Guest Oblit3ration Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Hi all, Does anyone have any comparrisons between these two cars? A: 1998 Supra Twin Turbo 6 Speed manual B: 1991 R32 GTR 2.6 Twin Turbo Basically I'm just wondering if either is quicker, better handling, or generally a better car to drive than the other? Whats the performance comparrison as well? Appologies is this seems a weird thread, but I have my reasons for asking I.e. a friend had a unbelievably mint '98 Supra that was totally standard that only had approx 13,000 miles on it when he bought it. It was very quick (to me) and I am now thinking of either getting an older Supra (still a TT manual) or a very very clean standard-ish R32 GTR and would like some peoples views on both if they have them.

Alex Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 They are two different cars...they are designed for different things. You have to drive both to decide which you like most....but the Supra will cost less to run and insure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 The Supra is rarer. 6 spd VVTI TT not many around. Old Skylines:limp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Sorry it's paid up members only! A little discussion on supra V's Skyline (A bit like Batman versus Superman!) One of the comments: 'I got an R32 GTR as my 'backup' car ... and I love it. Totally different from the Supe, but still great fun. Stock R32 GTR vs stock Supra TT would be pretty even to be honest .... the good news is that my Supe tears the R32 to bits. But it's having some work done, so I may struggle in the future against it' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprasteve Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 They are two different cars...they are designed for different things. You have to drive both to decide which you like most....but the Supra will cost less to run and insure. remember the R32 will also be older which is what put me off buying one. + the insurance was much higher too both standard performance is simlar, the skyline will probably have more grip "off the lights" or in the rain but the supra more power at higher speeds. Like Alex said the only way of chosing is test driving them both. you're gunna get bias opinions coming from a Supra forum, likewise if you went on a skyline site. a couple of my friends have them and not had any trouble with them but nor have i with mine *touches wood* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
