Ok, I gave my vote to the 3000GT, just because of the technical value. They put alot into them. Here are some of my favorites (in no paticualar order).
1) AWD 2) V-6 Twin Turbo 3) 6-Speed trans 4) Exhaust has Touring(quiet) and Preformance(louder) Modes 5) Suspension has Touring and Preformance Modes 7) Computer adjusted rear wing (The 2000 had the large loop instead) It is also one of the best looking of the group. I think I like it a little better then the SVX. I'm all about the sexy curves. I can't discount any one the price for repairs. All of them can break the bank with mainteince bills. The Honda may break less, but it can still be a little pricy when it does. |

As far as body styling, I think that the RX-7 should take it... The curves on that body are just beautiful... Don't get me wrong, the SVX is very beautiful, but the RX-7 just has flowing curves... Very beautiful IMHO.... I would almost like to take one and put a STi motor in it driving the rear wheels .... Rotary just doesn't get me going all that much.... Plus, they got TERRIBLE Gas Mileage!!! I almost bought a 93 Twin Turbo RX-7, until I asked what the mileage was.... The owner said that it got 13mpg in the city and about 18 on the Hiway Don't think I'd get too far on that....

http://to4r.com/media/mani_new_dyno.jpg This engine does spike up with a big turbo, but off idle power is higher then our peak. People who call supras dyno queens or track cars are mistaken. I know of very few 800hp cars that get driven to and from the track perform in street races like they do(not that i partake in that ) phil

i voted for the supra,, one of the awsome power houses of the 90s a car that was first never relized what it can do.
for uniqueness a svx rx7 always been a fan of, but has apex seals that go out 300zx hicas system suxs and has to be removed and working on the car or replacing the turbo"s forget abought it 3000gt vr4,, awsome cars also 320 hp stock but heavy at 3,700 lbs i think

While it is true that an 800hp+ Supra could be set up to 'hook' on the street, wheel spin will still be easy to come by. I've known powerhouse Supras to still chirp tires on the 2-3 upshift! (lightly modded Z06's can do this as well) Some big Hp Skylines are solely RWD, but a good many are still awd. Either way, the ATTESSA awd system used on the R32-34 Skylines transfers 100% of the torque to the rear wheels unless slippage is detected. -Chike

Stock Supra TT's come with 255 rear tires and Z06's have 295's! Much harder to chip these tires... -Chike
