Which Supra? MkIII?

I mean bang for the buck...you cant beat the 5.0 Stang

Handling wise out of the box...you gotta give it to the FC

I would choose the FC and drop a SR20DET or RB25DET into that sucker!!!

FC3S. It'll run circles around the other two on a road course.

well actually, that import shootout video floating around this forum places the supra quite a bit faster than the FC3S on a road course. the supra finished a little over 2 full seconds before the FC....

as for road course performance, the supra will take it according to the video...

for bang for the buck...mustang but the supra is no slouch.

i would still take the FC3S but thats me...

Really, I wouldn't have expected that, what with the Supra's 3500 lb. curb weight and the FC's awesome suspension tuning. But I guess the difference in power really sealed the deal.

must have...i didnt expect that either. what was even more surprising to me is that the supra was on the 300zxTT's ass at the very end of the race. but the 300zx driver did get a little off the road in one of the last turns.

anybody know of a free video hosting website?!?!?!

I'll take the 5.0 mostly due to the vast amount of performance upgrades available, and I like drag racing more than road racing so it suits me better. However, the FC is a very fun drive.

I am a little bias, But I would take the supra...I love the way they look, they have enough power, I love the targa top...The 5.0 really is the best bang for the buck out of these..Supras cost a little more, and are a little slower, but I like the rest of the car so it makes up for that
