I bet my left nut, my right nut, both eyes and your left nut that if the owner of the $200k lambo puts $100k into modifying his lambo (50% of the price) the supra would have been smoked. It's also clear that the lambo slowed down in the second run when the supra overtook.
You can't compare stock with modified.
A friend of mine had an old beetle with modified porche engine in it, and it would do wheelies, and run like hell... that doesn't mean I'd take that over a porsche ;)

I actually care to disagree. Alot of it is the evolution of the car. The Supra has been so modified by so many different companies that you can go out and spend 50k on a Supra that will put out somewhere in excess of.... I think something stupid like 1800 horsepower. If you spent 100k on a Supra and 100k on a Lambo you'd quickly find that the Surpa would be faster, and if you broke something, ( motor ) it wouldn't cost 50k+ on the Supra to build a new motor.
If the Lambo had a huge aftermarket, the parts to make them faster wouldn't be so expensive. I just ordered a new factory replacement engine ( my Supra engine was getting tired with 108,000 miles, 40,000 of those miles at 550+ horsepower ) for only $2000 US. The engine is known from the factory to handle almost 1000 horsepower.
