hehe...yeah i dunno man...just going by what i saw...



some things are just weird i guess...

a stock supra will beat an FD in the 1/4 (generally speaking)...but probably has a slower 0-60 time

a MKIV supra does 0-60 in 4.8 seconds i think. even though its as heavy as a beached whale i think they are underated from the factory

Its tough to compare cars 0-60 times to quarter mile times because of gearing and wheel spin, etc. Who knows what kind of 60' times that TII got that had the mid 5 0-60? And some cars like the Supra have insane top end through the traps once you get its heavy *** moving. I think trap speed through the quarter is a better indicator of overall power to weight....

That's great for drag radials. I don't see why the slicks wouldn't get you sub 1.5 60's... providing the diff and axles can handle it!
