Its all personal perception though, supra guys wonder why people blow all their money on f-bodys, or mustangs etc. and vice versa. or could it just be ......... way2fast way2furious ?

But i do like the car, it's a dog from 0-60ish but after that it pulls and keeps on pulling. This is a stock car with full exhaust i'm talking about. From 0-100ish i wouldnt be worried, the 350Z can hold one(be it an auto) for that long. After a 100 is another story, i dont know why but the supra pulls very well uptop.

The EVO is the only car that hasn't been a FR that you were impressed with. I know how you like the roll on capability that these have. and how you like to wind out until top gear. the only reasons you shouldn't get one is the seating capacity (since you have a family and all) and because new EVOs have warranties. I don't care if it delays the innevitable modding, the warranty is such a nice feature. -------------------- -The original (member) 007.

Probably not the most efficient way to spend your money, but on the other hand, you'd definitely get the "double-take" effect driving a MKIV around. Guess it depends on what you really want. Want a quick, superbly handling, nimble car? Get an Evo. Want a dyno destroying, Viper killing, highway monster? Get the Supra. Want both cheaper, mod the hell out of a DSM.

For this type of power/$ ratio, the supra has met its match, at least in this particular case. What do you think? I for one am VERY impressed. Imagine the possibilities with a turboback, weight reduction, lighter wheels, clutch and flywheel!! Comments, Nomie

The 3/s community now has the option to install JDM gears which (gasp!) give similar ratios to the supra! Its for the 6-speed only... what do you guys think??

Sure, it was a lot of work but you still can't beat the feeling. Buy a nice (newer) 3000 Vr4 and put whatever you have left over into modifications. I'd buy a 3S car long before I bought a Toyocrapper Supra. -------------------- "I hear he tunes the space shuttle also...and that thing is fast"

Not to mention god awful amounts of power that is possible -------------------- Yeah!!!!!!!!!!! AND WASH THAT THING OFF BEFORE YOU COME BACK!!!

The 350 didnt pull very well on the VR4 last night, it was feeling a bit slow. But the last time it pulled better....you mod the VR4 more and not tell me?
