It brought to most of our minds that - a Supra is a car for drag racing, it's very powerful and capable. The reason behind all the fame of the Supra, I think, is because of the Fast and Furious franchise. The Mazda is capable of lapping Tsukuba, stock, in the 1:04 barrier, which was unheard of back in the days. The RX-7 however has a 13B twin turbo engine, which is like nothing else. I get it, so what about the RX-7, a car that is front-engined, rear-drive, like the Supra, costs just about the same as the Supra.

You might say 'But the NSX is much more expensive than the Supra though'. The NSX for example, has a C30B/C32B engine that is made from the ground up to scare the world, and show the world that it's capable of doing great things. The competition however, is much more attractive. I myself don't find it attractive at all. Being the flagship sportscar of a firm, I would assume that Toyota would develop an engine from ground up, not just grab whatever in the firm's parts bin to put it in the engine. Hell you can even grab one of the 2JZ engines from a Toyota Aristo, which is sort of like the Japanese version of the Lexus GS300. Even if the engine is, the car still won't be that great because of an engine. The problem here is that stock, they aren't great. I often see them go for 1000bhp easily without much major modifications.

I do freely admit, that the Supra's 2JZ is extremely capable. But the Supra when tuned is extremely fast.
