Yeah Supra will win, top end. It comes down to 6 cylinder vs. 4 cylinder...do the math. That is the reason why you will never see a 4 cylinder go as fast as a Top Fuel car. Even if a 4 cylinder runs 4 second quarters, the V8's will be running 2's. I am an advocate of 4 cylinder performance, but you have to give credit where credit is due.

yeh that s what my dealer told me about the evo when 2f2f came out, u know what i told him? to go suck a big one
The price went higher because they became very hard to get, not because of the movie. people that by them usualy keep them, and since they are rare they can ask whatever price they want. it s like the integra type r, stock ITR go for $17000 no matter the milage since they are so rare. Don t beleive what dealers tell you, i found out for myself that they dont know much about "special" cars.

Evo will get owned on the highway unless youre several steps ahead of your friend in mods. Supras are fast from a roll.

But, there are other cars that could put up a fighting chance for less money than a supra. RX-7's get pretty quick, and you can get one for about half the price of a supra. You can make a used C5 corvette pretty darn fast. 5k in mods for that car will get you 550 whp or so. The '03/'04 cobras are turning out to be the american version of the supra...they put out sick hp and are darn near unbreakable. Cheap to mod too.

Supras are fast but they are not the end-all-be-all of cars.

You can make any car faster than any other car with enough money, time, and knowledge. Period.
