supra tt all the way...though i have nothing against the rx7tt...those guys as well as the supra guys are a tight knit community...ive raced a rx7tt stock and hooked up...fast either way...theyre better at climbing the gears since its lightweight, low end they lack a little torque...but they climb a little faster and rev higher than teh supra...due to its lightweight rotary motor.....though with torque and power...i would go supra tt...but i think its personal opinion

well i dont think anyone here will go with the rx7 ( supra forum duhhh ) but both of the cars are really great. The RX7 is light and has great potential good use of a non traditional ( rotary ) engine... great for drifting.. Speed wise SUPRA baby no question... Overall looks like Toyota took more time to create our MKIV monster.
If it comes down to the Question ; Which is a greater or better car ( after looking at ALL the aspect of both cars SUPRA will come up on top. P.SI dont know about anywhere else but in Chicago Rx7 are RARE!!! Last edited by TRAFIK; 10-28-2005 at 04:48 PM. |

i like the fact that you dont have to rebuild the motor every 50k like the rx7

well...teh rx7 motor can last longer than 50k...depends on how u take care of it and what you put into it...theres a difference from teh factory the 2jz u can basically beat the hell out of it right out of the factory and it still be amazing at 50k...with an rx7 its not as durable from teh factory..so beating the crap out of it for 50k miles would be ill advised, though doing the right upgrades to beef up the 13b it will be pretty stout and can handle a lot of power and abuse...jsut depends on how much you are willing to spend and doing your research

What about all the inheirent problems the RX7 has? I assume we're talking about the 3rd gen. Like the engine bay catching fire due to the fuel line being routed poorly. I also hear the cat sits right under the turbo causeing the turbo to get to hot. I also hear of the engine by getting realy hot as well. I've heard of it melting the plasic fans. Also the RX7 gets much worse gas milage, and you have to put oil in it like a two stroke engine. So I guess if you do a conversion to get the cat out of the engine bay, switch out the plastice fans for metal and find a way to better insulate the fule line it might reliably get you to work every day and blow the doors off of about 97% of the cars on the road....But this is just what I heard when I was looking to get one. People who have ound them might dissagree, in which case I would listen to them.

well those are some of the problems that commonly occur in the car...but that only happens when people drive them hard while stock...i dont know why.. but for me a car should be able to be driven hard stock... and the rx7 if driven hard often..those problems occur, though i dont think teh gas mileage is terrible...i know if your seals are messed up then you gotta keep putting in oil...otherwise theres no oil problem
