I'm stuck between the 94+ Supra TT, EVO 8, and 03 STI
Which one would be the best (street race DRAG (Highway race....occasional track 1320 race) CAR?
How does the EVO 8 compare to the STI
How might the awd be better than the RWD?
Let's say you have 500+ HP with the Supra.......can you even use it on while dragging.....I would think the wheels would just spin....wouldn't it be too powerful?
Help me make my decision

how is awd better than rwd? well awd is better off the line because you have more traction... then it is also better durring turns... think of it... when you turn with a rwd car the rear wheels are pusing the front wheels forcing it to turn but with an awd car it is pulling and pushing so it is easier on the front tires...
sti vs evo8 well the sti is slightly faster (0.1 in 1/4 mi and 0 - 60) evo has better quality stock... and also more potential... i belive max hp on any wrx is 720bhp... while on the evo it is 800bhp...
with the supra... they wont just spin out... it is easier to do than on a awd car but harder than a fwd car... think of it... im sure u have been in a fast car before.. when you punch the gas off the line or at a slow roll where does ur body go??? into ur chair or it goes in the oppisite direction the car is going... the same thing happens to your car... because of its inertia, almost all the weight shifts to the back wheels... puting more wieght on the back wheels helps it catch the ground faster, of course if you start at a too high rpm it will spin out, but just rev lower.. if you have that much power then it will pick up quickly after you have caught the ground... if your racing on the high way and starting at a roll then it shouldnt be a problem at all...
over all, i say supra...
