To build cars like that and run well takes a lot of skill. (Speaks volumes on what they can do for lesser cars for business. Best advertising you can have is a fast, race-winning race car)
Look at the NHRA. A lot of those cars that run in classes are a bunch of guys putting money in together to have a go at making rounds. (Even Pro Mods in the ADRL, etc.)

Hey Stephen, Brandon, Gypsy Ricky, and I were all skinny back then! If I remember correctly Brandon won by many many cars. Ahh how those were the days late and boring night at Pinemont.

Why not just run what you brung? Either its fast enough or its not. Screw "SInce you have an auto then I want - lengths." Either the Supras are setup to race and can keep up or they can't. If they arent set up to drag but to run top end then they should look for vettes and such, not camaros set up only for drag.

I noticed this forums has a dyno section and seems pretty popular. I just feel that most of you think a supra is not worthy. My car is a full-weight street car. It has stock seats, the back seat, stereo system, stock suspension, stock rear end, stock gearing, stock axles, power steering, and working ABS. The car will dyno +1500whp, run a 8.4 in the quarter, and blast 230mph in the standing mile.

We all have different sized check books, the cheapo's work just fine. However, some 14" Brembos look killer on a 8 second drag car. My car is pretty much retired. I believe the man next door is going to keep the ultra street car supra dream alive. He has a much bigger wallet than me. Now, he can drive his own damn car. He told me he wants to go 8.20's and run 240mph in the mile. The car should 300-400lbs lighter than mine.
