The 8 is faster, the Supra is a N/A automatic. He plans to put a turbo in but it happens to have the same prob as the 8, 10:1 compression, so it will take some money. He claims he will give that Supra to his girlfriend and is going to buy a TT Supra, so I claim to him when he does I'll buy a FD.
The Supra has more torque, so at takeoff it feels faster (I've driven it several times) but the 8 out accelerates it. Get a lot of looks driving around together.

Also the Supra is longer than the 8, for that we were both suprised, and I guess the Supra must not be a sports car either (peppered with sarcasm) because it has a full backseat too.

I used to think Supras werereally beautiful cars until the last two years when all these post-modern looking cars were released. For its time though the late Supra really looked great. Butwhen you look at it up here in thispic now next to an Rx8 it really does reek of the 90s.

The Supra forums are like AOL chatrooms, 14 & 15 y/o boys saying they're 20 something's, and claiming something that is not true.

I think the exhaust is an apex, makes the stock 8's look tiny. I think I'm going with the GReddy.

My friend also has a Supra N/A Automatic .. it s 93... same design... every year supra was the same... besides 97-98.. it had VVt-i...

I drove it many times... it feels fast.. but really isn't. Can haul to 0-60 in 7.2-7.9... On the freeway its pretty quick though...

His Supra is faster than most cars around here anyway, lots of rice here and there, usually no engine mods though. The Supra still feels stable at higher speeds compared to a lot of cars.

One of the think i like about the supra is it doesn't feel heavy.. even though it is... 3450 lbs.
Thats why its so stable at high speeds... me and my friend did 130 mph.. in it... its feels pretty stable... but not as stable as RX-
8...

IMO, the Supra is the one car i can't see too riced out...although i'm sure there are some that are overly done, i've personally never seen it...no matter what you do to it, it still looks amazing at any angle...i love those cars but unfortunately couldn't afford even a used one so i settled on the 3000GT...later when i could finally afford one, the RX-8 came out...i guess it was never really meant to be
