I agree with IBAD89 on this one. Of course the IRS is not as IDEAL for drag racing (as evidenced by the new cobras vs GTs) but I personally have never heard even one Supra driver be particularly vexed by the the IRS on their car and I'm from a very ricey area lol

I'd personally have a TT Supra over a Mustang any day of the week, but the $$$ isn't there

Have you ever driven a TT Supra at the track Unit? And 1BAD89, have you seen those showcars actually run 12s, and know for a fact that its DUE to the extra bs inside?

I think we are ALL debating things that are mostly speculation...not that we have actually experienced...which is cool, but can't be taken as gospel.

However, without starting a fight, I do think 1BAD89 has a point...its really hard to talk about track times unless you've actually run the car...reminds me when we ran the 6 cylinder...the decent amount of torque makes it feel like a high 15 second car...imagine my embarassment when we couldn't urge that piddly 3.8L past 17.04!!!!!
