How much money do you have to spend to make it that fast

For my money, a 360 Modena with minor tweaking would give me the same level of satisfaction as owning a sub 8 second car...its just crazy to think how these draggers are just obsessed with one aspect of driving performance...

 

[EvilYoda]

That's freakin amazing...that launch is SICK...wow.

 

[JeffreyLebowski]

Show me a street legal supra that's that fast and i'll be impressed.

I've seen a 7 second celica. Granted it had a V8 twin turbo tundra engine in it, and was only called a celica do to the shape of the shell thrown on it and the frame, which is prob what this car is.

About what? It's not like he's gonna pull up next to you at a stop light.

Dude, I drive a Saturn. I'm afraid of old ladies in Buicks pulling up next to me.

Isn't a Viper one of the fastest "stock" cars?

That isnt quite a supra. It is a fiberglass body shell that slightly resebles a supra on a racing chassies with a race engine, suspension and so on. That is like saying John Force's mustang is fast. Give me a break.

its not really a supra, its a tubbed funny car. You could get a 69 camaro body for the frame and have 69 muscle car.

He got the hook-up :clock:

You must be confusing 1/4-mile time with 0-60 time...

 

[Shockwave]

Thats not a Supra anymore.....Just a shell of one....

 

[Gibson486]

I did not say it was not fast, i just thought it could hit the mid 6's.

edit: my bad, i just saw the video, i thought it was 0-60, but it was the 1/4 mile.

It's called a FUNNY CAR.

Nothing toyota about it. (but the funny body)

It is not a funny car.

It is a Pro-Mod or Comp-Eliminator.

That's like saying Buddy Ingersoll's Buick Regal is way fast. (low 7's twin turbo V6)

mad launching skill:Q

 

[MustangSVT]

YEAAAWWWWW!! YEEEEAAAAWWWW!!!

is it even 50% supra at thsi point?

 

[Triumph]

I like the sound of that turbo whine.

 

[cressida]

0 - 60 in 7.8? yeah that is pretty slow.
