8 second street tire supra
Just got news from the rest of my friends who were in Maryland 2 weeks ago. Posted a new best time of 8.65 with the top trap speed of the weekend at 170 mph in the 1/4 mile. Thats on bfg drag radials with full dash, full body, and non bored over motor.

This is how it gets done in Atlanta.

EExcept that while a BFG Drag Radial is a DOT approved tyre -it is NOT a n everyday all purpose street tyre.
So more accurately with highly specialized tyres that over-grown corrola hatchback pulled 8 seconds.

NO car comes stock with Drag Radials especially a rally car.
They have Ultra High performance tires but not Drag Radials.
Drag Radials: 
STi uses Bridgestone Potenzas RE070:

and there are supras out there that run in the 9s on normal street tires, which is awesome for a streetable car

well they have old school muscle cars that do the same thing with a full body and interior on "street" tires but yes it is a fast car.
MercedesChinck: Your friend does NOT have stock tires on his car Subaru doesn't use BFG's they use the Potenza RE070 that I showed above.
