Do you know if it was "1000hp" or 1000rwhp? Either way, the result shouldn't have happend as it did. Either that Supra wasn't set up well/optimally for drag racing (i.e. one or more of the following: suspension, tuning, 2-step rev limiter, nos, tire pressure, etc.) ... or the Supra driver isn't worth his/her salt. *shrug* When it comes to race day you're either 100%+++ ready or you've already lost. On paper, the Supra should have won, but that's why there are real-life races, with real cars and real human beings driving - because paper doesn't tell the whole story. Fwiw, I hope they get a rematch someday...and that the vid gets posted so we can all enjoy it!

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.
