It makes perfect sense and it is a fair comparison because I am discussing dollar for dollar. A 70k Supra will kill a 70k R8. A 198k Supra will kill a 198k 911 Turbo. Not the Supra owners problem that the other person is willing to pay more for the name than performance. Dont get into ride quality and all that crap. Main word PERFORMANCE.


Mod for mod is a different story. But thats not what I am talking about right now.

If you watch at about 6:33, look at the 911.. if you look closely you can see that the number plate is quite bent.. lol, i dunno if that was his poor driving earlier or if he had a Mad Max style school run..!

apples to oranges...put the same money you would to mod the supra into the porsche or audi and then see what happens. I don't deny the supra is fast when modded, it just doesn't make sense when people say "oh if the car was modded with X amount of money, it would've won" well yea sure but then its not a fair comparison.
