Reliability: Supra of course
Performance: Very similar, but when I watched them race the seven one by like 1 millisecond.
Looks: Both cars look good, and some people say supra's look better and some say rx7's.
Price: Supra is much more expensive these days.
You can get lots of HP from both for little amount of money, but rx7 has alot better handling and is alot lighter.

I really like Supra and was looking into both cars bofore I purchased my 7. I like what everyone has wrote but... Where are these fast supras? Yes I see them on the street but look at the track... The 5 of the top ten 7 pro class imports draggers are rotarys. The Fastest (not to includ the V8 Celica that ran 7.012 at 202 MPH) is a 3rd gen 7 13B that ran a 7.023 at 199MPH. That is damn fast and way the hell faster than any Supra I have heard of. If I am mistaken then please correct me. But it is disapointing to here so many of you say that they can be made faster.
Just my opinion.

IIRC it's the first US import in the 6s.
Not that it matters, as these cars are back halved/full tube chassis race cars, and don't accurately represent a "Tacoma" or an "RX-7". You could put a Civic shell on either car and they would run the same times.
RX-7s are beautiful, fast, and rare.
The same qualities apply to the Supra IMO, but one quality that the Supra doesn't share with the RX-7 is bulletproof reliability.
