Lets first get all the specs:

1990 Supra turbo:
Horsepower: 232 hp @ 5600 rpm
Torque: 254 ft-lbs. @ 3200 rpm

2002 Wrx turbo:
Horsepower: 227 @ 6000 RPM
Torque: 217 ft-lbs. @ 4000 RPM

2001 Mustang Gt:
3.8L 190 hp V6
Horsepower 190 @ 5250 RPM
Torque (lb-ft) 220 @ 2750 RPM
or
4.6L 260 hp V8
Horsepower 260 @ 5250 RPM
Torque (lb-ft) 302 @ 4000 RPM


So as we can see, the supra, if running optimally, should take on the wrx as it has more torque kickin' in at a lower rpm and a little extra hp also at kickin in at a lower hp, it should also have no trouble with the mustang if it's a v6, if it's the v8 then no.

Also, since when is AWD better for acceleration then rwd lol???? Maybe for offroad use or when there is low traction like snow or rain or gravel, then ok, but for street use and racing in dry conditions, RWD all the way!!!

RWD is always superrior for acceleration, that is why many sports cars and indy cars, F1 cars etc... are all RWD. Lets not forget the turbo supra's rear differential is a LSD differential on all turbos. Also, awd is heavier and loses more energy transferred to the wheels as opposed to a RWD
