Is that A/C Cobra replica still Nhra legal? What happened to it?

And don't forget, this toyata stocker could run on the same track without any sfi safety equipment as long as it doesn't go faster than 10.0 et at 154mph... The second you put a Stock designation on it NHRA THROWS THE SAFETY RULE BOOK AT YOU. CAGE, BELTS, SFI BELL HOUSING. What a joke.

M/SA , 13.07 index at Vegas...Roll bar , two year belts, SFI jacket , pants..
Nice job NHRA...That's how you get young people into Stock E

(Question for Bobby to ask)

Mark,

The Toyota Supra is based on the BMW Z4 platform.

It is basically, a BMW Z4 with the Toyota Supra sheet metal.
The engine is the inline BMW 3.0 6-cylinder B58 platform.

The chassis and driveline is BMW, and the transmission is a General Motors 5L50, also used in the late model Cadillacs.

It should be called the Z4-Yota...

Joe ,this is beginning to sound like a Shifty Schiff hearing. Am I going to have to call my lawyer in on this one?
This doesn't look like a THM 400 bolt pattern to me >

Hence my original question..
I see so much smoke , I can't even see the mirrors LOL

Why don't you tune in on Tuesday and pitch that question? I would personally rather help Bobby get some ratings than beat it to death on here.

And the answer to your production numbers is between 2,500 and 7,500 (approx.) each year since 2020.

Good idea. I thought about that but I'm in a shaky internet area right now.
I wanted to throw a few out in advance, here. Someone else might have to pick up on them next week.

Meanwhile, I'd love to see one of your GTOs as a Stocker..You know...see how good you really are LOL

They didn't make 500 Thunderbolts and they are running in Stock?
