Here's a few data points. I've heard that the Supra in question claims
400hp at the rear wheels. For those of you that think that the big,
powerful f-bodies can top or equal that, here are some dyno figures:
LT1 Z28 modded to limit of rules: 275-290hp max.
LS1 stock: 300 rwhp
LS1 modded to limit of rules: probably 330 max.
LT4 (John Ames' old car): 315rwhp (I saw it on the dyno myself)
If the Supra really makes 400 rwhp, it's in a whole 'nother universe of
power than the f-bodies.

Just as a point of fact for those who are unfamiliar with the capabilities
of the Supra in question:
~100hp+ gain (claiming 400hp at the wheels)
1998 Pro Solo ESP champion
Trophy in ESP with cones on both days (would have won Nationals if clean)
Protested and judged legal.
