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.

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.

BTW...as I said in another post...my favorite local Supra is Petes black Supra. It is a 9 second capable six speed. He has yet to run the #. But he actually goes to the track on a semi regular basis and has slowly whittled down his ETs to a very low low low 10 and in the 140+ traps.
Practice practice practice! Tweak tweak tweak!
That is the name of the game.

But it goes to show that you do have alot of resentment towards Supra's or Imports.Doesn't matter to me much what you think that's cool. At least your honest and up front.
Some people just take this stuff to serious. At least we can agree no matter what type a car your dealing with if it's a six speed and you can run 10's or 9's with it you definitely did your homework. I tip my hat to you.

And yes some people take this stuff to seriously. I am always honest and upfront that is why some people can not deal with me. Better that way than being some fake.
The homework you refer to applies to any manual car if you ask me, not just 6 speeds.
Glad you took this with a grain of salt.

Alot of Supras are dyno queens. They make alot of power but people seem to forget they are a heavy car. They do make 1,000+whp but you need to be able to put it to the pavement. Plus the owner might not be the best driver. There are alot of variables. Bottom line is lets see some of these Supras put down some numbers at the track. That way there is no doubt to how fast the fastest supra is in tampabay.
