supra vs. rx-7 vs. 300zx

wich one would do well on the strip and in the twistes?
also I dont mind geting under the hood to do mods so take that into account aswell

price range sub 25,000

p.s. year dosent mater but pre 1995 would be nice

Well asking this here it will mostly be obvious what'll the outcome will be but it'll be somewhat hard finding a Supra for 25k in a good condition or something that hasnt had the shit raced outta it, the Supra probably has the best potential of power for the 3 but take into consideration of the "twisties" then you'd be better off with the Rex still then ya get the joy of owning a rotary which in some cases you get really luck or really unlucky with the Apex seals and all but really best bet is to to go for a few test drive and see what suits you Hell you might not even want any of them.

thanks anything elss I should Know?

Never buy on an impulse a car is something that should be thought over thouroughly(sp) before b/c really who wants to spend a large sum of money on something you never really wanted

Dont even think about the 300ZX, they are POS.
RX7 will handle the best. A Supra will be the most hassle free.
Rotaries arent fragile unless u treat them like shit, service them often and let them warm up and they are fine.

[R34 GT-R SKYLINE]

Whats wrong with the 300ZX good power I would say average handling wahts wrong?? The best years for the 300ZX are 94-95 before they took off the variable cam timing causing it a loss of about 20hp. But the 94-95 2 seater hardtop TT models shoudl hang pretty well with these cars. RX-7 one of the most unreliable cars ever because of its rotar engine

Like I said before...gimmee a good inline 6.

7MGTE , 1 or 2JZGTE , or RB26DETT.........:bandit: :bandit: :bandit:

[phatdex]

VG30DETT is one of the worst engines ever, no room in the engine bay, very hard to do any upgrades at all and if u havent blown urs up, then u havent driven it very hard then.
I know alot of tuners that refuse to work on them as its a waste of time.

[rayadas]

how about this, lets throw in a Nissan Skyline GT-R 34 year 1999. now lets see what u ppl think. the way i see it the supra and the skyline will be pretty close, once they pull away from the rx-7. i have a feeling the RX-7 might be a little quicker off the line, but farther on down, it wont be able to keep up with these two. thats just what i think so dont get mad at my opinion or talk crap to me.

[Venger10]

Hate to say it...but the Skyline should be able to rock the Supra , at least off the line......
But on a road course , I think the RX7 can hold its own against , if not beat , the Supra ( its lighter in the front ).... The :Nur-edition Skyline would be another story probably.....Those one are badass on auto-X....Even with the extra weight...:bandit:

No suped of piece of jap crap can match the genuine sound of an american v8, especialy my LT1. I'll admit imports can be scary cause you never know what exactly they have in there engines, i had a Vr4 come close but no joint

Ricers don't count.....

Pick on a built Jap sled....you'll eat dust....:finger:

And get with the program...LT1 is old news....LS1 will eat you alive

R34 GTR with exhaust, intake and boost (costing around $1000 US all up) doing low 12 to high 11 1/4 miles? How is that a piece of Jap Crap???

He'll never beleive it till he gets stomped by one

One good thing about the ricers...they give the "No replacement for displacement" guys a false sense of security...sets them up nicely for the take-down by a real car...
