LMAO!! 10.25 @ 148mph wow that should a high 8 - 9 flat!!

As for the Z, if he could get a better launch it would keep up with the supra.

Fast cars for sure, just seem like a pita to get hooked and set-up properly.

Its a FWD 2.0L. Hell there aren't a lot of cars in general domestic or import that can do an 8 second pass with a 148 trap unless the car is set up specifically for drag.

I don't setting up any of the cars in the vid really wouldn't be a pain in the *** if you know what you are doing and have realistic expectations. None of the cars in the vid are high displacement, solid axle cars.

That's the thing, i have seen cars with simple mods and a well thought out set-up go insanely fast for what they are.

There are quite a few inports out here that launch like a ****, front and rear drive.

A stock 350Z on a M/T DR and unit going 11.50's with a 1.43 60'

A basic bolt-on/n2o 300zx on a M/T DR nearly lifting tire, going deep into the 11's.

An all motor civic on small slicks doing 11.20's on the street.

A LS1 240sx 10's on the motor, 9's on the bottle. It dead hooks on M/T DR's.

a 2JZ miata on slicks that runs deep 9's, I think they were going for 8's on the bottle. That thing just lifts the tires and GOES! It dyno'd ~700whp off the bottle too.

It can be done, but people seem to have the most problems with IRS import set-ups for some reason. Don't get me wrong i have seen them go fast and nearly dead-hook, the problem is most of the guys that lack the knowledge of how to get the power down, seem to be pre-occupied with making more power to "fix" the issue. That was my point.

I 100% agree with the comment in bold. It kind of reminds me of a thread I read on supraforums the other day about a guy getting a 12 in the 1/4 on 19" drag radials in a 700whp Supra. People recommend for him to get better tires, but he insists on making more power as well. I tell this guy to set up his car better and get used to what its making before adding power.
