UPDATE: I found a second video showing what was going on races 1-5
A few of my friends and I decide to get together to drive up to a local hangout in "mexico" to see some cars and grab food(60+ nothing worth talking about though). To my surprise my buddy decided to leave the NSX (stock) at home and borrowed his brothers freshly modded Supra. I had been trying to get a piece of that Supra for quite some time but his brother is the type to not race if it's not a guaranteed victory. After he heard I was close to the power he had on low boost he said oh, well if we race I'll have to turn it up to high boost. Well THAT race never happened. Fast forward to this night same car different driver.
The four of us set off in three cars and start crusing to out destination. There was zero talk about getting some runs in on the way up so the first six races weren't caught on video do to the passanger not owning a smart phone :shrug:. The Supra with passanger lines up next to me and drops his speed down to 40mph (big no no when running a Z06 but I cut him a break). I match his speed but only drop down to third gear because it was about 40 degrees at night and I didn't want to spin, I was being a little cocky knowing he'd only be on low boost all night, and because he had a passenger (440lbs to my 175lbs). He honks it off and we roll out to about 120, all outcomes were decided before my need to ever shift out of third gear. I won races one through five by 1.5-2 cars still walking so there was no need to continue.
Race six right before our destination my buddy looks over at the passenger (straight out of a movie) flips open the arm rest and says "IT'S TIME TO WIN" and ups the boost. I had no clue what was going on but I found out quick fast and in a hurry that somthing was up after he dropped his speed to 40 once more and honked it off. We start running, at about 100mph I look in the rear view where he had been all night, I said hmm he's not there. I glance over and this dude is actuly gaining ground on me his front bumper on my front fender and kinda pulling. At this point I can hear the sound of his turbos over my cutouts. I am then forced to grab 4th gear at 120 so there was no confuson win or lose on who the winner was or was going to be. We stopped at about 155 with me stopping his pull and putting his front bumper at my door. Me being the good samaritan and trying to make the races decent almost cost me. Once we got to where we were going I heard the classic "dude I almost had you" with all the people now starting to gather at our cars I changed the subject rather than finishing the line. I asked how the heck he kept up so good. I figured maybe he gave break boosting a shot which he hadn't all night. The passenger then told me about the "IT'S TIME TO WIN" statement extremely loud trying to play to the crowd, so for the ride home I decided to show him I was holding back also. Only difference... the cameras where rolling!

The C6 Z06 is stock with the exception of cutouts. The TT Supra has meth, exhaust, intake, aem ecm, tune, boost controller, and drag radials (I may be forgetting some things do to the length of time since the initial call out I gave his brother). Low boost 475, high boost 510
