That aside, my personal problem with Supras is traction. They can sit at 1200+ RWHP and still run 12s. There are videos of Supras having traction issues from 60 rolls. If you ask me, Id rather have a 600-700 RWHP Mustang and roll out on Supras all day from digs and anything under highway speed rolls.
+1 last month on 580 this supra was racing this sti was almost gettin sideways on 5.!! i was like WTF?!?!?!

There's a reason that Supras are still going for 30+ thousand dollars while even terminators are dropping in value. They are incredibly easy to pull power out of (I've been around a supra that makes 600+ rwhp on a conservative tune, then over 1100rwhp on its kill tune. How many people do you know with mustangs that put over 1000 to the wheels and are still daily driveable? They're out there, but it's not exactly a common sight imho.) Supras just have an awesome presence. Look at it this way, what kill story (at the track, silly gooses) would you be more proud of and eager to share, "I killed a mustang" or "I raped a turbo Supra." Just sayin'.

That being said, I would prefer a terminator to a Supra because well built Mustangs are the cars that make my heart race, palms get sweaty, and pants get tight. As much as I love the exhaust note of a screaming turbo inline 6 (2jz-gte or rb26 = boner), at the end of the day I love the sound of my prochamber/flowmaster mustang gt too much to ever wish for anything else.
dam that was a speech. lol and yea you can get a supra to hook up.... but big $$$



and did someone say supra from hell???

Sorry Rev, I agree completely. It sounded to me like the comparison was 2v4.6 to 2JZ-GTE (I've been studying for my neuroscience exam all night, so my brain is pretty much fried). A 7M-GTE seems like it would match up well with a pi 4.6, provided it doesn't blow a head gasket

Yeah, I tend to type a lot when I'm tired and fried from studying lol. In the last week I've completed a 13 page paper on how FMR1 and mGluR5 play a role in the etiology of Fragile X Syndrome, and a five page paper on how to perform stereotaxic surgery on a lab rat, so I guess I'm just in the habit of writing a lot right now haha.

Big money to hook up, perhaps, buuuuut it's better than getting raped out of the hole by cars with a quarter of your power, right? Supras that can launch are just terrifying.
