supra hands down, those damn 300zx's have their motors crammed in there and changing spark plugs becomes a weekend project. also its very hard to cram in much bigger turbos in there. Supra owns 300zx any day

Re:better plaltform? tt 300zx or tt supra
The 300z isn't that hard to work on, my mom has one and I have friends who currently have their own little gay club where everyone drives one, turbo & n/a.
I would say go with a N/A 90-96 300z then turbo it. The motors have a bit higher compression then the turbo ones and the rear ends are lower in gearing.
My brother's roommate has like a '94 300z N/A but with the turbo body parts on it (he was in a wreck and decided to go all out since he really wants this car to be TT).
You could probably nab a supra cheaper then a Z, I have a buddy who's mom bought him a '95 for xmas, I don't think she spent an entirely large amount.
just figured I'd give the Z some props.

Bah z's are dirt cheap compared to supras thanx to the fast and furious. 
The supra is a much better platform in my opinion but both are capable of very high numbers but the supra will take well over 1000 on a stock block and is ------- bulletproof. And im not big on how cramped the engine bay of the 300zx is 
its worse than my dads vr4.

im a fan of both cars the supra like teckno said is very capable of lots of horsepower on a stock bottom end. with the 300z its a very good car but takes lots more money to make fast its really up to you on what would you rather drive

Supra TT hands down. I just love teh style of the car and how it drives...
But if you want to talk purely $$$, then 300zx are cheaper to come by and would probably be a lot faster than the price that you could get a supra TT for. In cali supras are still going for upwards of 20g and 300zx are around 10g's.. You can do the math. :P

supras....
bad *** car.
condider a RX7. alot of people hate on these, but hands down, its a bad *** car. bridge port, and a 4bbl and a open header will give you a 14sec car to start with, before a turbo (or 2) and cheaper for that matter.
