Well most the racing Ive seen ALOT of modded vr4's walk away from supras. Most recent race was on kazaa. Supra vs 3000gtvr4. the vr4 just walked away from the 4th gen supra. Then after the race was over the supra did a ricer drive by. Not saying supras are slow. But a modded vr4 is something elce.
Ah, no...... I use to own a Dodge Stealth R/T Twin Turbo, and I have to tell you the car is heavy. Even w/ the suspension equipped to sport mode, the car still felt like a freight train through the turns. Take off wise of course the VR4 is gonna have an advantage. Looking just at stock figs one can see that the supra traps about 5-6 mph higher (power weight ratio is alot better, although the Poopra is heavy too). As far as modding guys, even you know how reliable DSM's can be. The Supra can take alot of boost, due to reinforced internals and intake manifold. I've heard of supras being reliable w/ 650 rwhp, on stock internals. Try to do the same w/ a 3000 GT VR4. I don't care what anyone says though, cause neither one of them feel particularly torquey to me in the lower rpm range. In any event, please point out an 8 second VR4 to me, cause I know that there are a few 8 sec. Supra MKIV's out there.
