Supra DRAG RACE: 3.0 v 2.0 v Mk4!

what will win in a drag race between a two-liter modern toyota supra and an old mark iv 100 toyota supra and a new three-liter toyota supra we're going to find out i'm going to race them over the standing quarter mile and compare the times so let me tell you about the car i'm in it's got a two liter turbocharged engine with 258 horsepower and 400 newton meters of torque drives the rear wheels only for an eight-speed automatic gearbox with launch control though launch control is hard to engage because this is a bmw really underneath the skin and bmw launch controls are temperamental and problematic this car weighs in at just under 1400 kilos and if you want one new starts from around 46 000 pounds now the three litre supra costs a bit more money starts from 53 000 pounds but then you get a three liter straight six engine you've also got rear wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic gearbox with a launch control system which is slightly problematic because it's a bmw system but you've also got horsepower and 500 newton meters of torque it is heavier though about 100 kilos just under 1500 kilos actually now the old mark iv supra it has a three liter straight six engine a two jz i'm not american a two j zed i think you'll find it's called so that puts out 320 horsepower and 441 newton meters of torque which is pretty good we're back in the day that used to cost 41 000 pounds quite expensive really today you get one of those for about 27 000 pounds because it's an import and the auto not so desirable but there we go four speed auto it is rear wheel drive no launch control just hold it on the brake booster and go we're gonna find out what happens but before we do please make sure you subscribe to this channel and hit the bell icon to turn your notifications on

