No sore spot hit... It just gets kind of old when some one who doesn't own a Supra, or even know much about them goes on to a public forum and pretends he is an expert on them. You haven't even presented one fact or shown any proof to back up your statements. Your ignorance is showing through...

I'll race anyone from a dig or a roll.

There is no such thing as a 1000 hp/ 400 ft lb Supra. Any Supra with a thousand horsepower is going to make atleast 700 ftl bs of torque, hell I made almost 475 ft lbs of torque when my car was BPU and only had 420ish rwhp, and I had less than $1200 into my car to get that kind of performance.
I ran a 12 second flat 1/4 mile time with less than 500 rwhp and my car was full weight and on drag radials. I know others who have run 10's with not much more power. I am sure there are a few people who have ran 12's with 600-700 rwhp because they are on 19 or 20 inch wheels with a 300 pound stereo system in the back. One thousand rwhp cars are few and far between and the majority of them are cars that you do not want to mess with, from a dig or a roll.
I don't go around laughing at the T/B guys for posting about geting their asses handed to them by Nissan Maximas and WRX's, so don't bust on a Supra for runing 12's because you know most T/R's run in the 14's.

BTW Supra's don't run 14's stock...

Car & Driver 3/93 '93 Supra TT 6spd:
0-60mph: 4.6 sec
0-100mph: 11.1 sec
0-150mph: 29.6 sec
Quarter mile: 13.1 @ 109
Standing mile: N/A
Braking 60-0: N/A
Braking 70-0: 160 ft
Braking 80-0: N/A
Skidpad: .95g
Slalom: N/A
Top speed: 160 mph

The best reliable stock times posted for a Turbo Buick were...

86-87 GN 0-60 in 4.9 and the 1/4 in 13.9

87 GNX 0-60 in 4.5 and the 1/4 in 13.3

Those times were VERY respectable for a car that is almost 20 years old. I back my statements up with facts and proof (sources). You should try that some time.
