4. Sriyantha Weerasuria (S.W.)
Output: 1,650 WHP
Claim to Fame: World's quickest and fastest six-speed street Supra
Proof: 7.91@189.9 mph
Sriyantha Weerasuria, otherwise known as S.W., has become legendary in the Supra community with his ultra-rare '96 black hardtop Supra (one of five black hardtops manufactured that year). With an engine built by Boost Logic and tuned by Tuning Concepts, it rightfully owns the title of world's quickest and fastest six-speed street car, with a 189.9mph quarter-mile trap speed, and a 7.91-second E.T. In 2009, S.W. also took top honors in the Unlimited Street class at the Texas Mile with a 246.24mph run. The best part: it's a plated, registered, insured, no-bullshit, street-driven car. No full cage, methanol, tubbed rear, or solid rear end here.
Q: Why is the 2JZ-GTE such a versatile engine? Are there any engines that can compare?
A: The 2JZ has been able to accomplish so much because it came overbuilt from the factory. Every facet of the stock engine, from the short block to its bearings, is capable of matching the Bugatti Veyron's 1,000 hp with 10 fewer cylinders and less than half as much displacement, and today we can build the engines to make double that amount. It's amazing in stock form, and is one of the most modification-friendly engines in existence, period. There are very few engines that share the potential of the 2JZ, and they are either in a much more expensive vehicle or in one that lacks the drivetrain and aerodynamics to perform on the level of the Supra.

5. Autobahn Motorsports
Output: 1,528 WHP
Claim to Fame: World's fastest standing-mile Supra
Proof: 247.7 mph
The Autobahn Motorsports (ABM) Supra, piloted by Tommy Bahn, stunned a field of predominately domestic competitors-including an SVS twin-turbo Viper and Heffner twin-turbo Ford GT-with a record-setting 228.7mph Texas Mile run in October of 2007. The following year, the Supra ran a personal best of 242.2 mph, as a fellow Supra took top honors in the Unlimited Street category, running 243.6 mph. In October of 2010, the Autobahn Supra returned to Texas with additional upgrades, making over 1,500 whp and 1,000 lb-ft of torque, and managed a 247.7mph standing-mile run that's currently recognized as the world's fastest.
Q: Are there any import cars lately that can compare to the Supra's aerodynamics and potent 2JZ-GTE power plant?
A: Not in my opinion. The Supra has an uncommon combination of aerodynamics, gearing, the ability to make stupendous power, and the ability to hold it. This has been shown both in drag racing (even with the Supra's independent rear suspension) and in standing-mile racing. And until big-powered Supras came along, no one in their right mind ever thought a car could actually beat super cars or bikes from a roll. It's this combination of aero, gearing, power, and the manner in which that power is delivered that makes the Supra the straight-line racing king it has become.
