seems a few people forgot he's a moderator here. lol. but with that logic, a geo metro could beat anything if you put enough money into it.

True but I meant even with the MKIII as fairly stock.

BWHAHAHA. Calm down there speed racer. I have the heaviest non turbo 3S and I can beat my friend's 87 Turbo pretty good. Although obviously his has 200k on it...Please don't talk when you don't know what you're talking about, the VR4/Stealth TTs run mid-high 13s bone stock, intake, mbc, exhaust = 12s.

LOL, this made me crack up. 3000GTs' repairs fucking suck. They break so much its retarded....everything on my NA seems to have broken once. As far as weight, they weigh 3800lbs. not too far off from the Supra's 3500. If you can't "afford repairs" then don't get a 3000GT. Everything for them is expensive, they break a lot (t-case lockups/tranny synchros/spun bearings/timing component faliures etc.), and you don't sound too mechanically inclined, so don't even think about buying one unless you plan on spending an assload of money to get it running right. Finding a shop that even knows what they're doing is hard also, most Mitsu dealers don't know shit. Only thing good about owning my NA is how much it taught me to work on cars because of when it would break when I'd be broke and I'd fix it myself since I had no cash lol.

Good things = The styling is way ahead of its time, its a lot faster, throw bigger turbos on it (say 13gs) with supporting mods and you have an 11 second 400+whp street car in 100% street trim

If you want a "nice" car that can beat most on the street than go for it, but its not exactly a good track car as its handling its not the best.

I have a friend that has both and says they're both good at what they do because the Supra is more fun to drive sometimes b/c of RWD, but the VR4 is fast and fun because the AWD pins you back in your seat.

I like my friend's Supra because its sooooooo easy to work on compared to my Stealth (TTs are harder to work on) but I dunno which one I'd pick...

3S = Nicer interior, nicer exterior, faster, shit breaks, expensive parts, hard to work on, higher value.

My only general maintance complaint about the supra is about changing the damn spark plugs. What a pain in the ass. Well maybe not. Just time consuming...and having to pull off all those damn parts off thetop of the engine. other than that I wouldnt trade my suprafor anything in the world. Except maybe two supras :-)

Its a piece of cake compared to a plug/wire job on a 3S...

Next time read the entire thread...

I will have no problem beating your non turbo or a vr4 with a lot of mods.

I dont know anything, youre right...

KhanArtisT · 08-18-2006, 01:40 AM

LOL, dude, calm the fuck down. Do you seriously think you're the fastest damn car in the world? Go to 3SI and post a thread please, I'm sure one the 10 second 3S's would gladly meet up and rape your mad tyte s00pruh!!1 Good luck getting traction LOL.

Yes, my car is the fastest in the world. Not even close, its not the fastest mk3 supra.

Would you agree that there are certain supras that can beat certain vr4's?

If so read my previous post from top to bottom and you'll realize what a jackass youre being.

If you disagree, then you are a fucking moron.

Ok, now your first two sentences make me want to stop reading your post...

Yezsir. Modded, assuming it means that both cars are modded the same amount, a 3S would win. Intake/MBC/Exhaust, on both cars, 3S wins.

kwnate · 08-18-2006, 01:58 AM

Who said anything about the same mods?

Stock vs Stock, vr4 wins

Same mods vr4 wins

My car vs. your piece, supra wins.

Not that hard
