I like supras and the engine kicks ***.. I have read that most of the guys who mod them out to 800+ still use the stock bottom end..so Toyota must have done something right with that.. Now if only they werent so damn expensive..

they don't all run bad times.
it's hard to hook all that power off the line... they can run great times at the track far easier than a much lighter FD, it really depends on the driver. The car is very capable, the heavy weight is more of an issue when you try and road race the thing. My buddy took his to gingerman and couldnt pass a focus svt driven by an instructor. Gingerman is a small technical course, a FC would be great for it though.

Please use correct terminology -
track = road track
strip = drag strip
All you do is confuse people when you use "track" to mean drag strip...
Thank you.

6. A path or course laid out for a race, for exercise, etc.
I don't think saying 'track' specifies a road course or drag strip, it's a very general term and in my opinion is correctly used when describing either one. I personally think you are adding context to a word which the definition does not contain.
Take your slang and shove it?
