I don't know jack about jack, but I'd think the 7 b/c it's much lighter... or so I thought?

holy @#$%! See the 20 sec AWD tempo HAHAHHAHAHA

According to that mag too (if it's too small for you to read or you have bad eyes):

These seem to be 87s
QM
TII -15.49
Supra T-16.17

0-60
TII -6.69
Supra T-7.54 (5 or something else, i'm straining on a 14" monitor here..)

48 hp advantage on the supra?? how when they had 200 or 210 in 87 then in 90 i think they got 230 and the 7 had 182 for 1987... the 7 would definetly take it on the 1/4.. right from the start

87 Supra's have 190 hp. Turbo Supra 87 and up have 230. But they weight almost 2 tons. FC woould win easily.

Great post wai, but how come the trap speed of the TII is only 83.9? Is it my eyes...or a misprint?
