What s quicker in a drag race - a Mk4 Supra with 40k worth of mods added to it, or a Mazda RX-7 from 1983 that s been absolutely stripped out and is now used as a time attack car? Well, it s time to find out! So let s see how these two compare. Starting with the Supra, the original 3-litre straight-six twin-turbo has had one of the turbos removed, while the original automatic gearbox has been swapped for an 8-speed ZF gearbox from a BMW 530d. It s also fitted with a transbrake that ll help to build up boost and propel it off the line. All of this means the Supra can produce an incredible 700hp and 780Nm of torque. It tips the scales at around 1, 500kg, and to buy this exact car would cost around 80, 000 - 40k for the base car, and 40k for the mods. Then we have the RX-7, which has had so many mods applied to it that it s hardly even an RX-7 anymore! Under the bonnet you ll find a 2-litre 4 cylinder from the original Civic Type R which has also had a turbo added to it, and it s also fitted with a manual gearbox from a BMW 330d. Given it s a time attack car, it has been absolutely stripped and added with tonnes of aero, and it now tips the scales at just 840kg! But there s also a special guest contender to take on both of these cars - a 911 Carrera T! It s fitted with the standard 3-litre turbocharged flat-six, and this can produce 385hp and 450Nm of torque. It weighs in at 1, 470kg, but the question is, will the power-to-weight ratio help it propel itself to victory? There s only one way to find out for sure LET S RACE!

The RX7 owner had the best idea and something that Mazda should have done themselves to the RX7 and RX8, get rid of that crappy dumb rotary! Rotary engines are pure unreliable, oil burning, constant rebuild needing, utterly horrendous mpg (rotary fans love to brag about its high output per litre when in reality it has the mpg of a 7ltr V8 but minus the power and especially torque) sewing machine sounding shite! With its 4 pot turbo engine it will now have reliably more power and way, way, way more torque. Who would ever want an engine that needs very expensive rebuilds in sometimes less than 50, 000 miles? I wonder why it was only Mazda that stuck with rotaries after the 70s?

That s a typical thing with the turbo charged supras. They not fast till the turbo takes a century to build up boost. Then it dumps its power all at once and breaks your back, because it pulls off so fast

Whifbits? Is that Paul Whiffin who used to do crazy stuff with turbo minis and had an absolutely beautiful Miami Blue Turbo Mini Clubman saloon!
Nice to see he's still at it with the fast motors!

That's not an RX7 that's a Honda right there
If you say Honda K series engine are best not all Honda K engine are made the same and not all K20 is good to tune some are single cam with no Vtec

The Supra is not worth 80K, adding mods to a car doesn't immediately raise its value, those mods would have to be highly desirable. In this condition it would be worth less to me than stock.
reply

The rx7 owner is crazy not to use an rx7 fd engine if he used the Bathurst version it has 280 horse power with out mods and if he did the mods properly it would have the atless 600 horse power

Finally some love love for FB, beautiful little machine. But Supra impressed me here, probably the Supra I'd want most with that gearbox and just the right ammount of power. :D
reply

I don't want to be toxic, but either that rx-7 is crap, or the driver
13. 2 for 1/4 really?
And I have no words about time attack ) car braking distance

reply

Petition to make all cars have ABS and have the option to install something similar on more olden day vehicles. Especially after watching that RX-7's brake test.

i ve driven a carrera T with Michelin Sport Cup 2 tires and it HOOKED. manual gearbox, short shifter and lighter than factory wheels. thing was a beauty to drive
reply

Im sorry an automatic supra, a mazda with a honda engine and a dude who thinks he can beat a 700bhp car with a 385bhp car. got to be the worst carwow episode.
reply

For me the Supra mk4 is beautiful from EVERY angle. The car has not aged looks wise passing the test of time, the same will not be said about new one.
reply

I was expecting Sam is going to whip out the 911 turbo s instead of The 911 Carrea T. Anyways, the brake test is probably expected LOL.
reply

I might be uneducated but this is the first time seeing a 7 speed manual. is like the 2 extra fingers in Bruce Almighty ridiculous
reply

80 grand for a supra JdM was supposed to be accessible for the younger generation, that was the whole point of the JdM premise
reply

I've been waiting for this video comparison for a long time and only you Matt can give me the emotions I was looking for
reply

This is what makes all the 12 year old kids think the supra is the fastest car in the world that can easily beat a Bugatti
reply

Something really wrong with that hozda! 13. 2sec can do an n/a way heavier type-r. Bin that project! Time attack.
