Lets not forget that the fastest quartermile on record for an IRS car is a Supra - somehwere in the 7's. Not a Cobra, not a Viper, but a Japanese made Supra.
Curt,

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.

Cobrabill,

Must have been some big boost in that 240.

You said that the motor in the Supra wasn't Japanese. Were you refering to the Supra in the video clip that beat the cobra, or to the Supra with the 1/4 mile time Curt was referencing? And out of curiousity, what kind of engine was it?