comparison site before we race we're going to the obligatory cargo sound check i'm going to rev this thing up no soft limiters here lovely so that's my four cylinders can we hear the three liter new supra please that just sounds way better i can hear it from here it sounds awesome actually does the old mark 4 super with a toyota engine sound better than a bmw built toyota supra i hope that's condensation and not smoke coming out your exhaust [Laughter] sorry it's been brought to us by a viewer i'm sure the car's fine it's nice and warm anyway so it should be fine i think the bmw engine super sunny better than the toyota engine super but what do you think let me know in the comments come on fight it out two jc boys sorry two j zed boys or bmw boys anyway let's race this is a bit of a fast launch i'm not going to launch mode it i'm just going to break boost it and feed it in otherwise it'll spin up its wheels and half the time it doesn't engage launch control look supposed to be in the settings that i've got them in sport traction sports mode floor the brake floor the throttle should say launch that's not it's just doing weird stuff and spinning up its tyres crap i'm just gonna break boost like i said that's why three [Music] [Music] these supras launch like crap [Music] in fact the three lit is given up so you hear that the guy was saying it said launch control but it didn't launch these bmw based launch control systems are rubbish if toyota built their own supra and they did the launch control system you can guarantee it would work the amount of drag races i've done where i've been faffing around trying to get the bmw launch control system to work it just drives me mad when they work they're brilliant but they're so temperamental they're more temperamental than me and that's just not acceptable just easy away [Music] it's actually short shifted i'm beating the three liter on weight here we go come on two liter come on [Music] oh dear oh dear oh dear well my car short shifted from first to second because it was spinning up a little bit the three-liter new super how did you do properly grimy track over this side was put it down but then came through the wind in the end and mark four supra you struggled off the line as well didn't you just struggled to put a bit of power down but then it got going it was good she's a lovely old girl it looked like it was gaining ever so slightly towards the end it just didn't have enough room i think if it was a little bit drier after line it would be closer because it's an auto trying to get the power down it just kind of dumps it it boosts quite hard i want one more go all right let's have one more go well i've got a little theory on this i'm going to turn off my sport traction mode so i've just got traction fully on i think it might just work better in normal mode i'm going to try it it manage the power bell and absolutely manage the power better here comes a three liter now oh is that more for coming [Music] oh that was a good race i enjoyed that three little didn't get a great start because of the power this got off the line the best but that mark four you were gaining on me i was looking it was a quarter mile not a half mile otherwise i was done for yeah that was mega she hooked up much better off the line there it's a little bit slow on the upshift in the auto but oh that was lovely you got a proper super haven't you i've got a bmw as it should be perfect so three little bmw supra how was your launch i've now tried the traction off the traction for that time that was traction on and that was the quickest off the line today but it was still losing its mind that's exactly what i did better to launch like that than launch control of nonsense if you can even get it engaged i do love this car though but i don't know why you'd have it with the blooming two liter the whole reason of doing the bmw thing was for the three liter six lender and then you can put a blooming two liter four cylinder in the car just what anyway it doesn't matter gi yaris everything is forgiven so then what exactly happened well the three liter supra didn't get a great launch but it pulled passive of the two cars and in the end it won completing the standing quarter mile in 13.3 seconds the 2-liter supra was next with a time of 13.6 seconds and last was the mark iv supra which did the quarter mile in 13.8 seconds now we have a rolling race from 50 miles an hour the causing comfort and drive you see what happens i'm going to count it in here we go three two one go they were all a bit ahead of me to start with to be fair that's the effect of two extra cylinders [Music] they're gone they're longer i'm gonna pick you up on this guys i don't think you're quite level with me you're a little bit ahead but it's irrelevant anyway you all just buggered off the kick down on the old car seemed pretty rapid it actually didn't kick down it finished out the revs that it was in you've already got four gears haven't you it's four on the floor i think that they call this don't they it's actually got an overdrive so i might push that button next i don't know what it does but it sounds awesome okay overdrive button is on overdrive is on let's do this again let's do a rolling race from 50 miles an hour i'm steaming up here i'm so excited i've been six gear it's gone into six oh seven there we go three two one oh overdrive boy yeah it's better now we're all lined up those two just seem to be going off together right i'm out of this do you know what there's a bit of delay on your kick down because you had to go down a gear this time rather than just being in the same gear in the old supra and the new one obviously kicked down quicker i think and then there wasn't that much of a difference it wasn't really pulling massively from what i could see a tiny bit off the start and then it just kind of stays where it was so it was up one gear higher when we were cruising there so it did actually kick down that time so that's what kind of gave me a little bit of a delay okay and how was it for you new zupra no trouble putting the power down that time this engine sounds so good at high revs which engine's the best the 2 j z zed or the bmw engine that's not even a question worth answering but we all know the answer what do you reckon let us know in the comments bmw versus super fanboy fight out go on let's do it now we go over rolling race cars in sports mode third gear for the new supras in second gear for the old supra should be even because he's got four-speed gearbox we've got eight here we go i'm gonna count it in three two one go [Music] oh he's pulling on me now that old supra oh two jay z zed [Music] oh i've been enjoying these little races haven't you new three-liter supra that's where it's shining really really nice lovely gearbox that is where it is at its best do you prefer that engine in the bmw rather than the two j z z z z no i still prefer the tj to be honest just because you can build it out to a thousand horsepower you're just saying that the bmw engine's nicer probably a bit more fuel efficient but yeah thousand horsepower come on then brake test get with me 70 miles an hour we'll be doing here we go i lost i always lose these i just want to reflect on how good this car is she's perfect i actually think it's gender neutral it's a they just saying that is mighty impressive for how it stopped isn't it it's almost like we've lined them up for the perfect shot for the camera man it was all choreographed this i meant to lose it was my plan so there you go the three li bmw supra one everything sorry it's not quite the three liter bmw super it's just the toyota super the new one three liter anyway every single test it won this came second in a drag race and then lost everything else he's right you know that old mark iv super has put in an absolutely brilliant performance and if you think about it what it must have been like in its day when it came out one absolutely awesome car to compete against these modern supras now if you want to see much money you can save on a toyota supra click on the

Needs overnight parts from Japan

The mk4 did really well for it's age.

[u/Igagug]

I have to say the GR 4-banger is gonna be a hell of a value buy a few years used.

[u/andrewjaekim]

Damn that little 2L that could!

[u/rabidmonkeyman]

i own a BMW with launch control and it specifically says in the manual that it needs to have been driven for a little bit before it will allow you to use launch control. knowing this, i have never had a problem with my launch control

[u/BEarlSpilner]

Almost had 'em.

[u/King_Porcupine]

I’m still trying to figure out the point of this drag race let alone in wet conditions

Glad they were able to find the only stock auto mk4 in the history of mk4s

[u/S1rpancakes]

Why is it 12 minutes long for a 30 second drag race?

[u/schwartzki]

Sport, 1 press on traction to sport traction mode, transmission in S mode. Hold brake and gas = Launch Control Mode.
