supra's are heavier and the gearing is different. hp doesn't always determine who is faster.

oh yea, and I bought my Z with the unbeatable package...

I know that HP doesnt always matter. And the supra weights about 200 pounds more then a Z. Nice kill tho, just seemed like with almost 500rwhp the supra should of been faster.

It did pull hard. extremely hard. When I hit 4th, he would start to inch back, then 5th would stop him him from gaining. He just couldn't pull enough to eliminate what I did in the begining 3 gears.

yea, with my old tire setup, crappy tires, I pulled a 12.77 @ 117 on low boost and a 13.18 @ 121 on high. Spun all the way through 4th. Not from punching it, but breaking them loose at the end of every gear.

Got my new tires and pulled a 11.89 @ 120. afraid to get slicks though. not sure what my rear end can take.

There is a company that makes stronger axles for our car. Forget the name of them, but I know they are out there. Ive heard with stock axles it is best to go with drag radials and not slicks. But im not possitive....
