i say supra, gets way faster way cheaper. looks better, handles better, and with engines that can get 1K hp on stock internals, i think i stock engine would be fine even after being beaten on.

HP sucks if it cant touch the ground

it cant get traction off the line, but try taking one from a 60 mph roll.

why put forth the effort of working on an opposed motor they are difficult to install anything on ... **** to install cam gears you have to pull the motor... i definitly choose the supra. if for some reason i could never own a fd again the only other car i would own would be a tt supra.

I'd go STI...it's something a little different. Sure Supras are awesome cars too, but there's getting to be a lot of them on the road. I'm sold on AWD too...there's nothin quite like spinnin all four!

I don't like AWD...I love Toyotas...I'd take the Supra...

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.

...so the rx8 isn't s sports car?...lol j/k



subie....supras go for way above their actual value, plus...nothing beats awd burnouts...



also, has he thought about an evo mr?
