Never seen this before. Not surprising result for a tuner car in my experience:

It appears the M3 lost the drag race. Then, during the track test portion, the Supra lost control during the high speed turn ending the comparison.

Ok, I thought maybe there was more to it than that. Good video.

The lesson here? The Supra was a fast car to begin with, and tuning it makes it even faster, but Toyota didn't come close to matching BMW when it came to chassis development (yes, I know the Supra is much older, but the new Lexus performance cars, IS-F, RS-F, have the same issues).

not fair. 1993.5 vs 2008? even though the gtr and nsx outperformed it on most tracks it was still a great sports car for its time.

I'm surprised nobody caught the amount of stretch on the rear tires of the supra, totally disallowed video on these forums.
