Let alone it wasnt said what kind of car he has, but theoretically(?) if he is as good of a driver as he says he is, and got paired up with people who cant drive there cars very well, thaen it COULD happen.

I have spent my fair share of days and nights at the local drag strip, and i have seen some really bad drivers driving cars that could be fast if driven correctly. But on the flip side I have seen some really good drivers driving some slow cars.

Baisically, It COULD happen

I would summize they would still fix his radio door if it refused to shut completely.


Also, while the Supra can normally do the 1/4-mile (auto) in the high 13's, you have no idea the state of tuning that particular car had or if it has been cared for properly. Many cars are in various states of tuning and a poor driver or start could easily explain why the S2000 driver won those races.
It makes no sense to me to post what a car CAN do (unless the original poster is asking a question) in response to a thread where the initiator has clearly stated what it DID do.
Until they drive themselves, these cars are powered by the hands and feet of people who might actually be ill equipped for the task at hand. Such drivers are wonderful at negating magazine #'s tolled from an afternoon of effort by those who perform such tests for a living.

Russ - I agree with you completely, when you throw drivers into the equation while comparing cars, anything can happen. However, I was just trying to equate driver error/lack of skill with the fact that he beat those cars.
