Let's see your Nippon "wundercars" do that totally PURE STOCK, even on the better, stickier tires they came with.
Funny how it will still outhandle most of your stuff as well, EVEN with the crappy tires it came with.

So much for American "inferiority", huh?
So much for American "inferiority", huh? Supras are far from rice, and when driven correctly are just as lethal as any other RWD car. if I remember correclt Ryan Woon is in the 7's 180+ with his 6sp Supra....
If it's still going down Ryan and the Underground Racing Viper are suppose to race for the Fastest 6sp Record.

I just could not bring myself to buy a Toyota, NO MATTER HOW FAST. Just as I could not worship them as everyone else and their great grand auntie seem compelled to do. There are just too many other cars out there I would rather own, some just as fast, if not faster.
Now before all of you importfanboyzz get on here and say you could never bring yourselves to buy "just a Chevy", remember a C6 Z06 IS A CHEVY. It's also one of the rides I would take before even an 8 second Supra.
No Inport fan boy here.....In all honesty is supras weren't so damn overpriced i would pick one up.... i've owned c5's, f-body's, and imports, i see them all the same.... expensive toys.........
I wouldn't buy a 8 sec supra or New c6z..... the real "golden egg" for a supra would be to fin a stock low mile 6sp tt, keep it for a few years and sell it for 60k, lol as far as vettes go it would be to find a one of 15 Aztec Gold corvettes or the 1 Convertible 6sp made or a Clean 01 Z06, only cars that will be worth money.
Supras seem to be the only modern car that gets more expensive with age.

Yea..Dont a 98 Viper and a 98 supra both go for around low 40's..
Even though the 98 Viper cost 75 grand and the 98 supra cost 45 grand..?
Vipers are holding their value very well. Supras are holding their value INSANELY well..
It is kinda funny how no one wanted them back then. But now their very sought after. Kinda like a fine wine. They get better with age..
IM REALLY HOPEING THE GEN 2 VIPERS ARE GONNA DO THE SAME THING SINCE THEIR BODY STLYE IS WHAT MANY CONSIDER THE TRUE VIPER..LAST I HERD THEY HAD WENT UP IN VALUE A LIL IN THE PAST 2 YEARS...
Time will tell though

Heh, guess who won...?
An rx-7 has kept its value if not raised it since its release in late 92, the 1.3Rotary Motors albeit unreliable, are insanely fast when built right and in my opinion Better Looking and Faster than a supra...
