Message The seat of the pants sensation you get when you drive a car is often misleading. For instance, light cars usually feel like they're going faster and handling better, even if they're really not. To accurately judge the performance you need to look at the cold hard numbers.

I'll post the numbers and I'll leave it up to everyone else to arrive at their conclusion.

One thing I'd like to point out is the Supra's trap speed. A 320 hp car of the Supra and Z's weight does not pull nearly 107 mph trap speeds. Toyota under rated the Supra's HP output. If you look at them dyno, they often put nearly 300 hp to the ground stock, which would put their actual HP around 360-365 hp.
