btw, chuck, Larry has an 8'second street car that he drives to work (Sound performance) on a regular basis. as i said before, Eric takes his car on road trips and its his "reliable" car. Scranton drives his car on a regular basis as well. its MUCH different than a Twin T66 99 Cobra in a "True Street" class that only stipulates 30 miles of driving before and after race events. these are REAL street cars with REAL interior that are Driven on the REAL street. i dont know whats so hard about grasping this.
these arent solid lifter V8's w/ carbs. the lash doenst need reset every 1500 miles, we dont need to readjust the idle air misture or the secondary throttle air bleeds or metering jets. we dont need to change the springs on the advance weights inside the distributor, we dont need to reset the idle... we can set it once w/ the ECU and it STAYS that way and the car is actually Drivable. once the car is dialed in, its more or less permanent.
but, hey, you can keep the RT w/ the 46RE Tranny that is super mega reliable and bulletproof
like i said man, if you dispute the claim that Ryan woon's car was stock when he ran those times, give him a call. i would give him a call for you, but youd still raise the BS flag on that. the only possible way to get around this negativity and disbeleif is for you nay-sayers to find out first hand. now either find out and shut up... or just accept what i say since i have proof and souces.
You are going to tell me a stock Supra IRS rear end will hold up enroute to 8 second time slips and the chassis wont twist itself to shit without a rollcage in it?
And I have no idea why you are bringing up FFW True Street class into this argument, it baffles me. Whats to say those cars that run in that class arent street cars? Thats a class rule set for standards to make cars prove their worth as a street car for the class, nothing more. What would have them do? keep daily written records that they drive the car daily on the street?
Dont know this whole argument with carbs either. They are lots of ppl that run stand alones in many other cars and are street driven machines. Using carbs vs EFI is personal choice among the builder. Most ppl run carbs run purpose built track cars.
You seem to be bashing on ppl that go their own way and build their cars for what they want in an effort to defend the supra as a 8 second street car.
Supras are nice cars, with a lot of horse power potenial. No need to bash on other cars to justify yours.
