Quick question:

Which car would be better to get?

FD35 Rx-7

1998 Toyota Supra


And dont base it on which one you would get, have something to back up why you think one way or the other.

If you're looking for reliability, you'd probably want to go for the Supra; have heard many times that RX-7s and Wankels in general having reliability issues.

2 in favor of the Supra

Also factor in which one is rarer.

Harder to find, less likely to get.

The FD3S is rarer and usually go for around 10K+ but it depends whether its NA or FI. The Twin Turbo ones are rarer and known for blowing up after a cartain amount of time.

The Supra is rare and are usually followed by a big price tag maybe 30K+ for a Twin Turbo one. Reliability wise the supra is way better and the stock bottom end can take about 700hp before needed to be built up.

In my opinion the JZA80 is the better choice

I'm envious. Just curious, but did you get this job as one of those online offers?

Nope. A friend of my mom offered me the job. My mom asked me if I wanted a job, I said sure, and she said I start the next day. :lol:

Only 700? I've been told there are bolt-on kits that will make well over 1000hp.

But yes, the Supra is definitely the better pick out of those two.
The Mazda is lighter and handles better, but the Supra is certainly not sloppy at all, and can easily overcome its extra weight with the massive amount of power it can (potentially) produce.

Personally I wouldn't buy an RX7 just because of the rotary.
Apex seals = fail (quite literally)

700hp?! isn't that a bit too much, without changing the engine block? R34 supports 600hp from it's stock engine block.

But an R34 is not a Toyota.

2JZ = win.

Sorry, I couldn't help but to post this.

*clears throat*

I present you, the Lamborghini Gallardo's, Murceilango's, Diablos, LP640's socialites. :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjEjNmdE4ZU

I was just browsing through some videos when I saw a video on a Murceilango LP640 (which amazingly went up to 219MPH), and I followed up the links, and I came upon this video. Apparently this happenened LA, and this socializing event happens weekly. One by one, the Lambos just kept on coming! Like, HOLY CRAP!! Man.. I wish I could be there. :P

How many were there? Try counting 'em. Just don't drool on your keyboard while doing so. ;)


P.S: This dude who's taping the video was sitting in a Murceilango LP640.
