Well they couldve picked the AWD eclipse/laser and that wouldve been a lot better bang for the buck.
totally overlooked to not see, I seen they had the rs turbo and didnt notice the GSX

it's in the test...
but most of the cars that SHOULD have performed had GARBAGE tires on them completely throwing all the tests results out of the window IMHO...

An instructor of mine has one, it goes 11.65 and he didn't want to put a cage in it to go faster and ruin the mint interior so his new project is a GTA while the Pace Car keeps it's mileage down.
it wasn't stock 
full HKS everything...
still love that article though, as it didn't win, but it still opened their eyes...
I remember car craft making fun of ricers with a disclaimer that it wasn't aimed at all the import cars, as they had had their asses handed to them by enouhg modified Supras and RX-7's to know they're more than capable

Its been so long since I read that I forgot about the line where it says it had HKS boltons. I'd probably agree with him on the seats I love the stocks seats myself.
he was on 17" and setup for what a supra does best, HANDLE
syclone was inexcusable... you stand on the brake, hit the gas, brake boost the fuck out of it and it will launch like a rocket out of the hole...

thats such a cool old article, but the most upsetting thing for me besides the slow supra numbers, is that fact that a ford probe beat the supra in a couple categories...i hate probes
nope, look at a WRX
that much power, and it has the gearing to do it. They LOVE quarter miles and I've seen em fly, I'm thinking the replacement torque converter is to blame...
Supra's excuse is easy, they smoked the tires. Smoking street tires = shit traction.

first gens are when pushed really hard...
weight is in the back, so it naturally wants to come around and go ass first into the nearest dutch, pole, ect... (just like porsches)

really easy to oversteer in those cars, like poodles said. the weight is in the back so you'll get into oversteer and the steering will just snap hard left or right.
Edit - or thats atleast what i found out when i drove my friends' AW11
the upside is the manual steering gives great feedback, so it's not too bad from what I understand...
