Between those two guys, we got the broadest range of MkIV lovers covered...for one, Shant has an even worse reputation on Supraforums than I do here, and N/A Performance you guys might know as the 14 year old guy a few years back that started his own online shop (www.nonturbo.com) and bought an N/A MkIV at only 15 or so
Either way, they were both right I'm sure
I think if we could get equal support from more actual owners of Evos/WRXs who know the car alot better than most of us, this thread would be 100% a complete success with valid argument for both sides. Someone pull someone from nabisco and some Evo forum...!

Before I start let me say I have love all 3 of these cars. But I have a few problems with what was said here.
Dude if youre going to "correct" the Supra's numbers cause C&D didnt drive the car to its potential then dont go quoting C&D numbers for the other 2 cars on the next line. If we're going to throw out the "Ive seen this car run this" numbers, I know of someone ON THIS BOARD that has run a 13.1 in an STi bone stock.
Agreed.
Then why go through all that stuff about how the Supra can handle this much power and the EVO/STi cant? I agree that it is difficult to compare the 3 cars, but dont compare the 3, declare the Supra the hands down winner, and then claim they should not be compared. I mean I could just as easily claim that since the Supra has no WRC titles under its belt, it is inferior to the other 2. But I dont.

Show me an 8-second car with 100K miles on that 8-second motor and then I'll believe it's "daily driven."

He's nearly a half second out of the 8s. Expense and effort increase exponentially with decreased ET. Good luck getting that 8 while putting 12K miles annually on that (or any) ride.
