Toyota owes us a 10-second car with its GR Supra SEMA build

Toyota plans to bring a pair of GR Supras built for drag racing to the 2022 SEMA Show. The hitch, however, is that each one must be a "10-second car." Further complicating the builds is the fact that the budget for each Supra is just $10,000, a trifling sum for the typical SEMA build.

Now, if the title of "10-second car" is a reference to one of the most memorable scenes from the "Fast & Furious" franchise, Toyota hasn't said. In the climax of the first movie — now over 20 years old, get off our lawn — Paul Walker's undercover cop character gives Vin Diesel's street racing anti-hero his 1994 Toyota Supra so the latter can escape the law after his Dodge Charger is destroyed. "I owe you a 10-second car," he says as he hands over the keys, referencing a bet made at the start of the movie.
