The Supra is underpowered??? It has more power than the skyline



By the way, I prefer the Supra because it has a RWD layout. I also like it's shape (Long hood with short tail).

im a very opinionated person and i really don't mean to offend people. u r right with my " unmeasurable hate of Toyota's and Honda's " though. the reason why? almost everybody buys them and because of the conservative styling. i like a car with a bit of style and aggressive design. for example: 2009 Mitsu Lancer Evo. its just my perception of these companies that i get from them like more fuel efficiency than a drivers car. i hope u understand what im trying to convey. a little shallow when it comes to cars. no hard feelings.

yeah everyone buys for looks i agree. fuel economy and reliability isn't a factor these days

i think fuel econ is important to most buyers, at least it was when fuel spiked last summer. and as far as reliability, i think perceived reliability is a key aspect. brands such as hyundai and kia are still fighting the negative impact of their poor reliability 15 years ago. despite the fact that they are close rivals for honda and toyota.

i do draw cars and my auto teacher asked me to draw 2 of his 8 cars he was NEVER going to sell so i did it and apparently he loved them. but if someone were to ask me to draw a Supra 4 them and they were a big fan of it, i would do it even though i can't stand Toyota and Honda.

The EDM Honda Civic isn't conservatively styled, and the Accord isn't bad either. And Hondas have always been quite interesting engineering wise.

okay, so I was interested in buying a rice-burner, searched for a comparison of the 2 models i preferred and came up with this, and to be honest the amount of I'll suck supra/skyline dick untill death or as some have affectionately posted "fan boy" crap is overwhelming. I just need to get this off my chest and as a word of warning, don't bother mentioning drag stats, engine codes/specs etc, if you have no idea about the engineering that goes on behind it, the amount of numbnuts that pull out the kilowatts and newton meters should be shot. next off anyone who uses drag stats for a skyline should be shot, since when was a AWD with super HICAS designed for drag racing? Let's face it, this thread shouldn't be about which car would win in a drag race, because again I could count the number of people that drag stock on one hand. Next thing is I don't even think the Supra was designed or marketed to be in direct competition with the skyline, It seems to contend moreso with the z series, and I'm pretty sure that's a fact. The point I'm trying to make, is that the Skyline gt-r is in a class of it's own, this car is designed for the race track and then dumped on the everyday road. The supra on the other hand deserves credit too, the lines on this car are amazing for 1993. It just looks amazing and comparing these too amazing machines is laike comparing apples to oranges, idiots may get specific but in the end it just comes down to taste.

anyway after that I'd like to say that out of the 2 I'd prefer a skyline, It's stealthy lines just look aggressive, (in the words of dave chappelle playing tyrone biggums GOD DAMN!!!!)

and yes at the risk of sounding like a complete idiot, i posted this on the wrong forum, so here, i posted it again... haha

Jajajajaja I agree ^

Skyline is BEST! ^_^

I agree with all the "wins"you just mentioned,plus the fact that Supras look sexier,and most importantly,they have the best straight six to ever grace the earth,the 2JZ.Just ask Titan Motorsports.

I find the Supra better for one reason, and one alone. Pricetag. Espacially as used car.

But why do You chose the '93 Supra. the second gen Supra got the strongest engine, whn it comes too tuning. Also having a way better chassi. The only thing third gen Supras have compared to the 2nd gen, is the stock numbers, and look. If You begin tuning, the 2nd gen have a way better potencial.
