Let’s dive into the details of the cars to get a better sense of who might have the edge in this tight battle. The first car up is David's Lexus RC F, a first for us here at Driver Battles. Its 2URGSE 5.L V8 engine is paired with a Lems Titanium intake manifold, RR Racing air oil separator, Antigravity battery, Res titanium exhaust, AFE dry intake filter, and puts out 470 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque. Other mods included are a Seibon vented CF hood Advan Racing RS-DF 18x10 +24, Ohlins coilovers, Figs control arms and rear camber arms, Varis CF front lip, side splitters and diffuser. Mike's Toyota Supra has a B58 3.0L I6 Turbo with 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque. It has an AMS catted downpipe, Armaspeed CF intake, Visconti Tuning flex fuel kit, HKS dual-muffler exhaust and EcuTek engine management. It also features a StudioRSR V1 roll cage, Titan7 T-S5 18x10.7 +38, HDRacing Spec coilovers, SPL Front LCA, SPL tie rod ends, Sayer Designs front lip, CF canards and louvers.

With the consistency of the NT01 tires, both drivers had the opportunity to push their times lower as the day went on. The only question was, who could take advantage, and who would be left wishing they had pushed that little bit more?
