No. The only reason people always say this about Supras is because they can make huge amounts or power, which means if you aren't a badass driver, with a badass setup, you wil have trouble getting the car down the car with a good E.T. That goes for any car.
Some could say putting an LS1 motor in a Mazda is stupid, but the point is, we are all entitled to our own opinion. I stand by my comment about the majority of Supras I have seen first hand. They are dyno queens and can't ET to save their life.

Don't start the LS1 RX-7 war again. That is a no brainer. Any car that can run 11's with a stock motor/car, no bolt-ons is repectable, and then go around a track and destroy most high-end cars...

But if you think the majority or Supras you see are dyno queens and can't E.T., then you are just trying to be that way. Or maybe where you live people can't drive? Where I am Supra's are crazy even on the track. Where I go the track, stock twin cars run 10's. At the track I go, I see 6 Supras almost every time. 4 on stock twins, worst time is 12.3's. 2 Single cars, both mid 10's. So maybe people your way just suck at driving or don't know how to set up a car properly?

Oh, and maybe the car you saw run 13.0's was almost stock, since they should run close to that with tires and an exhaust.
