Supra vs M3
Lets say a 98 Supra, either model vs a new M3.
Are M3's really as fast as they are cracked up to be?

Re: Supra vs M3
stock m3 vs stock supra?
M3 should slaughter it. Supra's power comes out in modifying. |

Re: Supra vs M3
Id say an M3 has a slight advantage.
But as far as refinment, quality, looks, the M3 just murders and slaughters the cheap looking inside and out supra.

Re: Supra vs M3
straight performance........... i'd say a drivers race flat out, but up top i give it to the supra, when aerodynamics come into play

If you compare year to year models. The Supra is clearly the superior car. Now, if you want to compare a 2004 model to a 1997 model then its a different story.

Well, i guess u can just look at my sn and find my answer. I love the M3. Simply the best (imo). The Supra was a great car, easily my favorite Japanese sports car ever sold in America. But the M3 is better. As it should be, the Supras were $30,000+ cars, the M is a $50,000 car. If I were to buy a strictly drag ricing car, I'd probably go for a Supra, but as a street/track car, my M3 is amazing.
This is my heavily biased opinion |

O, i know the Supra can do stuff other then drag, I've drivin both. A friend of mine has a 400bhp+ MKIV, and i've been beaten by it in a drag. Like I said, the Supra was a great car. But im still convinced the E46 M3 has better handling. The 50/50 weight distribution works wonders. But I must admit it has been a while since I've drivin a stock one, mine is nicely modified.
I must apologize about my price quote for the Supra, its been a while since they've been out. For some reason I remember them as being around $35,000 for an N/A, and closer to $40,000 for the Twin Turbo. My mistake. Im a huge fan of German Engineering and the M3 is the essence of everything I want in a car. Other then a 911, there are few cars I consider to be more desireable then the M3. |

i love how the m3 looks, and im sure it handles great with its near 50/50 weight distribution, but it got beat by a less powerful nissan 350z track edition. im also disappointed by the fact that its starting to lose its balance a bit, its slighty front biased now compared to the older e36's rear bias.

stock M3 vs stock Supra in a drag race I'd bet on the M3 SMGII
That's what I have and yes it's about 13.5 to the quarter mile but I routinely beat cars with quicker quoted times. Because the SMGII is idiot proof. You can't make a mistake. Push the lever forward, floor the throttle and release. Pull the paddle everytime it hits 8000rpm. Most people can't do a perfect launch and 3 perfect gear changes everytime. |

this was clearly not a fair race, with the same driver posting times round that track, any ohter time and the m3's times would have slaughtered the times of the 350z.
