Wow, a fully modded Supra vs a Ferrari.
That would actually probably be a really good race. In this case, I think the FF Supra would trash a Ferrariout of the hole up to...140 or so, then the Ferrari may start gaining back ground.
The FF Supra really WAS a helluva modded Supra.

Midly modded.. :p Mostly cosmetic work.. Around 420 HP if I recall correctly..

Absolutely wrong,. It was 900 some. I'll Google it and see what I can find.

Don't think so.. I know there's a site claiming 700HP out of it.. I know it's possible, but I've seen many of sites showing HP in the 400 range..

I also learned that you can replace the riced out cars in the movie and replace with horses and the movie would still work.

Supras are actually wicked cars in the high end. They have traction problems off the line when they're pushing that much HP though. My stock MKIII Turbo is capable of 140-150mph in stock form, the MKIV Turbo stock comes in somewhere around 160-175 IIRC, and modded I've seen them up in the 220 neighborhood for professional high speed distance events.

Yeah, its almost a shame that Supra's and RX-7's are dropped in the same class as Honda's just by nature of peoples assumptions. The Supra really is a top notch sports car, regardless of where it came from. I personally would take the RX-7 over one, simply for the fact that was the first car i ever owned. :)
