All three are much better looking IMO and all three have as much it not more 1/4 potiental, and all 3 are better handlers. Just my two cents.
Who let the ricer in?

You people are bending the definition of rice worse than Bill Clinton about getting a hummer. WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT RICE?!? GRRR, any superior Japanese import car that can wup our contour asses is rice??? You know that you would take a R34 skyline if you had the chance. I dont know of one person on these boards who wouldn't.

Ricers also include idiots who like to compare cars to ones that don't exist outside of Japan (like the Skyline and S15). "You think your SVT is fast? A JDM Type-R with a Spoon engine would oWn you azz, foo!"
RX7.. 650HP = Engine go boom, soon.

i was talkin to a guy a few nights ago with an auto mk 4 tt supra. he says the stock fuel system and auto tranny are good to about 550 whp before anything goes wrong. the stock components handle more hp then probable any contour in the world no matter how modded it is. i really dont the the sr20det has the power potential of the supra motor. 2 liter single turbo 4 cyclinder vs one of the strongest 3l inline 6 tt engine ever. im still amazed how fast some people on this board are to call rice on anythign not american.

Show me a car that was sold in the US with the SR20DET. Now show me an SR20DET putting out over 500HP. Ain't happening. The RICERS like to put that engine in light cars like the 240SX to make a cheap fast RWD car, that they can drift like in Initial D. You can tart up an old piece of crap, but it's still an old piece of crap.
The "guy" you were talking to is an idiot. Come on SupraForums and post this gibber and see what they tell you.

Show me the dyno.. I don't see 500HP worth of mods.. I see MAYBE 300HP. Not to mention, that's FWD, correct? Talk about traction issues!
Let's not even get into the fact that the car appears to cost more than a Supra would have cost, which is just retarded.

i wouldn't for a fact. and if i did, i'd sell it immediately for the cash. no love for the car, looks at least. i also think the supra is much better lookin than the 3 cars that were listed. IF i were to pick a project 2 door fast car w/ looks it would be the last gen supra or 300zx (not the new z, which does nothing lookswise for me)

"Ricers" dont put sr20det motors in the 240's because they are looking to make a "drift" car. They do it becasue they are the motor that was supposed to be in the car. In Japan the Silvia (which is the 240 here) has the sr20set. Also this very same engine is capible of putting out 500 hp on the stock crank with out damaging the engine. I know this as fact becasue I have seen this engine put through its paces at work. You should all speak before you type, go to any import website that has tunners that are worth a damn, the sr20det is well regarded everywhere.
The reason I listed these 3 cars was becuase in this same thread someone said the supra was one of the best cars to come out of japan and I mearly stated three others that many other people, including myself, would rather have. Finally, the Skyline and the s-15 are all here in the US. The have been imported in California for the last 8 years.
And if speed is all you car about then why not get a mustang of any year...you can build a stang to run as fast as a supra for a third of the price.
PLEASE dont call me a ricer, A$$, I have been a die hard Ford fan since birth...I Dont have GTR badges on my car and no gay a$$ wings or anything of the sort. It just so happens I happen to work for Japanese car company as a design engineer and somethies that makes me go against my "American Car" roots. I have seen may of these cars you all drool over tested at work so trust me the supra doesnt rate that hard on my list of cars to have.
