Whoever said it was a drag car, it is Far from that. It is full weight, interior, etc. He drives it a LOT. Marko has 4 cars, and still managed to put 5000 miles on his supra last year.

He runs a TH400 3speed with reverse manual valve body (he shifts it twice)

He ran the 8.4 on around ~1100ish

Last week marko went back and dynoed 1520whp through his UNLOCKED tc. You can guess, but 2000hp? I look forward to him hitting the track (and probably driving the car home from the track as well)

My logic doesn't have to make sense, it's my logic. Obviously your missing my point, albeit a small point and my point. It technically is a street car. Is it a practical street car? Not that it matters. I don't know why ya'll even care about what I said.

And that car is not setup for the street. It is a street car setup for the strip.

oh my god i actually agree with kremit for once ....that car is a street car set up for the strip.....while it can be driven on the street,it is more of a strip car...

those times aren't all that impressive to me for a "street car"...back in the early 90's when they had the big grand national vs. mustang shootouts,there were lots of "street" cars dipping into the 8's.....there was a duttweiler(sp.)tuned gn running 8's all day long,and it was "street"driveable...not to mention the other gn's and stangs in the 9's...and this was over ten years ago....


and btw a close friend of mine has a 95 mustang gt that runs 7.704 at 189.87 mph,and this car still has the STOCK SUSPENSION and DRAG RADIALS not even slicks....check out bb&t racing for details...
