As unsafe as they are, street races are incredibly exciting to watch, especially if they have two amazing cars involved in it. It takes at least two cars to race, and the most interesting ones usually involve well proven street racing cars. This time, it is the battle between Japan’s and America’s beasts, the Ford GT and the Toyota Supra.<\/p>\n

These two cars are true beasts even in its stock form, and their tuning potential is even greater. That fact makes them ideal for different performance enhancing mods. So, when they’re properly modified, they are the force to be reckoned with.<\/p>\n

There’s a total of 1,300 horsepower in this video. Yes, that’s right! The GT has 700 horsepower coming from the all-American V8, while the Supra has 600. These numbers are quite impressive, but that’s not all. Remember, the Supra has 320 horses and the GT has 550 as stock, so there had to be some serious tuning involved.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Both race cars have sick mods<\/h3>\n

As the biggest mod, the Texan GT has a Whipple 4.0L Crusher Supercharger. There’s also a pulley and ADV1 wheels. That alone is enough to bump the GT’s horsepower from 550 to 700. All blacked out and entirely badass, this Ford GT also has a 1BADGT licence plate, and it couldn’t be more true, because it really is as fast as it looks!<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the Supra has a longer list of mods. Otherwise stock motor has PHR 6266 turbo kit and Brian Crower cams, with a built automatic transmission. That brings the horsepower to 5700 wheel horsepower on 28psi running on E85 fuel. The exhaust is Blitz Nur Spec, and the Supra runs on street tires.<\/p>\n

Japanese imports or American muscle?<\/h3>\n

On paper, the difference in horsepower is significant, but what happens when you transfer that to the street? Luckily for all of us, these two amazing cars came head to head on a highway, and the result is a full blown street race.<\/p>\n
