i can do highway runs and beat pretty much anything and still be able to go to the track and run 9s..

and?? my 240 does 8.6 at 162mph on drag radials and stock rear end..
im talking about a true streetcar...not one with a glide or th400...been there done that already..
ill be more impressed when someone run 9s on their stock built autos..or a 6 speed..

Ah yes, here it is:

There are plenty of LS1's that can go that fast. Just get an HPE or LME forged short block, throw a big shot of nitrous, and you got a fast, reliable, streetable mid to low 9 second car..there's nothing magical about that...

man i know it possible with a th400..**** i have been beaten on the streets in dig races a few times already....if i put back my th400 and crank up and boost, i'd be doing 8s in my supra and still be able to drive it anywhere..it will just suck having to cruise at 70mph and be buzzing at 4000rpm

Now bolt ons vs bolt ons a BPU Supra will get smacked around by a good running bolt on car usually, again I'm talking pump gas vs pump gas.
There are some 911's that are starting to show up in the big hp areas. Markski's car went 10.0x @ 144 (blowing out the plugs on the big end), but did go 119mph in the 1/8th 
There is another car that just got finished being built that was built by Promotive (same people that setup Markski's car) that did a 4.9 60-130 a few days ago.

You didn't mention anything about transmissions in that statement..
You talk as if there are no LSX's that can beat your car. Again, I did not read the entire thread so I can't say what the rules of this "internet race" are, but the reality is there are some LSX's that can beat your Supra. There are streetable, reliable LSX's that can beat your supra street car and the are some LSX equipped race cars that can beat you supra race car. I doubt you will be able to find anyone that will race to your own specific rules...
Just because an LSX car doesn't have the factory transmission shouldn't really matter. I could take my TH400 and put in a factory 4L80E and use that instead. I just didn't want to spend the extra money. A 4L80E is a factory tranny, right?

we already know that they make power...so do the vipers..
Eddie's car is ******* sick. It's by far one of my fav. cars. There is some videos of his car on low boost on the street from a roll. It's insane!
I was referring to the 996 though. The Water-cooled 3.6ltr is still pretty new (starting in 01)
