Supra vs GTO

[yakubu]

OK, so apologies for my ignorance before i say this...

But are Supras & GTOs comparable - both 3 litre twin turbos, lots of torque, etc.

And if so which is best (I'm going to guess its the supra - but the reasons why would be good!)

Just that both are under consideration for my brothers "mid-life crisis" car which he has given me the task of drawing up a shortlist for...i want it to be something good so hopefully i can inherit it in a year or 2

The only thing I dont like about either of them is they need serious diets.

forget them both. Just buy an RX-7 - look good and go round corners...

Its already off the list as he doesn't like the look of it & the rotary engine no matter how much i tried to 'sell' it to him - no accounting for taste! Good shout all the same tho!

Reading this thread I'm surprised anyone ever manages to sell a GTO!

Well i guess my brother might have bought one if he hadn't asked me & i hadn't started this thread!

I knew the reputation of Supras was good but hadn't realised quite how incomparable they were - think i will be pointing him towards one of them

I know the comparison going on here is between the supra and GTO but why don't you get you brother to consider the Skyline R33 GTR? Its got the looks and performance to match.

I'm afraid I have to agree with my brother on this one - they are a bit too "chav"!
Great performance though, shame about image - would happily have a 'discrete' one myself
