But there is an 03 cobra with the 6 speed and IRS that ran a 10.0 at 141mph, full weight too, except he took out the rear seats but its still a perfectly streetable car.
Well...as you said...automatic is a world of difference. Tons of 8 second cars like that. F bodys, Supras, tons of stangs etc.
If this Supra in question does indeed run a low 9.0-9.3 then its an incredible car and more incredible driver.
Does the owner have experiance in driving a 9 second capable six speed? If he hasnt...he may be in for a rude awakening at the track. Its a whole other ballgame from a stop at the track...especially with a six speed.
