A factory Supra does not do 0-60mph in 4.6s.

Probably would chose the Mitsu 3000-GT 1999. The latest Supra TT was designed in 1997, which can say some facts about the technology they could be using extra in the Mitsu compared to the Supra (Mitsu could be more advanced...).
Plus, the Mitsu is AWD, that's more control. It also has extra 100kg, but i prefer the slip control part.

Both are known to respond pretty well to FI, so there's no advantage for any of these in this section.

the way i would approach this argument is strictly guns vs. butter. butter consumes money, guns get you back money. i will try to keep my bias out of this argument (mainly supras cant hook and 3000gt's are pigs, oops cant keep it out). back to guns vs/ butter. simple: around me every last generation supra in good condition is being sold for what it was bought for or more, where as the 3000gts are depreciating in value. guns = supra, butter = 3000gt.

But this means that the Supra is more popular than the 3000gt ; what would have happened, let's say, if the 3000gt was the superstar in "The Fast and the Furious". It's popularity would have grown up...

I know, the example with the movie isn't a good one. But, nonetheless, I believe the 3000gt benefits of a non-worthy lack of popularity.

U know, the Dodge Stealth Turbo r/t is the american equivalent of the 3000gt ; how many people heard of this car?

I never said factory supra I said twin-turbo supra its a difference,

Well, I looked at this http://www.fast-autos.net/toyota/97toyotasupra.html and I suppose this is built in factory too, it didn't fell out of the sky. Well, to translate, I ment a non modified one. Comprende?

And a big part of " The Fast and the Furious " is played by the Supra TT ; other cars play a minor role. I didn't write anything about "2 Fast 2 Furious" (that's another story).

So, I stand my point: the 3000gt lacks of popularity.

There are many different cars in the fast and the furious
theres the eclipse the rx7 thehonda civic etc. the toyota supra isn't
the only car.

Whatever... this was my last post in this thread.

woah simmer down with the arguing.

who cares which car is more popular. around me everyone who knows what a supra is knows what a vr-4/stealth rt is they are equally popular just supras are sooo much harder to find since they can be made more powerful more efficiently...i dont want to get into this argument at all but notice i said more powerful not quicker.

i still stand by my previous statement though. a completely stock twin turbo last generation manual supra with low miles and good condition will sell for more than it was bought for. the 3000gt will not just because of popularity in the general people but because of the preference of enthusiasts.

o yea and as far as the fast and furious goes. they are all strickly stunner. not real performers.

Ummmm this is a hard one.
I wouldn't mind having a Supra TT but i already have a drag 3000GT VR-4.
So i guess i'd choose the GTO VR-4 but i'd like a Supra TT
The Supra TT can handle a lil more power than the GTO VR-4 but they both can go over 1,000hp and still reliable.

Being AWD i'd assume the GTO VR-4 could handle all the hp along with being a lil better on the track.

The toss is in the air on this one though i'd hafta say GTO VR-4 jus becuz i have one.
Only reason for my choice, it's to hard to choose otherwise.
