Compared to an Evo

IMHO
The stock numbers on the EVO is like a 13.1 sec 1/4. The factory 235hp MK3 turbo auto ran a 14.7 in 89 and the 320hp MK4 turbo auto ran around a 13.4. So figure with 100 hp in mods you should be knockin on 13.5-13.7. Another 50-75 hp and you should match or beat a factory EVO. If youre running a stock ct at 15psi you should be gettin close to 320-350 whp give or take a few. If you used an NA block with 9.2 compression then you should be makin at least 20 or so more at the wheels. I've seen slips from a MK3 running low 13's with a stock ct at 15psi. On the street even a run from a stop may come out a win. If not you definitely would negate most of his advantages from a roll (if he's stock).

And the Supra is still classier anyway :icon_bigg ...the EVO 8/9 is still a carbon fiber rice boy's wet dream. They are fast but they look like civic sedan with a kit

Evo's are amazing cars I must say. I'm hardcore supra, i think we can own everyone. Those things are amazing though, if its a stock Evo, it wont take THAT much to match it, but if it has work done to it, you better be riding a 1J/2J to take it, or a HUGE 7M upgraded motor.

Im passionatly in love with my supra, but that evo really look nice.

Who cares if its a civic looking car? 13.1 stock is fast.

I like evo's, i like supras more. But this evo was quite the show.

I dont knock the EVO's at all for performance but for an AWD I still like the 1998 STI coupe available in the islands. Thats just my preference in styling. And since the supras still sport the only production motors to truly be able to handle 2x the factory wheel horsepower...minimum......on stock iinternals i still lean to the Toyotas. 7M, 1J, 2J the progression in power handling is mindblowing.

PS...my 1989 turbo targa 5-speed MSRP was between 27000 and 32000.....what a EVO costs TODAY. We STILL have WAY more car.
