The Supra is a 10 year old car that was the top car for Toyota, so therefore, let's compare something in that range. A supra and a Cobra, at this point, cost about the same. BTW, in the 1st gear roll (1st run), the Supra got owned by a carlength. Also remember that that Cobra is still running non-forged internals, and that was a '95, not an '03. An '03 with a T76 (what the Supra AND the Stang were running), would hand them their butts on a silver platter. I was just showing that with the same turbo, a car that costs half of what that Supra costs can keep up (the '95 Cobra). Put a 2003 or '04 in with a blower upgrade and it'll keep up. Put on a turbo instead and it will fly by. I am not saying that imports are slow; this dude in Houston, Cheesefrog, has an insane Civic hatch with a B18 swap which I saw slightly edge out a 10 second Viper. The best part was that the Civic still had its handbrake on! The only thing I'm saying is the Supra is a 10 year old car that is not all it's cracked up to be, and that a new Mustang can hold its own quite easily with them.
