I agree with you, for the money you can go much faster in a Mustang then a Supra. Even on my Supra page’s I state the same thing. For the price of a base 5.0 A10, and a Centri kit, some fuel, axles and drag radials and you’re deep in the low 8’s high 7’s. I’ve seen it many times over on this forum. I don’t think I said any where on this page ever I hate Mustangs. I’ve just stated for me the Supra is a better car.OK, so add up all you've spent and if you're close to a supercharger then let's compare forced induction to forced induction. Think the Mustang wins again. I love the Supra, but I would prefer it if it were actually a Toyota vs. a rebadged BMW.
Now if we want to really compare pricing, you have to go with a premium to compare all the creature comforts are close to even. At that point the Supra will come in as the best bang for the buck. it just takes about 2k to get the Supra running in the 10’s, e50 tune and a 400$ downpipe. That’s it, a good track, 2nd gear launch with the stock tires runs high 10’s.
but to get the Supra reliable in the low 8’s cost a ton of money. Like a full mustang and the fi and everything.
Costs for me, my 18 5.0 msrp was 52k I paid 39k, I had easy 15k into it. My Supra was bough as is at 55k, it msrp at 54 and that guy put 15k into it roughly. My mustang got about 11mpg city 22hwy on e85, made 465whp ran 12’s here in Vegas ran 11’s 60-130 and besides the shitty trans was a great car. My Supra get 23mpg city, 35hwy on e50, made 505whp almost 600lbft, runs high 10’s and low 8’s 60-130.
