while this is fun and all, I will just respond to a few of the very glaring errors in your post.
Even still I asked you Mr speed reader do you know why a Supra runs a sequential turbo set up on it's inline motor? I must have over looked your answer or are you still looking for it through all your reading?
Yes, so the car is more responsive, I said this before. If a single turbo was the best way to make a responsive car, (as you claim) then Toyota would have done that originally(my claim). The fact is people "upgrade" their supras to a single turbo to get better top end not to improve repsonsiveness.
Without getting to technical here the inline is balanced thus can rev higher. If you can rev 30% more, say 10000rpm vs 7000rpm, that's 30% more hp because it's proportional to the flow and yeah and a big single is more efficient than 2 medium sized turbo's. Accounting and inline uses all 3.0 liters of displacement to support the turbo, wise 1.5 liters for the smaller twins.
This is what you always do, the topic is responsiveness (how quickly a motor can start putting out power) and so you go on to talk about redlines. The two are not the same thing - in fact that are at opposite ends of the equation. We are talking about repsonsiveness and where you say an inline motor is inherently more responsive - its not more or less responsive. I don't believe the configuration of the motor has much to do with responsiveness, but it is easier to but a larger turbo on an inline motor and they have the abilty to rev higher (combined those make it a better choice for a drag car) - those I won't arge. Its just your responsive comment that I don't believe to be true.
It's not that I'm going to miss anything, trust me. You try being here for 6+ years and tell me then that you haven't seen just about all there is to know about the cars. All that's left is people's cars to look at, new run times and some new idea's of small mods, for sale ad's, events, etc.
Right. Nothing new happens here. No newer better products, no one does anything to make thier cars faster. Yep, nothing to see here.

The second you think you know it all is the second you know less. I hope I never even start to think that, and if I ever did I would hope some younger person would step up and make a fool out of me to show me the error of my ways.
Be glad you join'd that forum now and not back in the day. You would have been eaten alive for asking such a dumb question like that.
I assume you are talking abou the supraforums post?
Everyone tried to be helpful, and its a good question - whats your problem? You were the only person who didn't seem to "get it" (a common theme with you).
You say false with your 2.5 years here and read every post ( lol, had to throw that in ). Ok, think about it for a second, your stating ZO's car and Greg's 240 ( I take it ) maybe his Z32 that was originally another former member's car on here that up a left. Know who that was? Damn, you've read every post, course you did. Anyway how much power is either car putting down? Well, by reading every post on here you'd know this answer too. Now, take their power and compare it to where Joel is going, say 1000rwhp. Ok, knowing most Supra's running this kinda power ( which for an auto is 850rwhp ) they'll run a 325 slick, some a 315 slick. They still can spin, but for the most part, it hooks. Ok, show me one post where someone has put a set of 315's on a Regular framed Z32. Just one. Since you've read every post, this should be an easy one for you.
I'm really getting tired of this by now. Yes, I read every post. If I can't get online for a few days(common) I go back and read everything I missed. I am not a speed reader and it takes significant portion of my time. I really don't know how much power Zo and Gregs Z32 put out (I think its in the 6XX range but not sure). I know they both run a 10.X 1/4 mile. (Yes, greg's Z32 -not his just his 240- is deep into the tens. He is using the new 4:10 leadergears - wait a minute, nothing new happens here.) If you ask those guys where their bottleneck is (and these guys know their stuff) they won't tell you its a lack of a wide body Z32 (as you claim).
Oh, not that I recommend it - but since you asked:
a post with 315's on a stock body Z32 just for you!
-nothing new happens here.
As far as handling. I would be willing to bet $1000 that I could take your car on a track as the cars sit right now. If you think you know so much, then this should be yet another easy answer from you. This car is built for it and it can take corners at near twice the posted speed. The cars is lowered to the point that the front 275 tires are up under the fenders. As I'm sure you've seen in pictures because you've read every post. You know it has Tein Coilovers on all fours. I'm not saying your car is bad by no means here. Just answering your well knowledge reply. Plus I love the Z more than any other car and the fact that mine has a lot more done to it than yours, tells me that you'll get whooped and bad.
Wow. Ok...well my huffy would beat my car right now since its in the middle of a major build right now and has no engine in it. Yes, everyone else that actually reads this forum knows that since I posted a massive write up about it that has about 1000 hits. You obviously don't know, its understandable since you seem to spend all your time at supraforums (I guess thats where all the new stuff is happening).
So, you have your car lowered more than mine, wow! 275's in the rear - WOW! I hope your car stops as fast as you claim it turns...I don't know what else to say here as telling you my car is much better than your is seems a bit childish. I guess if you hadn't been racing your car for 20 years I would take you up on the thousand dollar challenge (if my car had an engine in it right now). But with 20 years of expirence you could probably beat me no matter how fast my Z was since you should be a much better driver than me as you were racing when I was 5 years old. I run in the beginner and intermediate sessions as of now but hope to advace to to intermediate/advanced this summer. I am most defintly the bottleneck - not the car. But, even with all that said, once my car is back together, I would still have a hard time turing down a challenge like that from you. So, keep that in mind mr. big shot, I should have my car ready this summer and plan to tear it up at tracks all around the midwest. If you need help reading my profile send me an email. I know some things in there might not make sense to you. Nothing new happens here.
You've seen it all.
