Yep - absolutely no problem at all. I've got just one word for you, Chuan: slicks. There are lots of MKIVs in the 9s in the 1/4 mile, quite a few in the 8s, and even a few in the 7s...and most of these Supras are running slicks. The best 60' times are barely over 1 second...I honestly doubt that very many (if any at all) Skylines could top that. In other words, with a single turbo, a set of slicks, and maybe a small shot of nos or a two-step rev limiter, you'll be well prepared to embarrass/destroy anything from a dead stop.

About 800rwhp now, but my mods should support well over 1000rwhp. I've got to get off my butt and get it tuned for high boost. Please feel free to email me if you'd like more info or pics.

Sure. AWD is generally slower around a roadrace course, with a good driver. Also, AWD can be more expensive to maintain than a rwd car. Of course, I agree with you 100% about the looks - imho the skyline looks like a sedan.

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.
