Agreed, but if you've got a 950rwhp Mkiv Supra Turbo with a TH400+trans-lock, nitrous (for spool-up), and slicks, the d@mn thing is pretty much point-and-shoot. Getting it into the 10s would be child's play, and 9s only a matter of practice after that. In truth, it'd actually be an 8 second car, but THAT would indeed be highly dependent on the driver.

In addition, I'd point out that although the driver's skill is a significant factor in drag racing (up to let's say 10%-25% of the time component), in roadracing the driver's skill is many times more important (probably closer to 50% of the time component).

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
