True, but a LOT has been done in recent years to turn this around. For example, the Mkiv community has learned the hard way that you need drag-specialized rims& tires to hook up that 700+rwhp from a dead stop. Regardless of how well they handle in other circumstances, low-profile street/roadrace tires just don't get the job done on the dragstrip. Besides, let them think it's a rice-burnin' dyno queen that can't hook up...that makes it all the more sweet when we pocket their cash. lol

Agreed.

Hmmm
1993 300zx curb weight = 3533 lbs
1993 Supra TT curb weight = 3475 lbs


Also, 300zx isn't any more of a dragrace-optimal vehicle than the Mkiv Supra, imho.
