The Mkiv Supra is a GT roadracer...to compare it with a rustang that can barely corner is rediculous. Sure you can build a solid-axle rustang to win in the 1/8th cheaper than you can a Mkiv Supra. If they think that makes the rustang a superior overall 'sportscar', then I'm truly happy for them.
I wish I had the time to join that forum and defend the Supra's honor, but for me it's a case of been-there-done-that. About a year or so ago I spent a couple of weeks of spare time arguing with similar types on I think it was exoticcarforums. Although I got the main person I was arguing with to admit I could easily (and quite cheaply) upgrade an Mkiv Supra to tear his ~550hp at the crank Firebird a new one...on pump gas with water injection (those types always like to bring up the race gas thing), in the end he didn't officially concede or anything...he and his 'fanboys' just abandoned the thread. In the end I feel it was pretty much a big waste of time, since most of them will continue to believe whatever they choose, no matter what evidence is presented. Like they say, arguing on the internet is like the special olympics...
