good question...Supra's are known to be better in a straight line, whereas 240's shine in the twisties...so even though the 240 is lighter...i think the Supra might have it. take it to the road course though, and i think the 240 might win...not sure.
this IS a thread for the car comparisons forum...but since you want the opinion of people in here, i'll leave it...

first of all, a plain ol redtop and a new snail isnt gonna give you 400+ hp.
second , what kind of BPU are on the supra and what kind is it (mkiii, mkiv twin turbo...etc)
third, get outta here with that question thats dumb

can you settle down a little bit? you've been really hostile with your posts lately. it's a legit question, and he can ask it if he damn well pleases.
although you're right about the HP numbers. i must have missed that. a red-top with a T78 most likely won't break 400...

supra
this should really be in car races or some other forum topic... and there's no way you can get a 240 to 400hp that easily. now a 240 with a modded rb engine, that will win.

Hey sorry, I should have posted thin in car comparisons in the 1st place, and as for redtops hitting 400hp, it's not at all as difficult or rare as u guys r makin it seem

If it was a 240SX w/a KA-T w/around 415rwhp...I'd give it to the 240SX...since my buddy's ex KA-T was the bomb and was killing Vipers left and right...

Damn! IT would be nice to see the 240 beat the supra in a straight line! That would be one of those times that u can recall in 50 yrs because it seems so rare! But if u take it to the mountains thats a different storY! Damn supras! I wonder if the flamers at SRO will clown on supras! Damn that bug me!

Do you mean Jay's old 240? I see that you are from FL, maybe it's Orlando.
Anyway, why not drop in an RB25DETT to even up the comparison.
