The F40 beat it to quarter of a mile though
, the Supra only gained at high speeds.
F40 anyday.

Like some of the people say...the F40 isn't highly tuned. 13`sec 1/4 mile with 800bhp lol. There is a vid of the same supra racing a Mac F1...unreal how quick the Mac pulls away.

13.2 1/4 for a F40.. Thought it'd be alot quicker than that... A decent spec STI will do that... And as for the 13.7 for the Supra, that's only slightly quicker than mine..

I'm pretty sure that the "official" 1/4 mile when the F40 was released was somewhere around 12.4 secs at 124mph, although someone may prove me wrong.
Whilst they're both great cars in their own way, it still sounds better to say "I drive an F40" than "I drive a Toyota" or "I drive a decent spec STi"

13.xx is a time the Supra will do absolutely bone stock.
However, anyone who says they wouldn't swap their Supra for an F40 is lying through their teeth - and I have one!
Interesting fact: apparently, when it was released, the only production car with more powerful brakes than the Supra was the F40.

Personally, I wouldn't care if the Supra driver had time to get out the car and have a w*nk, I'd still drive home in the F40.

F40 for me, it can still out accelerate most of the modern supercars.
I think Top Gear did a test betwwen supercars of the Thatcher era and supercars of the Blair era.

Fairly impressive, but if you want to see something really good check out google video and the X1 electric car, it pounds a Ferrari and a Porsche GT
No car on the planet will out accelerate it except the Veyron, which cost's 8 times as much!!!

The F40 "only" has 478bhp. A lot in its day, but not much these days, though it is heck of a lot lighter than most supercars of today, about 1100kgs I think.

Yeah m8...I meant that on that vid the F40 was supposed to be tuned to 800bhp which it clearly wasn't. I suppose nowadays you also have fancy diffs and traction control which will ovously help the launch.
F40 all day for me!

Even by todays standards the F40 is incredibly quick.
0-60 sub 4 sec
0-100 sub 8 sec
1/4 11.5 sec
How many cars today can do that.
If my numbers come up, then the F40 is the first supercar in the garage.
Mind you i might have to get some subtle engin mods done and tweek it up to 550bhp

If you want to see what a proper F40 is capable of, then you should check out the specs for the the F40 LM.
