RX-7. Because Supra is 500+ lb heavier and looks like a potato.

Once you said straight line that ruined it. It was Rx7 all the way before you said that.
If you're gonna get a straight line car why go through all the trouble to import one? Just go get an old American car.
Straight line car when the world is full of turns? Straights were created just to get to the next turn, where all the fun really happens.

I must be missing something. Why are you importing cars that were sold here.

Supra for a straight line car, bigger power potential and much more reliable.

It's virtually impossible to legally import and register cars that don't meet the 25 year exemption. You can easily ship a car here but getting it to clear customs and be released to you is a different story. Why risk being scammed for cars available here.

I lived in Japan for a few years and did the research to get a car back, I pretty much got to know the ins and outs of the import laws.
Im actually not sure how he plans on doing it.
I think by the time im ready to buy, in about 2-3 years, i can get a 92 version of either cars, and it meets the 25 year law.
The actual car itself is also cheaper in Japan than here. But thats before shipping and other fees of course.
So your going to go through all this trouble to import a 92 supra or rx-7? Did they change the body styles in Japan early? Both timeless bodies started in 1993. Supras started in Dec of 1992 and technically there's not even a 92 RX-7. That was the year the redesign was suppose to happen and they actually kept selling the 91s instead. Seems like a big waste of time just to ride around in a ugly car with the steering wheel on the wrong side, lol.

ZDan, quick question regarding your LS swapped RX7, how is the mpg on that? I know you mentioned it before in another thread, but that was quite a while ago. Thanks!
