There is NO WAY my 537 whp is going to get my car close to the tens in my ride. I'm going tomorrow for a final time, but my goal is to nip the 11.6's.
It would take a VERY built and high stall speed torque converter, or an aggressive 6spd launch to get into the 1.6-1.5 60' times this would require. (I'm hovering around 1.85").
Don't see this happening in one year, but I'm ever hopeful. 
Yes, 2wd can do it. See below. Also all out drag slicks, and not street drags.
As an irrelevant teaser, here's the World's Quickest Supra with Independent Rear Suspension:

I'm going tomorrow to Atco. Who's in?

You are right about the auto trans setup... I didnt really mention that it will take quite a build in the trans to launch the auto that hard... I think that a built 7AT will do the job better than the 6MT... but I guess that I wasnt considering how few of people will actually take a 7AT trans build that far.. so perhaps the auto trans in the 10s will be fewer than I was thinking in my last post
