? Fwiw, I've seen several ~600rwhp Mkivs in the 10s. Not sure what you mean...

I agree that the Mkiv isn't the cheapest nor an optimal platform for drag racing, but how many other platform can run 9s, and then kick butt roadracing with nothing more than a tire swap & a few clicks on the coilover settings? "Any other lighter car"? Like a Miata? ...or maybe a Geo Metro? Rofl. j/k

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.
