dont forget to take into account

-torque

-gear ratios

-driver skill

It's not just power that makes all the difference. I dont know the specs on supra's but I know toyota makes some good powerful motors. Common sense though tells me an R33 gtst will rip an NA supra (if both drivers of equal skill).

EDIT: NA supra's would be doing 14's down the 1/4. stock.

I am quite a heavy guy so i must weigh my car down even more, but i can not see myself doing quarter in 14s. I haven't raced a stock r33 yet, but i don't mind trying. Even as owner, i doubt i can really do that well against it. Don't get me wrong, its not slow.. but i think compared to most of the cars i go out with, the power output is too little. Fortunately its still be best looking car in all the DRD's. :) :shake:

As a comparison tho, i have heard it beat stock 180sx and r32 with exhaust and air pod. I beat a charade too!!! ( i dunno why he tried to race me) hmm... i dun have many other kill stories ..hhehe

just my 2 zloti.

can't argue with that one ... most girls don't even know what a turbo is ... i dont' even think a gtr can compare to a supra in a girls mind ... beats us in that department :D

I saw a NA supra (new shape) running the quarter up her in NT. He was so ashamed he actually pulled the number plates of his car before he ran 16.2s over the quarter, either he was useless or the NA supra is all show and no go. I heard that later on in the evening some mates pulled up next to him in a 100 series turbo diesel land cruiser wanting to race him at a set of lights but he didnt want to :P

If Im not mistaken, NA supras run the 100 in high 6's and the quarter in about 15sec. Meaning the're around about on par with stock r32 gts-t's and a bit quicker than stock NA r33's (0-100 in low 7's/ mid 15's quarter mile).

I saw the stats in one of the import performance mags a little while back, comparing NA supras with r33 GTS's.

HPI tested NA supra with NA R33 Skyline and Supra came out on top. Probably cause the supra has 500cc more capacity.

Comparing NA Supra to R33 GTS25t ain't exactly a fair match up. Supra's got more displacement, but a turbo will more than make up for the missing 500cc's in the R33.

On top of that modifying scope in the Supra is a little narrow.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
