A turbo MKIII Supra will run 15.2 stock while a MKII MR2 will get around 14.5
But the MR2 "plus points" stops right there.
Theres a huge different between an Inline 6 and a hard to reach centered 4 banger.
Just changing the exhaust and intake filter on the Supra will give you a huge benefit! (Low 14's)
As far as the rest goes, you'll have way more fun with a bigger car, and get Targa!
So my vote goes for the Supra, I6T torque, big and powerfull yet very agile and beautiful for a 10 year old car.
If you're serious about getting one, I could still consider selling mine.

First of all,thanks 4 the info.
How can u get into low 14s just by changing the filter and the exhaust...?
How much is your car doing on 1/4?
I am centering down my choice on 300zx,Mr2 and Supra...
I haven't driven any of these;therefore will have to see where's the boundary line between the look,confort and performance.

The stock turbo on a Supra will only push 6psi stock
So spooling is critical but with the stock exhaust, 2 mufflers and a Cat right in the downpipe, you have incredible lag (really bad).
So simply upgrading to a 3'' downpipe with no cat will give you around 50hp. Those are not "This P-Flow give me 15hp on my civic" statements... its been dyno-proven on supraforums.com at many occasions.
So yes, exhaust upgrade is crucial on a MKIII
As for my numbers, I'm still pretty stock but I'll be at Napi on friday... last time I went I had a blown HG.

If the supra is that much better, wanna race?
lol
Ohh yeah! :bigup:
But as far as the choice goes... it really depends on your taste...
Personally, I love big cars, targa's a blast and I got a really clean one!
But drive both before you buy anything...

i would take the mr2 anyday. looks MUCH more modern....nice and cozy, and much lighter. but it all depends on tastes. not that u wouldnt take a supra....these are basically my 2 favourite cars.
BTW for a 91-93 mr2, youll spend around $12000-$18000 maybe more for a real gem.
