actually, the 8 second cars are driven and raced on a regular basis and have completely stock rear ends and dont snap axles. ive never heard one single complaint about blowing a rear end or snapping an axle... however, there are plenty other solid axle and other IRS cars out there that arent as fortunate.
im not bashing cars, im pointing out weaknesses. i invite anyone to "bash" the supra and bring the weaknesses to light, for the sake of argument and to better the conversation.
i brought up the TS class because they are probably the loosest example of a "Street" legal car that can be given. and everyone is calling BS on my claim that the supras i have mentioned, when in fact these cars are FULL weight w/ full leather/suede, stereo system including subs and amps, all power equipment, AC and power steering, the full 9-yards. everyone wants to call BS when i bring up these points, or they say that its not that big of a deal and other cars can do similar times or numbers... yet every time i turn around, people are still making a huge deal out of beating a Supra. CONGRATULATIONS! guess what, you just beat a 10 year old car! if the supra isnt all that its made out to be, why does everyone get so ecstatic when they take one down.
ive already successfully defended the supra as a bone stock street car and its performance capabilities and ive defended the supra as a car with massive performance potential when modified. but when people still cant grasp the concept of what im laying down, i have to condescend and break it down in a manner they can understand. people call bullshit on facts that i present, i give credible sources and contact information for first-hand verification.
if people choose to be ignorant, than so be it. i will treat them accordingly.
