Message Both the RX7 and the Supra have a sequential turbo configuration which makes the power seem not as strong as the Z's parallel turbos. In all reality, it just depends on the particular car and driver since their stats are pretty similar to one another.

As far as the Z's grace goes, I'd agree as long as the turns are long and even. The car's roadholding is very strong and stable at high speeds. The Z's bulk really comes to play when you're trying to throw the car around sharper turns. The weight being shifted around can really unbalance the car.
