I don't expect a definitive answer to this, but would just like to spark some discussion of the merits/disadvantages of the alltrac as a drag car. Do you think the lighter weight and less drivetrain loss of the mr2 trumps the traction advantage of the alltrac? What is the best way to set up an alltrac for drags in order to emphasize it's strengths?

CT20b record is 11.852

For St185's stock CT-26 record seems to be Conny Ruuth's at 13.692. Disturbingly, John Stokes' JDM-swapped half-trac is actually the fastest St18x on the stock turbo (assuming it's not a gen 3 swap). Yes, that's right, a half-trac actually holds the stock CT-26 record at 13.512.
Les Koncyzk has the Ct20b record with his 205-swapped ST185 at 12.906.

So the question is, are we doomed to always be 1 second behind our two-seater brethren? Or have we yet to hit our potential?
