Well a cousin of mine is thinking buying another car. He's kind've confused, He's owned an FD, but had to sell it a while back. So now he has his eyes on the new STI's and on a Supra. I just wanted to see what FD owners would choose if it was up to u guys. His looking for performancea and looks.

thnx hope to get some feedback.

I'm the first to actually vote on the poll. So I voted for the STi. Coilovers, boost controller, and exhaust. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif



Then...4 WHEEL BURNOUTS!

But why take a Supra since many of them are now being beat up? Unless, you can get a crate twin'd engine for this car...

Performance? In what ways?



I don't see the STI as an all out sports car, or at least when it comes to the classic idea of one.



I got burned for saying this on SF (for some reason) but I just don't see the STI/EVO as being a sports car. Sure, its a "Sport" to rally, so to say, and its in a car, but its just not a "Sports car" as we've come to know (small, 2 doors usually, rwd, powerful, different, rare..).



So, what my point is, is does your cousin want a sports car? The STI has a sedan look, as "Good" as it is (I love it over the EVO and its ugliness), it's still doesn't please the senses as much as the Supra does.



AWD? Sweet! Great for launching and snow and perhaps handling! But RWD is funner IMO, and AWD is something I'd want on a car I'm driving in the winter time to be safer and that's that.



My vote is the Supra, as "beat up" as some come, there are good ones left! The weight (and price haha) keeps me from them, but you can NOT deny their reliability, and power.

toyota makes great engines you just have to do some suspension mods so you are not like every other 1000hp supra that cant get traction.
