WOW! auto huh? I'll tell you what, I'll just say this, everyone has different opinions and have different point of views, BUT, have some pride in yourself man and tell him your car is better! He'll probably take you out on a drag race, but you said both your cars are stock. I say the only real way to find who is faster if thats what you ment is to have an actual race! Let know how that goes, we'll be waiting.

The reason I said that is because you might have a chance if something is wrong with his car but you can atleast say you guys went at it. I think your car looks better if that helps you out some.

well supras are heavier by far and they are notorious for blown headgaskets.
There's a chance u can beat him if he sticks w. the stock engine..but once he drops a 2JZ in there...or even a 1jz..that's a whole new ballpark.

Well, 240 might take him off the line. But if your going on the highway I think he'll easily pull away.

Some Supra's came with a stock turbo, did they not? If so, then you loose.

But remember .. RUBBIN'S RACIN' !! ... J/k don't throw him into the woods lol.

well...their both pretty similar...in a way...its wierd...but their both great cars...but im biased here...

and btw the supra has a 7m-GTE 6 cyl if its turboed...and if its NA...im guessing it has the same basic 7M..

MMMM, supras, main diffrences IMO

Weight, 240s clock in around 2700, supras around 3648

The supra turbo is the 7mGTE and cost about $1,000+ and puts out 232HP and 254 TRQ.

The 7mgte is a 3.0 L

Supras dont have really good headgaskests, but other than that there pretty solid

My guess if its a turbo it will probably take you, but, at the same time, if you had a sr20det it might be close do to about 900lbs, which is aporx .4 1/4 sec.

Good thing about supras, is with a inkae, full exhaust (test pipe) and a boost controller putting 11 psi it puts out about 300hp.

I was looking for one for some time, but.....i dotn know what i want anymore lol

I dont care what the car looks like, it whats under the hood that matters!

http://www.supras.co.uk/resources/Mk...ecs/engine.htm

according to this NA form
200 @ 6,000 rpm
188 @ 3,600 rpm

I think hell take you, cause, the ka24de puts out 155, he has 45 more hp, and his trq number is really ridiculous -28 more tq

Weight will make a diffrence, but that much i dont think so, like i said in theory .4 seconds in the 1/4.

You guys should go down to the track one day, race, and put up the specs, that would be cool
