I would think it has as much to do with the driver as it does the engine.

Ummm.. 14.2 @ 123???  Someone needs some tires, or a lesson on how to launch
a car.  If you don't think 123 MPH is  fast, you've not raced much.  The
'94-up Supras came in turbo and normally aspirated form.  The turbos are
very capable cars.  I've driven a *lightly* modded '96/automatic, and ridden
in a '94 6-speed.  The twin turbo 3.0 (inline-6) makes TONS of torque --
they are pretty much the opposite of your high-winding, no-torque Hondas
that typify the import scene.  I have a pretty stong 406 in my '70 and I'd
be very cautious about taking one heads up.  You must know the ways of the
enemy if you are to defeat them!  :-)

[Chevelle-List] Supra, was show and tell

[Robert Belz]

You are right, it probably was a Supra, I did over hear someone say that it
was twin turboed stock and had been breathed on from there. Ask me about
Chevelles, I have way more resources on them than the ricers.   (you guys
always beat me to the answers to most of the questions though :),   Slow
fingers I guess :(
