… no i can agree with that. there are tons of supras out there, that their owners dont really practice the launch, or just have any idea what they are doing. There for, loosing all their time at the beginning, then trap at 12x mph. I will say, that the supra is not the easiest car to launch. … but i can agree with you, most of the guys on the supra forum, run 12s at 12x… which those owners/cars could be classified as a highway/dyno queen. ---

Dyno queen = HP numbers and low times…that i what im taking it as :dunno: but props for having a car like that at 19 or 20 ---

"we’ve had pig heavy 3600+lb raceweight cobras with under 450rwhp hit 10’s. (Not comparing the Cobra to the Supra, even though they are nearly identical setups). " “800hp with a 10 second slip is a dyno queen as well” … with those statements, one is obviously more effective on the drag strip 🙂 ---

well junior, it’s time for you to get schooled. 1995 Toyota Supra TT HP: 326hp TQ: 325tq Curb Weight: 3,568 lbs Skid: .92g Engine: 3.0L Inline-6cyl BiTurbo Rear: Independant P/W Ratio: 1hp/10.94lbs 1/4: 13.6 @ 106mph Braking 60-0: 125ft 0-60: 4.7s 2003 Ford Mustang Cobra HP: 390hp (although we all know its ~430hp actual) TQ: 390tq (although we all know, this to is about 430tq) Curb Weight: 3,663 lbs Skid: .91g Engine: 4.6L DOHC Supercharged V8 Rear: Independant P/W Ratio: 1hp/9.39lbs 1/4: 12.7 @ 111mph Braking 60-0: 115ft 0-60: 4.4s so… is this saying the Mustang Cobra isnt as affective on the road course as the Supra? or would you say, it’s a better all around performer too? Again, I will reaffirm my point… Supras are dyno queens. ---

They engines dont give because of the horsepower, they give because of the torque. They usually dont last when approching 800rwtq. ahh ok… guess ford 1 up’d toyota then for power handling, I for some reason thought the 2jzgte handled more power stock… guess I was wrong btw, horsepower is torque… so hence, it still is a power handling issue. Horsepower = Torque @ 5250 ---

i dont understand what your trying to prove… you said a 4XXrwhp cobra is running 10’s… but a 4XX supra may run 11’s… its happend to much for it to be the driver, so obviously has to be the car… right? the cobra obviously is setup more, whether its the supercharger or gearing or suspension, who knows, but going from what you said, the cobra is obvoiusly setup better for the track. ie by the same power and lower times… ---

Out accelerates it, under all levels of modifications as well… Meaning, compare equal ranged power numbers. So it must not be the supras suspension, because the cobra is setup to be exactly identical. I could also compare it to say a Camaro or a Trans Am if you like ---
