output of around 1,000 hp, enough to make the car draw attention like a magnet at the drag strip.
The main ingredient here is a Garrett GT47A turbocharger, but when you're pursuing so much power, the supporting mods have to be just as competent.
We haven't seen too many intercoolers relying on dry ice to keep the intake air temperature in check, but this Supra is one of them, with the team refilling the ice tank in front of the camera.
The Supra is seen playing the 1/8-mile game in the footage below, with the machine having a special move, in the form of massive wheelies.
While the wheelstands pulled by this 1,000 hp Toyota are hefty, they don't seem to be the kind that requires a wheelie bar to be installed. Which only means the public gets to enjoy the racecar even more.
As for how all that power is translated into results at the drag strip, we'll let the piece of footage below do the talking.
Before we invite you to hit the "play" button and see the Supra doing its thing, we'll remind those of you who are curious about the kind of drag racing shenanigans that take place in Qatar to check out our previous stories on the matter.
