well well well you can t go anywhere without this question popping up. given all things equal in a 1/4 mile race the cars are equal. think about it. the skyline is normally a rwd til the car detects slip then it begins the give just enough power to the front tires so that the rear tires grip. so if both cars have slicks on, the skylines awd would be more of a downfall than a benefit. the drivetrain after the first 20ft will just be a drag on the motor. diminishing hp and tq by just a lil bit. but the supra has no such loss. so it actually would produce slightly more power pushng it faster to make up for the loss off the line. this is why 1000+hp supras and skylines run damn near the same ET's. this is also the reason that the supra has a better top end. along with slightly longer gears the engine doesnt have anything holding it back. once the skyline is off the line the awd factor is useless.
