Fook thats a launch.

Dont think any cossie off this board could keep anywhere near that?
To put it in perspective a Bugatti Veryon only just hits a high 10 or low 11 second quarter I believe.

Theres a few very quick cossies running in 10s, but thats a mile away in drag terms

at the end of the day most our cossies are street cars..and to be fair that supra has been designd for drag races only..if someone had the time and money to make a cossie into a 100% drag car then i would guess there cars wouldnt be far of that time..it all depends what you want the car for and how deep your pockets are

Would it really be a reliable road car though? I dont think so somehow. Would be sooooo much fun blasting around in that thing though.
