Ive driven both cars.Im driving my second Supra and my ex-girlfriend had a M3,daddy's little girl til he found out what I was doing to his baby.Anyway,it's obvious about the comparison of the two.The technology plays a big big role in this whole horsepower issue.But dont let the paper stats fool you.Ive seen people outrun cars with more horsepower than them.It depends on the driver and your preference.Id take my Supra over an M3 anyday and im sure most of the people here would too.

well of course...i mean this is the supra forum right? or no...?

Well im not asking about personal pref but still 1998 m3 puts out 280 and a 1998 supra puts out like 245, so im not seeing why or how you guys can say that you would take a supra over a m3, you guys are saying id rather have my supra anyday, ofcourse you would it has mods, stock to stock what would you want? im not a m3 fan, i love supras but my friend is saying that a supra is faster stock to stock na to na

well it if were a stock na mk4 and a stock m3...i would still take the supra, to me its seems a little rarer to see one of those than an m3...maybe its just here where i am, but i would take a stock m4 no doubt, im sure there are a bunch of numbers that show 0-60 times and 1/4 times for a na supra as well as a m3 both stock, i guess u can do your comparisons on that, i like the supra's styling, i mean both have i-6 motors, but when i talk to people... theyre more surprised that i own a supra...maybe because a lot of people in teh town i live in own bmw's, theyre too common here so a japanese sports car especially one as rare as the supra will catch a lot of people's attention

an m3 will beat a na stock. but you could buy two of those for under the price of the m3. i would compare the tt to the m3 for closer pricing and 1/4 mile times. 0-60 of an m3 SMG 03(list 47k) is like 5.0 and the 93 supra tt is 4.9 and that car is 12 years old. 1/4 m3 is 13.5 and the supra 13.4 stock

N/A is 6.9/15.2
