There is a RWD Solara custom built running 8s in the 1/4 mile
And the Q45 has had 340hp (more like 200) since 2002.

OK everyone has been talking about wht the 2006 M45 has 335 hp instead of 340 hp like the Q45. Today I finally got the answer.
It turns out that by dropping the horsepower 5 horsepower they were able to gain additional torque and still meet EPA specs. The reason for doing this was that the 0-60 mph time was much improved. They won't release the numbers but I understand that they are impresive and will be released at the Detroit Autoshow.

Actually, I seem to remember that the Japanese market Supra used to have some feature on it that would actually limit the amount of gas going in (from a start) so you would accelerate faster (torque went up when you limited the gas - or something like that!). I would imagine that changing a cars HP/Torque curve would do more for acceleration than adding 5 more hp.
