On what, the Supra Turbo is underrated due to the horsepower cap in Japan just like the Skyline, you can't say the US Celica is overrated because it's crappy transmission waste more power than it's worth. Before I put my foot in my mouth i'll wait until the results come up and judge then, I could be wrong, i'm excellent at comparing power numbers to see who might win, but it's to early to tell.

[right][snapback]304367[/snapback][/right] Supra turbo in Japan and Supra turbo in the US are two different beasts. They use different turbos as a starter... BTW... the Civic SI has an econo motor also. Lower compression, VTEC-E... but that motor can be opened up with little bolt-ons and an ECU flash. Typically speaking, Toyota engines gain very little from bolt-on modifications. If you're comparing ONLY stock numbers... well, if you like low-end torque... buy the Scion tC. Some people want a sports car to feel sporty... instead of feeling like mom's camry ya know... The fact is... Toyota has NOT made a true enthusiats car in quite a while. The 7th gen GTS was a relative stab at the sports enthusiast market... but still behind the competition and basically recieved zero support from toyota. It is more popular in Japan though, with a lot of engine parts available. Some may argue the Supra was an enthusiast car... but with a 40-50K pricetag... I'd say no. It was a sports car... I'll give this to the tC... it looks very good, and it's cheap. It has good power and most drivers will be satisfied with that sort of "feel"... it has great forced induction potential... only thing it doesn't have... a sporty feel. When I drove it... felt just like a typical Toyota sedan. Not really an exciting drive. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
