I said Supra because it's engine has the biggest displacement. More power potential. But then again, I don't know much about import tuners.

Re: Which car has the highest potential?

Why there isn't a choice of NSX? (Or NSX-R?)

the EVO can run 11's and 10's for cheaper, but the supra can make more power easiler, but the problem with the supra is that it has problems getting that power to the ground. once you make over 400whp (its is not hard at all for a supra) it is difficult to put that kind of power down on only 2 wheels. now i still choose the supra becusae i don't care about 1/4 mile. i care about flat out highway speed. and even the stock supra will destory and i mean DESTROY any of those AWD cars listed. and will edge out the RX-7. and imagine what a 800whp supra would do on the highway. it is proven that it can even take out a hyabusa on the highend roll. which is what i'm into.

The Supra, IMO, has more potential than the other three.

why wasn't the skyline mentioned in this? but i'm going for the supra, though i think on a highway roll a stock supra and a rx-7 would be a good race.

Re: Which car has the highest potential?

But isn't that the NSX beats up the Supra seriously?
The only problem with NSX here is that the limit on the computer about horsepower is too low...

Re: Which car has the highest potential?

why hasn't the skyline been mentioned?
hmm.

which of these cars, on national circuits, is going lower than 8 seconds?
the supra and the rx7.
the rx7's are faster. but then we're talking tube framed cars.
the fastest "stock" supra (used loosely) is vinny ten, and he's in the 7's.
evo's and wrx's can easily hit 9's though.
consider easystreet racing's wrx. 9's. 740hp.
for the evo, buschur's stage 4 kit, with a stock motor and stock turbo, is running mid 11's. (it's on their site, www.buschurracing.com)
rx7's are consistently into the 10's, and can go lower easy.

but really, not one of these cars was built for the 1/4, nor really intended for it.

the best candidates are the rx7 and the supra, b/c they're rwd.

but that doesn't mean they've got the most potential, honestly.

if you want to go dollars/ET, the evo is going to be your best bang for the buck runner...

Re: Which car has the highest potential?

also.
what's your question pertain to?
by the records, the supra is your fastest car, but you probably want to go by price.

so, for the "bang for the buck" award, i'd go for the evo. anything else?

if money's no object, pull the vinny ten, back-half the chassis, make 1300hp, and put a power glide trans in it and trailer it to the track.
