That's why I picked the supra first you can add boost without too much trouble.

300ZX, VR4. I like the Supra but i hear about it all the time... bleh. RX7 is nice and and all but I was never crazy about it nor Mazda in general. I like Mitsubishi, my Lancer, my friend's Ralliart and of course the EVO... the 3000GT is like the Dodge Stealth.. aren't some of them twin turbo? Would the 3000GT VR4 be twin turbo?

I don't really like Nissan all that much but the 300ZX is really a big exception to me. I don't know that much about the car but it makes me drool! ! I would want a nice black t-top twin turbo 300ZX.. it's a 6cyl right? don't know much about it

RX-7 easily.

Supra = Way overrated
300Z = Not a true Z. Compapre it to the older Z's and its butt ugly and fat and heavy
VR4 - I believe the heaviest of the bunch.

While all are good cars, in the purest sense of sports car I think the RX-7 easily takes the crown.

The supra is a bland looking car. The RX7 ive driven and is fun (it was a 92 non turbo). The 300Z like mentioned is heavy, and the VR4 isnt what i like in looks. Overall the RX-7 would win for me, but that might just be because ive driven one.

Damn, hard to pick. I voted for the Supra, but I'd love to have a 300ZX, and an RX7 would be cool too.... lol

supra, for the possibilities and the better reliability. RX-7 is more fun stock though. then 300ZX and then the 3000GT, because that is really just a diamante or something with awd.

The RX-7 still looks like it just rolled out of the design shop, the others not so much.

the 3000gt. AWD is cool. However, the FWD 3000gt sucks.

I don't like the supra, reminds me of a '94-'99 Celica. However, I do love the '94 Celica GT-4 which isn't sold in the states. The RX-7 almost gets my vote but it's shaped funny, the 300zx has no appealing qualities to me, so 3000gt it is.

The RX7 is the fastest one around the track and I like the way it looks. RX7 for me.

The possibilities will never equal the RX-7's.....
 

rx7 is the most well balanced race car of the pack
with the supra coming in second.

what kind of quarter times can you get on stock internals in an RX-7?

For a drag car, the Supra has nearly endless potential, easy power out of it.

For a track car, myself, I would take an RX7, light and nimble, the way I like it.

300ZX TT has the best looks IMO.

Performance:
1. Supra
2. RX-7
3. 300zx
4. 3000 GT

Looks:
1. 1999 Spec 300zx
2. Kouki RX-7
3. Supra
4. 3000 GT

Car I personally would want:

1. 1999 Spec 300zx
2. Supra
3. RX-7
4. Honda Civic
5. 3000 GT

I don't think the Supra is overrated at all. How many other cars can put out over 100 whp greater than stock with less than $1500 in mods?
