The Ford Escort Cosworth (Cossie) is a 4WD 2 liter, turbocharged (220-227hp) car.

 

ALL supras have no handling when compared to other Japanese sportscars.

RX7, NSX, Evo, WRX,all have better handling.

But Supra is the fastest when fully modded. Fast acceleration + great top speed.

If I want handling I would get NSX.

 

***********T that Supra on that video sure did look like it could handle well to me!!!!!!!!!!!

 

It will certainly outhandle my civic!!

 

I dont know where you got your info globe but the supra corners at .98 lateral gs STOCK!!!(Moter Trend) I have never owned one so you cant say I'm biased. They were one the best in the slalom as well as having really equal front/rear weight distribution..... This was tested by numerous mags so I suggest going to www.mkiv.com and learn a little more about the best sportscar toyota ever made. They just don't race them as much in the gt class because of their cost and how rare they are.

 

Well it might be good, but it's just not as good as the other sportscars. Supra is too heavy.

 

I am sorry but if you could give me credible evidence such as I did-I would be willing to investigate your claim. 3480 lbs. and still .98 gs on 17s. go look under publications at www.mkiv.com.

 

supra handles excellent! it posts great skidpad g's and quick slalom speeds as well. it might be heavy but its neutral and handling is predictable. it might not handle as well as a light, 4WD such as evo or wrx but its still badass.

 

That was insane. Apparently, Swedish PD needs to invest in a helicopter.

Now, I've gotta go to Home Depot to do some shopping. I hope that video doesn't go to my head (or foot).

 

I have to second that..... The Cosworth was heavily modified, far BEYOND stock....Close to 450 HP..... Notice that during the most intense handling sections while the Cosworth was in the lead, the SupraTT would re-appear and re-gain the lead.......That Cos is AWD and insane when it comes to handling/ cornering stability..
A mod'd SupraTT can handle like a ****.....

 

ok maybe I shouldn't have said NO handling. My bad

NOT AS GOOD HANDLING. Personal experience, riding in NSX is much different than riding in Supra. Supra has the punch while NSX has butter-slippery smooth cornering that I don't feel from the Supra. Maybe driving is different.

All you Supra-lovers don't kill me. I'm a Supra lover too! But if I want a track car it'll be MR.

 

MR is much harder to drive though, i think on the street trying to keep an MR under control while pushing at the limit would be nearly impossible for anyone except a true professional, because you cannot predict everything that will happen on the streets

 

I can honestly say that the Supra is the best car I have ever owned. And facing near death experience racing with this beast, this is the only car that I feel safe taking to the limit. I brought my 94 TT 6-speed Supra up to 410 hp at the wheels, and it was stolen December 31, 2000. On new years eve!!!!!!
It is the best car to hype up period.... For a little over a grand, you can easily add 100hp to it as I did. Apex AVCR, HKS FCD, Blitz BOV, Rod millen downpipe, Greddy exhaust. And as far as reliabilty, I don't have to say anything because everyone here has a toyota badge. I have three friends that have RX7's and reliability (they can tell you) sucks. NSX cost too much to hype up. Although my friend got beat by a supercharged NSX and he has a 400hp Supra. The EVO and WRX are all wheel drive, nuff said.
If you have a chance, rent a NSX, RX7, EVO(if you can find one), WRX and freeway race a Supra, you will find out what I mean.

 

Hudidi, your supra looked SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good!!!!!!

 

Like I said Supra will be the fastest in the end.
And yes Supra will give you the least problems.

What you said is true and I agree with them. However reliability and the cost to hype up has nothing to do with handling
