My point was that a GN can have just as many problems hooking up as a Supra at the track, IRS or not.
Obviously, these are highly modified cars. Wouldn't it be common sense to think that you could put money into ANY type of suspension to make it "hook up" for drag racing?

dawgs are pigs.
i'm not choosing sides either, just pointing out strengths and weaknesses of each car.
they are both utterly bad ass in their own way.

there's one thing the gn has that a 1000hp supra does not, the ability too hook up.
that gn would destroy a supra in street race.

That GN is sweet, but I gotta side with Delobbo...the Supra is just about top dog on the highway. Top end is obscene. At the track, it's fun to watch someone beat a Supra off the line, cuz everyone there pretty well knows the Supra's just gonna reel his ass in before the quarter is up.
Although, no one is really badmouthing the GN here.

Bulldog your post reminded me of a run I had at Drag Wars in Great Lakes Dragaway (Wisconsin) back in '98... and I just so happen to have a link to the 2.5MB video..... which definitely lives up to how you described watching a Supra at the track..... This was in the semi-finals of the 13-second class (it was ok to break out by a tenth of a second, for some reason, don't know why...) I made it to the finals after this, and lost to a stinkin' AUTO Supra... I had only had the car for a few months, and was still workin on the shifting skills (first manual tranny car)... so the auto would pull ahead of me slightly each time I shifted....... dahhhh..... probably affected my trap speeds somewhat also, only ran a 111 in the vid. Since then, with 100 octane, I have got as high as 116 with just the basic mods...

On another note, this video is up at my new web hosting place. Supposedly it has an insane possible transfer rate, if some of you who download this could post what speeds you were getting, either PM me or post a reply.... that would be cool. Unfortunately I am only getting a transmission speed of 500-1200 kb/s here, according to THIS bandwidth test page - so I can't really see how fast this connection goes..... I appreciate any help you can provide. I already moved most of my delobbo.com site there... thanks in advance..... hmm actually I just got 140-160 kb/s downloading from there..... not bad. (this rate is not the same as the transmission speed I mentioned above, this is like the download speed...)
ps. incidentally, in case anyone's looking for web hosting solutions, it's only $20/month for 1GB of space, unlimited email and accounts, lots of other stuff (forum, PERL, FTP, pretty much everything you would need) - 500MB is $15 a month...

I might be goin' to the track this week with my buddy who has the Red '97.
Don't know precisely how fast the vid loaded, but it was pretty damn quick. It's about 07:00am, EDT.

there's other 1000+ rwhp Supra dyno vids out there, but I could not find those quickly on google......

here is a good page on GNX....... it ran 13.4 @ 104 bone stock...... just amazing for 1987...... a brand new 2003 EVO runs pretty much that time, only 16 years later!
