What times were you doing? I personally saw a stock (aside from wheels) SW20 beat a stock JZA80 at Meremere, the Supra did a 14.1, The MR2 did a 13.8. I was driving the Supra in question. Not much in it but a win's a win right? I also watched a certain purple Supra doing mid 14's at Meremere as well with light mods (exhaust, intake etc) which is slightly higher than a stock SW turbo time...Then there are videos like this on youtube

On the track I'm just basing my statement on what I've seen at Manfeild. I MR2's seem to be able to come into corners with more speed than Supras and hold more agressive lines without things getting hairy. Cornering is something every MR2 I've ever driven does very well, Supras need decent suspension/strut braces to stay nice and flat through them IMO.
I had an mr2 SW20 turbo, i also had a supra. I can tell you right now that the supra is a far superior vehicle. People saying otherwise have obviously not spent time in a supra. end of story.
I've spent time in a few Supras. Everything from MA70's to modified JZA80's. I drove one as a daily for 6 months and have driven various others on the strip/track when friends let me. I even drove your Supra after you got rid of it
I know the Supra is a superior vehicle, if you read my last post the word "inferior" was used to describe the SW20
It was just an example (and obviously a bad one in your eyes) of a car that performance wise *may* be better in some ways but is at least on par in most IMO.
All I'm saying is I don't see why people compare them to supercars when there are quicker cars (or if this makes you happier, cars just as fast that handle just as well/better) out of Japan. I only used the SW20 as an example, There are so many more potent cars out there before you even reach supercar status that I don't get how a car that isn't particularly fast until it's modified gets to join the club...
but anyway. This is toyspeed. so unless you have a blacktop 4age you obviously suck balls.
gotta agree with you on something I guess. Although I don't think they discriminate on the colour of the top.
