My buddy has a TRD Widebody 1994 Supra with 1150WHP and he had a 05? NSX with intake/header/exhaust/coilovers and brakes with some work wheels, and he sold the nsx after about 4 months of ownership. he has since then picked a GTR. he said the NSX was a better "Street" car then his supra (well odviously)

Personally to me it's a NO CONTEST matchup. Supra win's hands down. More aftermarket (or so it seems) Look better. They handle GREAT. there fast. and with a couple thousand and a good drivers can be something very few cars can run down.

i say supra, over and over.

then again i'm a fanboy.

i like the NSX looks better, but they look much faster than they really are. cool thing about hte NSX is you could probably buy it and sell it a few yearslater for the same price. i think the pricing on them has hit bottom.

I love the look of the NSX's but they are pretty fuckin slow... I've ridden in a built N/A 91 before and it was not that great...

Flicktitty

i think that's about the truth. Supra's have SLOWLY lost some of it's "firm" price staying. As with the economy there starting to become less and less money, but they are still holding EXTREMLY well.

Yeah I agree, but flicktitty I have a question for you, how did your friend legalize the GTR in the US. Im very interested in buying one and saw one in Canada that I like but I know I'll have a ton of trouble with the boarder patrol and bringing it into the US. I heard i can do it as a kit car but I want the car as my daily. PM me if you or anybody else knows how to do this, I'm very interested. Also, this is my bad on going off topic lol, so lets try to still do a comparison between the nsx and supra haha

DrIvEsldEwAyS

supra hands down.

its all relative though. some people just get more satisfaction out of driving a smaller, lighter, N/A car. i know i do.

Well Im just interested in a Skyline in general doesn't have to be a GTR. I'd take a GST-T or any other skyline out there.

That's a friend's car.

I personally would choose the NSX but to get the NSX to the way I would want it, it would take a lot of money.

These are 2 completely different cars IMO.

The NSX is a lightweight MR car that is designed to handle well. Kind of underpowered compared to the supra but it wasnt made for straight line speed.

The Supra is a big heavy car that can easily make power and blow the doors off of almost anything if setup correctly.

Its all about personal preference. Your buddy needs to decide, not us.

I know supras can corner, but not as good as the lighter MR nsx.

I, for one, know Supras can corner. After all, the drag strips, dynos, and car show red carpets aren't all lined up in a row for them to get to. They have to turn at some point to get to the next one.

zing! who cares if they can handle? they're one of the worst designed cars ive ever seen. hahaha. i used to dream about having big power under my right foot. i got a little bit of a taste with my S14, and its just not worth the price (to me). everyone is different, and every time the "supra vs _____" thing comes up, people forget that.

Supras were raced competitively in JGTC as well. I dont get your point.

People try to draw a line and say the NSX qualifies as a supercar and the supra doesnt. If the NSX is such a supercar, then why the fuck is it so fucking slow. Bottom line is, both cars can be tuned for amazing performance... but the Supra is indeed an equally awesome car as well. Sure, lots of detail went into building the NSX... but all of that doesnt mean shit if the car fails to perform (which it often does), hence the reason you read nothing but complaints from NSX owners when they get beat by faster cars (anything from Corvette to MR2 Turbo or 240 Turbo). There was even a FWD Sentra turbo that blew the doors off of the Science of Speed over-priced, over-hyped racecar. Like I said, many cars can be build to go fast.


I agree with the above statement, because when you buy a car you buy it for the very reasons YOU feel are important, whether its emotional attachment to a car, tunability, etc. Not because some fucks on a forum vote for you.. thats fucking retarded.

Truth of the matter is, the NSX is a great car but insanely expensive to tune. The Supra is a very close, if not equally as good of a car... and also expensive to tune, but actually brings fucking results. Both look sexy, although I am biased towards the NSX appearance. Though, I'de never want to work on a mid-engine car and therefor, I lean towards the Supra as it appeals to my basic appreciation for FR cars.


