I don't know much about RX-7's, Supra's or Ferrari's (though i love 'em all), I do know that Sony speakers suck $#!t. If u want quality speakers, give Cerwin-Vega a check. Now that's loud, clear, and sweet sounds to my ears.
Btw, y'all need to stop jocking the Fast and the Furious. Ya, it might not have been much of a movie but it's the only movie dedicated to street racing (even though it was only like one scene in the movie). Besides don't act like y'all didn't want to burn rubber after seeing that movie. Luckily for me my friend was driving in his '84 corolla.
why don't we put a #$%#ing turbo, a nos, and make it kick everyones ass... then we can buy a new engine to replace the blown one...
Hey custum hdt Are you Australian or where from? If you had that sort of setup you'd be doing pretty well on the strip. Have you had a chance to run any quaters yet? <!-- Signature -->

HEy ferrari aints out there as well i'd say the number one company for nothing alright...they're there cause they're good and reliable...........but if you'd ask me i'd go for a supra and modify it a bit...well thats cause of the money......i'm sure all you people out there who says ferrari sucks would go for a ferrari anyday if you had the $.......

I love seeing people in there little 1.8's and there little v-6's with nos. I find it so funny that they can't handle what a 5.7 v-8 can handle in terms of nos. and how american v-8 and v-10's dont need turbos and other shits like that to make power. We make real enines. a turbo charged camaro with lets say 650hp would destroy a supra or anyother jap sprts car with 650hp cause we got the crazy torque, low end power and the turbo power up high. what do jap got. high end turbo power. please. when japp can make a 450hp STOCK engine w/o turbos, then talk. til then shut up. for every camaro, there is a faster supra, for every supra, there is a viper, for every GT-R, there is a VIper also. for every 5 sec jap car, there is an american v-8 powered Top Fuel dragster and funy car. it makes me think. if those jap cars are so cool, then why are the fastes and quickests cars in the world are american, powered by american engines. i would love to see a vtec top fuel dragster, or funny car. lmfao <!-- Signature -->

You know how much parts for those bastards cost? A shitload. And there engines in most all cases don't see over 90,000 miles w/o major overhaul or replacement.

And not like 90,000 isn't reliable, but still a car should take more (not like turbo rotaries are better) but they still breakdown and run hot as hell<!-- Signature -->
first guy blown2000whatever your an idiot just like veryone else said and everyone else asking for these high output turbos, you know its not as simple as an intercooler additional fuel and a turbo, the boost that would be needed to get 800hp or more out of a turbo would blow the stock engine setup and you know it. Get a moderate sized turbo rebuild the engine for strength and higher compression, intercooler, get something better than the stock ecu new fuel pumps and finally through in some nos not two stage high horespower shots, just something to lower the temp when the shit gets hot, and finally one of those "awesome sony sound systems" (sarcasm) really though high quality speakers with decent gauge gold wire and 2 amps 1 for subs and 1 for your mids and highs

Cmon car guys, I don't know as much as y'all, but keep this in mind, you can't always be right and everyone else be wrong because of this-everybody that has conflicting statements either has incorrect knowledge OR has correct knowledge but does not yet have correct knowledge of what the other person is saying as being true. So at least one of you is wrong, whether you want to admit it or not, because I know at least one of you is stubborn and will stick to what you think regardless of anything, and you could actually be wrong. Referring back to stubborness-if you automatically, as you read this, think to yourself "Well I know I'm right because_______" and don't consider other people's statements and/or do not have knowledge of their statement consistently proven wrong, or yours consistently proven correct (consistency being based on at least 90% same outcome), then you are automatically stubborn, if you deny that fact of stubborness, then you're proving to yourself that you're officially stubborn for denying stubborness. I'm sick of this mindless, ad-hominem filled bickering, so I'm NOT going to read anymore of this thread (after my post) which has drifted from an innocent, honest opinion and turned into this junk.
man peoples. why cant we all just stop argueing with each others and bask at the true beauty of this car?
What the fuk r u thinkin, ferraris look like shit, and u ask have u seen one, what i think is u acctually need to see one and than maybe u can talk. supra is garbage compared to ferrari in every aspect possible,ok sure a stock supra is only .2 sec slower on start but in the track it will get laped by the ferrari a bunch a times and as far as durability goes, please with ur turbo toyotas, dont just consider start in cars consider everything from design to the leather that's used to make the #$%#in leather for the shift boot, and sure fast n the furious was some fuked up movie u say but like someone else said u still went to see it a couple of times and shit i live in NYC and i go to a lotta street races and theres a whole bunch a ppl who do use NOS up here and yea nos does #$%# up ur engine but thats if ur a fukin idiot and put it on stock, but if ur gonna go all out to NOS might as well first get some headers, enlarged cylinder and a bunch of other things and ur good to go with NOS.

You need to get your mind off of the Fast and Furious. That movie wasn't really good. It was created by a guy who didn't even know a lot about cars, Rob Cohen. I watched it, and left near the end, saying I needed to go to the bathroom, and I went to the arcade instead. That's plain stupid, how that Supra got whooped by a Dodge Charger (Plymouth Hemi Cuda?), or whatever happened. Just plain sad, an American car from the 1970s. It just shows what an idiot the director was.<!-- Signature -->

Amen. Fair nuf if you live in a country where your fuel costs less than running water. And they reckon a rotary is thirsty!
This is a cool car. I'm not about compacts though. I prefer Vette's. They are a little more expensive but, they are better stock than the rx-7, they don't need upgrades(they'll do around 4 seconds 0-60 and 1/4 mile around 9) you would have to upgrade any compact to do that. The Vettes have virtually no major flaw, handling is good, good acceleration and top speed; but then there's always a problem, money. Now for some people(like me) it is not 2 much of a problem. this is a good car, but you would have to do some work on it to challenge!
for those who say that european cars are so good and reliable and such great engineering, you must be lucky. I have a 1991 audi and i have a world of problems. The car idles very low, loses power, accelerates slowly, sounds bad, and gets about 10 mpg although it is an i5. And i cannot afford to get it fixed because parts and labor on this car cost so much. I will always stick to american from now on.
