91LX2Bfast, I understand IRS cars are harder to launch(I own one), but that doesn't mean that it can't be done...there are a lot of Supras running 9's and 10's with the IRS with the stock diff. What it comes down to, is what typeR said....most people can't drive their car to it's potential. Now I understand that not everyone is going to reach the full potential of their vehicle, but a 14.4 et with a 119mph trap speed is just plain stupid. There were a couple of older Camaro's, an old Mustang, and a Chevelle that all ran 10's with 12X trap speeds. Sure those were pretty much full drag cars with drag suspension, but he still should have been at least in the high 12's. High 12's would be below the full potential of the car, but more acceptable than a damn mid 14!!!!
