No luck with Supra or WRX

Driving down 19th ave lst night I hear a LOUD pipe. Thinking it was a silly ricer, I get ready to toy with him a little bit, as I don't want to race on a street that readily has cops on it. As I look over to my left, I see a suped up Supra. Great.. 2 minutes later the same exact thing happened with a really nice looking and sounding WRX. Oh well.. my search for willing rice on 19th ave continues..

I whipped my friends supra, but its only an 85 or 86 turbo. The newer twin turbo ones would kill my max.

How would our cars do against a newer 90's NA Supra?

True, but around here most of them are. Especially the guys who run on 19th ave late nights.

You should be able to tear em a new one... they are overweight and underpowered, IIRC a 5spd 4th gen Max could probably win in a straight line.

220HP out of a NA 3.0L engine is not bad considering this was back in the 90's, and RWD. As far as its overweight, I know its not as bad as 3000GT's........isn't a NA Supra about the same weight as a NA 300ZX?

5spd 4th Gen is rated at 190HP, vs. 220HP (NA Supra) I dunno, I think its going to be a good race.
