I saw an ad in a magazine that said the fastest 1/4 time for a street legal car with street tires was a Mustang (looked like an 89 LX). The same ad posted the record for an import on street tires, a Supra, and as I recall it was a tenth slower than the Mustang's.

Mystery Train. I read the article in Hot Rod a couple of months ago. The story is about a Viper and they reference the Supra at the end. Here is the link.

BTW, I said IRS cars. There are some extremely quick mustangs running turbos and solid axles. I suspect, like you said, they can run faster than a 7.90 (Supra time).

Who said the Supra motor was made in Japan?
