Tuned Toyota Supra Street-Racing Ferraris Is Real-Life Fast and Furious Action

Of course, the movie only took advantage of what already there. The modding scene had already spread all over Japan and America, while the 2JZ engine was already a performance household name, capable of handling much more power without major internal changes.

But there's just something magical about Dom telling Brian to "smoke him" after the cocky guy in the Ferrari talks trash. You've got much-deserved punishment of an over-confident rich guy, not to the bromance brewing between the two, which would eventually land officer O'Conner in deep trouble.

And the irony is while that Ferrari isn't very desirable, people will pay absolutely anything for a Mk4 Supra in the condition they want. The Fast And The Furious could be partly responsible for the sustained popularity of this JDM legend. In 2002, production ended for the legendary A80, but a successor is still terrorizing street races all over America.

Things are a little different now in the powertrain department. The place of the 2JZ has been taken by a BMW engine. The German launch control system makes drag racing tricky, as we saw yesterday, but with the right set of mods, the new Supra can still play on the highway with the best of them.

Of course, the mods on this new model aren't built with a Hollywood blockbuster budget, so you don't get the 1000 horsepower outputs that would demolish everything. But we just wanted to show people are still racing Toyota against Ferraris. The other expensive toys included here are the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, a modded Nissan GT-R, and a Viper.
