would a supra with a similar power figure beat it

 

Depends what you mean by beat it....

 

If you mean round the twisties then no

 

If you mean on a quarter mile strip then no

 

If you mean round the nurburgring then only if Big Num is driving it

 

If you mean from a rolling start then probably not

 

If you mean miles per gallon then I have no idea but id still guess no

 

If you mean putting a bigger smile on your face then YES :D

GTR would beat a Supra in most guises if matched in power. It would also be more consistent and safer to drive.

 

I don't think that's a bad thing. As someone has already said there is over a 20 year tech difference. The GTR is a brilliant car and deserves it's place in motoring legend.

 

Whether or not the new Supra will be able to claim the same is yet to be established, but I doubt it.

Ive been side by side with a GTR on the dual carriage way near to where i live.

 

It was stock and I can tell you, that car pulls like a train!

 

My Supra is no slouch either. 6 speed, Borg Warner S300SXE twin wastegate, twin scroll single turbo setup. 660bhp at 1.7bar.

 

One day I will own a GTR, absolutely love the car haha.

To be fair my old setup was running 560flywheel power and a lad in his R35 GTR was running 600 and couldn't get away on a rolling launch from 50mph and above. The weight of his car definitely came into play. Off the line though I would of been murdered. There were multiple witnesses to this including glanza_mike

Apparently if a stock GTR were much lighter than it is, it would be slower from 0 to 60, according to some engineers. More traction I guess, maybe it's not even true but heard it said a couple of times.

 

I would think most Supra's would struggle. I would love to drive a GTR one day, never even been for a ride in one.
