Especially during the winter, street racers behave completely different to the rest of the drivers. We all know this kind of people enjoy a snowstorm simply because it allows for more intense drifting while many drivers are rather terrified by the perspective, but Christmas preparations are different too. For instance, while you were out crossing the final holiday tasks off your list, these guys pulled an intoxicating match between a heavily modded Supra and one of the meanest bikes in BMW Motorrad’s line-up.
The motorcycle we are talking about is a BMW S1000RR. To understand the intensity of this two-wheeled creation, we’ll mention the Germans only brought this machine to the street because they were forced to by World Superbike homologation rules.
Tipping the scales at 458 lbs (208 kg), the S1000RR throws 193 hp, enough power for a hot hatch, at its rider. To make things even more interesting, the example raced in the clip below is modded, featuring custom gear ratios and a bespoke exhaust system.
As for the Supra they used in the highway night race(s) against the Beemer, the car has probably done more illegal sprinting miles than normal driving ones. We aren’t aware of its output, but rumor has it you need around 900 hp to beat a stock 1,000cc sport bike.
Given the fact that this Supra smokes the S1000RR, we are dealing with quite some firepower here. Still, we can offer you the various mods applied to the 2JZ under the hood.
The powerplant has kept its stock intake, but features Manley engine internals, a Precision 7675 turbo, porting Solutions race port head, Powerhouse Racing S45 turbo manifold, Powerhouse Racing triple walbro gas pump setup and GSC S2 cams. That turbo delivers a massive 40 psi (2.76 bar) of boost and while the turbo lag is obviously frightening, once the thing starts spinning, the result is devastating for any opponent, as you can see in the clip below. Note that the car was running a 38 psi setup during the BMW race.
In his quest to bring you the most impressive automotive creations, Andrei relies on learning as a superpower. There's quite a bit of room in the garage that is this aficionado's heart, so factory-condition classics and widebody contraptions with turbos poking through the hood can peacefully coexist.
