If you don't mind me saying so, your statements are not at all true. You do NOT need 800rwhp to get an mk4 Supra into the 10s, and you do NOT need 100k to build an 800rwhp mk4 Supra. I don't know where you think you heard this BS, but it's not even close to reality. The Mk4 may not be the ideal drag race platform, and I'm not saying they're cheap to modify for drag racing, but your figures are absolutely rediculous. There are already ~500rwhp 'bpu'+nos mk4s in the 10s, so why do you think it takes another $70K and 300 more rwhp to do exactly the same thing? Rofl.

Pardon me hijacking your thread jimz...just trying to make sure the supra-related info posted on this thread is accurate. Supra2NR, if you want to debate me on this point, we should probably start a new/different thread...

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
