Skyline Vs Supra, which is King? (poll)
A stock Supra is a turd in terms of performance we are used to. Mine makes over 1300rwhp and I can drive it just about anywhere on the street without issue. Now on to the topic question......The Supra, in opinion, unquestionably looks better than the Skyline....comparing the last gen R34 with the MK4. Now that said, there is no denying how bad *** the awd aspect of the Skyline is. I'd own one myself if they ever made anything OTHER than RHD which is just too odd for me. I don't even think it would be a question if Toyota had made the Supra in awd, but alas, they never did. I suppose it just depends on your taste and what you really want. Frankly, I love both but pressed to pick just one, I go MK4.
Now adding one thing to this discussion, the MK4 is the ONLY Supra that even counts as a Supra in my opinion. The earlier Supras....pre 93....can't even be included in a discussion with any Skyline. The Nissan was a MASSIVELY better car on all levels until 93.

The R32 and R33 skyline are bad A.S.S car!! the MK2 and MK3 supra just
. I don't like the 7M GTE and 1JZ.

Skyline cause I like AWD and I think the AWS is a great concept though I've never driven a car that had it. the New (R35) skyline comes stock with 160 more horsepower than the top of the line supra came with and while the supra may have a few more easier tuning options it takes a good amount of tuning just to bring it up to the same level as the skyline. Not to mention the skylines 0-60 blows the doors off the supra. If your comparing stock to stock its like comparing a ford focus to a ferarri the difference is HUGE not even the same league. However if you have endless tuning money to dump into them then its just a matter of who's mechanic is better and has the better tools deepest pockets and most desire to really push the limits.

I think the Supra has showed that it is superior in the power department. And btw its stupid to compare the R35 to a mkiv Supra
Stock 2JZ vs Stock RB26 motor = 2JZ wins it has showed that it can be reliable at 800+whp stock. Record is 1017 whp with a stock 2JZ-GTE bottom end
Some facts about what Supra's have achieved
A Supra holds the record for street cars in the standing mile , 241.8 mph (btw stock gearbox, stock axles, stock rear/TRD LSD)

A Supra holds the record for 6spd IRS cars 7.91@189 mph (btw stock gearbox, stock axles, stock rear/TRD LSD)

Fastest auto IRS Supra is the Titan Motorsports Supra 7.71@185 mph

A street Supra has been dynoed 1622 rwhp SAE, and there are a couple that have dynoed over 1500 whp with a stock 6spd gearbox

The most i´ve seen a 2JZ-GTE engine dyno was 2041 hp on an engine dyno / Gas Motorsports

Vinny Ten outlaw supra 7.30@191 mph
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnX1IS2-yN8
The Titan Scion went 6.40@220 mph with a 2JZ motor in 2005
And they are now competing with a Scion which is using a 2JZ motor in the ADRL 10.5 Extreme and have gone 4.09@175mph in the 1/8 mile
And for the people that say a stock Supra cant handle, here is a old Best motoring battle MR2 GTS, RX-7 Type RZ , Supra RZ, R33 GTR V-Spec, NSX, 993 Carrera and NSX-Targa

yea but according to fast and furious it goes skyline>supra>ferrari. lol. man what a horrid movie. there is no real answer to your question. this has been an arguement for ages. each are great cars. r34<>mk4....... evo>sti. :P
supras do one thing well. and even at its absolute best in the one thing it does well, fox body mustangs still have it covered. sorry, but this can't be a serious comparison (at least for anyone that is into motorsports).
