Ok, but even so there's still no way it would cost anywhere near that $100K you said for a 10 second mkiv supra tt, even if it is "show ready". Also, you don't need a "huge" 800rwhp turbo (or anywhere near it) to get into the 10s. Whether it's a small single turbo, or a bpu supra with nos, 10s are cake for an mkiv tt (with a half-decent driver, of course). From a budget perspective the only trouble with the mkiv tt is the hefty cost of getting the car in the first place. Fwiw, I'd say your reply was far more than "biased"...it was (imho) an extreme exaggeration, since (again) you were about $70K over budget and about 300rwhp too high. You'd have to gold-plate a 10 second mkiv supra tt and put in a $30k stereo system for it to end up costing $100k. j/k lol

Besides, why on earth did you assume "no spray"? jimz asked about drag, and ime spray and drag racing go together like bread & butter...

...also why did you assume that jimz wants info posted on this thread for a full "show ready" car??? Show me where he said that! Even that "budget racer" "1st gen talon tsi" you mentioned could co$t an @$$load if you go all out and prep it for full show...

Like I said Supra2NR, if you want to continue to discuss this, out of respect for jimz's thread, I'd suggest we either start a new thread or drop this right now. Personally, I'd prefer the latter option...

Yep. NDRA, Pro Classes: Pro Street Tire is one example. You need to tell your local boys to get off their butts and compete, since they actually supply one of the kits to bolt a TH400 to the 2jz-gte!

Lastly, jimz, I don't want you to think I'm stating or implying that an mkiv supra is your ideal "10 second car for the least possible amount of money"...even though Supra2NR really exaggerated, you're still looking at at least $25-$30k USD to do 10s with an mkiv, and I'm sure there are many other less expensive options for you. Hopefully if Supra2NR wants to continue this debate about how badly he exaggerated his figures for the supra, he'll have the courtesy to start another thread so this one can get back to focusing on getting your initial question answered.
