[QUOTE="Quin, post: 504464, member: 11023"] Have you ever BEEN in a 700rwhp car? Unless you're running HUGE tires (as in, tubbed) you're really not getting traction below 60. The biggest tire you can squeeze in an IRS Supra (86.5-92, not sure on the 93-98) is a 315, even with a drag radial you're not gonna hook with that. Look at it from a Supra owners stand point. It's pointless to race from a dig because by the time you hook the other car shut down thinking it kicked your ass when you were just getting started. Huge turbos that lag then come on like a freight train don't help either... Think about rolling around on pony wheels with your average all-terrains in a car with 4.10s and H/C/I/E. Roll along in first gear at about 3k and mash the gas. Welcome to first second third and sometimes fourth gear in a Supra. lol It's not that they're built to race from a roll, they make so much power that racing from a dig becomes a huge waste of time. If everyone rolled around on Welds with slicks out back, maybe. On 17-18in rims with low pros? Hell no. [/QUOTE]
