Supra or Bmw?

Ok I am not a genius by any means but let me try and break it down for you.

First off, yes from the factory the BMW does put down better numbers. But look at what your comparing. You are comparing a modern age technologically advanced vehicle to a 10yr old vehicle with inregards to todays technology is primitive. I mean for example take a look at the new 06 IS350 that car stock with a v6 3.5l(i think) puts out more horse stock then my dads 05 Mustang GT (which is a V8) stock. And thats just 1 years of difference in technology. Imagine what 10years will do.

Second of all, why would you want a $55,000 car with the maintenance bill of a Ferrari when you can have a car where mechanics and parts are virtually plentiful and cheap for the most part? Also you are gauranteed the reliability and strength because its a toyota whereas BMW's when they become 10years old they are nothing but headaches.

Thirdly, lets do a fair comparison. Now in 97 the BMW 5series which still runs for almost 21grand has a 4.4l v8 that puts out about 282hp. Now lets move on to the 97 M3 which puts out 240hp with a I6. You can see with a fair equivelance of cars the Supra basically decimates any BWM that came out that year.

Now lets move onto mods. I can gaurantee you and I can put money on this that with less money that I can make any turboed supra waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy faster than any BMW. Let me just paint a picture for you. With a twin turboed supra all I have to do is install a Bosst controller and bigger injectors and I can put out well over 450hp which will only cost me about 400bucks. With a BMW your lucky you can get one injector for that price. LOL Not to mention even with all the bolt-ons in the world you still would be shy of 450hp.

But I guess its your money and you can spend it on whatever dumb sh!t you want. LOL Just never say we didnt warned you. There is a reason why a decent condition 97 Turboed supra is still at least 35grand. Our bottom ends are virtually indestructable while BMW's start taking poops when you exceed 500hp on the stock bottom end.

Good luck with your Bimmer.