Tell your friend that Mike says quit being a pussy, go for broke and buy both. Wife? Children? Who needs that shit. You'll have a Supra and an NSX, you can get laid simultaneously.. all you gotta figure out how to clone yourself.

shortyman4065

HaHa well put lol, well we were talking to his dad and his dad did say he might just buy both since we're making such a big deal out of it. We even discussed whichever car he doesn't get, I might be able to put a down payment on the other one and pay his dad off but for a way cheaper price than he'll be buying it for. His dad's cool that way and he's been my best friend since forever ago and it would be a sick deal cause I wouldn't mind having either of those cars. So if he takes the NSX I'll have a nice supra, or if he takes the supra, then I'll have an "almost" exotic car. IMO it's a win win for me, and now I'm pretty excited about getting a new car. Thanks for all the comments and votes, much appreciated.

line up a stock supra against a stock NSX on a real legitimate track. one with lots of turns and whatnot. which do you think is going to walk away from the other?? you could spend $1,000,000 on a fucking pop can, and turn it into a car that does circles around a supra.. stock for stock, the NSX is MUCH more a drivers car. that is undisputable.

as far as NSX owners getting beat by "lesser" cars. there are too many variables to place blame on the car. not to mention the NSX is OLD tech by todays standards. it wasnt a car intended to be modified (i would imagine), it was just built to work right out of the box. and it certainly did that. making power is expensive and IMO, not necessary.

you cant really discount that each car has its potential, as well as appeal to different types of people.

i still would rather have an E46 M3, personally. caged, gutted, suspension, LOUD and raw. the exterior is a thing of beauty directly off the showroom floor.

well of course if the other cars are built up they will be faster. im sure a neon srt4 could blow the doors off alot of cars lol. no doubt the supra is a nice car as well.

If NSX owners are drag racing their cars, no doubt they bought the wrong car for the wrong reasons lol. Even 70s-90s 911s are not super fast cars by todays standards, hell they where typically just like VWs with flat 6s, but once built up they are pretty good, and sought after collectors cars (dont start with the "they dont drive them/leave them stock "bs). Porsche owners dont typically drag those cars.

but who cares, if the OP's friend is one who doesnt appreciate a good built car, and will probably beat on it, let em take whatever lol

ah yes, an E46 M3... which would get its "NEW tech" over-priced, over-weight ass handed to it by a properly built E30 M3.

old tech and new tech doesnt really apply. there are so many old-tech carb'ed beasts out there that can (and will) anally rape these new cars of today.

the majority of how a car performs is about weight and proper tune. you have the NSX with its what, 2-piston front brakes (which work well) and the supra with its massive 4-potters that tend to be, like the 300zx, insufficient for their weight. I just find it ironic that out the box, the NSX is the most balanced of the sportscars... but also the underpowered one. It is what it is.

hOngsterr

i'd get a supra, haha.
but the nsx are somewhat rare,

my friend bought his supra off a guy that was moving back to japan and
didnt know if he should of taken his NSX or Supra, and decided to sell the supra.

but yeah man nsx has more info behind it, and sits fucken low.


it always comes down to personal opinion

If i had the money, smaller, lighter, n/a car ftw. Nsx owners don't drive around looking to drag race with people. And underpowered, not imo. Take lotus for example.

check out youtube's lotus with k20. and if you just want a rare car, buy a damn vw thing or something.

Okinawandrifter87

NSX for the win.

I bought a 1994 Toyota supra N-A for my 18ths birfday. and its the love of my life. I'm sure if u got a TT you would be soooo happy. I mean. NSX is a nice car. But there's something about a supra that is so satisfying. there both nice cars, but supras IMO are just more (user friendly) if u ask me. just a BPU set up is simple yet very effective. and with a good tune ppl get up to 450 WHP on stock twins. I say the supra. Not because i have one but because there awesome cars. u wont regret either one u get tho i dont think. GOOD LUCK!!
