I don't understand... a drag only STI vs a street legal Supra? Both are running pretty nicely - the STI even trapped higher than the Supra.

nice to see a flat-4 take out a Supra. however, i bet that STi is tuned almost to the max, where the Supra has a lot left in it.

I doubt that they brought the supra to the track without having it tuned to the best of their ability. Sometimes you just run up against something faster, as Joe has already stated. I wouldn't be ashamed of a 9 second supra though..........hell I'm proud of my 16 second supra..............:biglaugh:

Yeah... Im not sure on the specs of either one as far as if they both have full interiors or if they were both drag only cars and so on. I know the Supra is capable of far more power than a 2.5 liter 4 cylinder turbocharged STi... they were both 9 second cars. Could have been a drivers race. It did seem like the supras driver was a bit slow off the line and also AWD vs RWD Mk4 (traction issues). Good race all in all!
