Rx7 ( FD) vs. Supra ( MKIV)

I was wondering, what would be faster, a stock fd or a stock twin turbo supra?
They are both badass cars, but if I would have to pick, I would go with the rotary.

Faster at what? Track, top speed, street, quarter mile?
Handling = rx7
Power = supra

But like moehler said they are both nice.

my friend used to own a MKIV and he dynod it at about 325, give or take a few hp. and the tires on the beast broke loose all the time...and he had dunlops(not sure of the sizes). im just saying that supras are badass, but they dont have the ability to maintain traction

Its a matter of preference, they both have their advantages and disadvantages. To supra owners FD's are referred to as "rolling gernades" and us fd owns have several names for supras like pigs etc etc. I personally like both, and to people who say supras cant handle...bullshit i driven both a NA and tt supra and they handle ALMOST as good as our cars. But power wise they own big time, its just a matter of money, just like the fd. Supras are also more rare, I prefer the more sleek lines of the FD though. Faster from a dig I think the fd would win, but from a roll the supra would own, espically from like a 40 roll, I believe they arent known for their top end power. Two of my best friends own MKIV supras, one NA and one tt. IMO the na is just a waste of time and his cost more money at $16k with 100k miles na, where my fd was $14.5 with 33k miles, but damn they really retain their value. In the end its just prefrence and i would like to own both but the FD is in my garage not the supra.

actually the supra is better in handling stock
that has a little to do with the big tires it comes with stock and the 7 has 225s

supra is faster in the 1/4 as well

the RX-7 beat it in top speed by a few mph

stock for stock the rx-7 is close but loses in almost every category.
It's a solid car, that engine is money!

The stock Supra is faster.. Not by much but definately faster. On paper that is... I havent driven a stock Supra for about 7 years now but when I did, it much more cumbersome than the RX. In my opinion the RX is second to none in terms of Driver feedback and control.

Supra=more reliable, make more power, costs a lot more & IMO looks like a fat Celica

Rx-7=not as reliable, makes less power, costs less initially but still a lot in the end & IMO looks like a sexy beast
