Message First off, remember that our Z is not meant to be a drag queen. We have more class than that. =)

But consider these aspects:

LOOKS: Your car looks way better than a Supra. The Supra has VERY bland interior, looks like an elongated Prelude from the outside, and is far too hyped and far too expensive...
Our car is refined, the paramount of style, and has the power and capability to match.

PERFORMANCE: You need to play with boost. Boost is the single most amazing mod you will ever do. Depending on the engine, each psi of boost can yield 10-20hp.
Some people say my Z is a bit above the norm with power but: Ive raced everything on the street and killed ALL of it with some simple cost effective mods. And Id bet you could do the same if you took a similar route.
Try gettign yourself a boost controller. 5 extra psi will make you feel like your in a TOTALLY different world...Try a lightened flywheel and underdrive pulley.
Check my mods on my member page, and then check my dyno charts on my home page.
Also remember, dragging isnt all theer is. ANd if you want to impress people on the strip...Get a nice big pair of drag radials and a turbo upgrade.
How much moeny will it take to get in the low 12s? Who knows...Our cars arent cheap to mod, thats for sure...But with a set of Sport 500s, MBC, injectors, etc you should be able to get into the 12s...It realyl depends on how good fo condition yrou engine is in.

PRESTIGE: Our cars are not what you find in a 5 and dime store...Theyre high class machines. You dont just have a car. You have a race car, detuned for the street. Take it to some road-racing tracks. See what people say to you. Notice hwo well ti performs. I get people taking pics of my car, asking me what kind of car it is. Everyone knows what a Supra is...We have an added level of prestige...Or so I think =)

So try some extra boost...Try some new things. Im pretty sure youll notice results in a positive way. =)

Hope this helps some....
Josh
