See it's that kind of attitude in the first part of your post that gives Supra owners a pigheaded reputation in the domestic community and some parts of the import community...I've been in both..owned a turbo RSX for a number of years and up until recently owned a Lightning...there is a bit of truth to the fact that cobra owners can be cocky, but the same can be said for most drivers of coveted sportscars..Supra included..but for the most part in the years I spent with Lightning/Cobra guys, they're just as much tuners as any import guys I've seen...theyre not idiots for buying a Cobra..in some aspects its better than a Supra, in some its not...and what was Ford doing those 10 years? Marketing to a different crowd..they had the Mustang, which was selling like hotcakes, and still does. The Japanese industry was way ahead of Ford back then though, but shortly after SVT was established, they started building the first Lightnings and Cobras (and Escorts and Contours..belch), which were still very nice and decently fast cars. And even to this day those old 93's have some crazy potential (Go find your local T78 Gen I Lightning and see what that can do) While I'm still biased to like imports, I'm still gonna say you were way outta line with those comments...respect should be given to either side; each has their pros and cons and uninformed and disrespectful comments like that only provoke the other side and make us look bad. That being said,as is the general consensus, the Terminator will definately take out the MKIV and the VR4 in the quarter, but when it comes autox time, the cobra is a fish outta water...but it wasnt built to do that was it? Cobra owners generally buy them not to autox but to take it fast and straight, and it's very good at doing that.
