All according to motortrend

Braking, 60-0
Supra 112ft
Evo 111ft
Sti 113ft

Slalom, avg mph
Supra 68.8mph
Evo 70.9mph
STi 69.7mph

1/4 mile
Supra 13.8@ 105mph
Evo 13.5@ 100mph
STi 13.3@ 1000mph

Handling, braking, and acceleration, the stock Supra is starting to show it's age. And it's curb weight is heavier than the other two as well.

wow....those numbers are COMPLETELY skewed and wrong...at least as far as the supra goes...

i have never seen a stock tt mk4 run less then a 13.6 at a track.... EVER...and ive seena TON of them...

and i sure as hell have never seen an evo or sti run those numbers stock...maybe around the 13.8s...definitley never seen or heard of an sti running 13.3 stock... but thats just ME.

also for breaking... i dont know about those numbers either...the mk4 brakes are god like...the only reason people with 1000hp+ upgrade their brakes is for cosmetic reasons....

ANYWAYS..... for the record...id take the supra(even a mk3 ) over either of those 4 door grocery getters.... and another for the record...the evo is ugly

I think you should open your eyes more and clean the wax out, I saw a bone stock sti run a 13.4 a couple of weeks ago. It just goes to preference, you like big heavy cars, and id rather have a 4door grocery getter....I like getting down and dirty, not being a highway beauty.

+1

To me that's the remarkable thing, the MKiV was designed in the early 90's almost 15 years ago. Toyota could still sell it today as a legitimate competitor to almost everything out there.

Thats also the case for the evo, since the evo4, there has been only really minor changes, in my eyes, theyre both pretty much equal as far as their capabilities.
