For the amount they go for anymore I think I’ll pass, I could think of a lot better things to do with my cash. 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 .........

Honestly i would never pay the money those cars are going for....
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. |

do it. get the damn supra. I know how you drive. Let's be honest. 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.

I wouldn't wipe my ass with my evo warranty for what it's worth. Mitsubishi dealerships seem to have no idea of what a warranty is for, or how to honor it. Every significant problem they ignore or turn down because it fits their ever expanding definition of a wear item.

Tough call. 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.

they are nice cars, though they are overhyped IMO. Now spy, I know your'e not a huge fan of the 3000gt vr4/stealth, but check this out...
92 VR-4 60' - 1.703 1/8 - 7.666 MPH - 90.16 1/4 - 11.893 MPH - 118.04 <-----DAMN!! the mods you ask?? 13t's + robs work .................$838 Z06 MAFT...........................$250 550cc................................$295 Hotwired Walbro...................$100 MBC....................................$20 Gutted pre-cats & testpipe....Free GRAND TOTAL..........................~$1300 this was done with 3 gallons of 112 octane with a rich tune(.96v@WOT) STOCK downpipe STOCK exhaust STOCK clutch FULL weight Are you impressed or are you impressed? For this type of power/$ 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 |

oh yea, did somone say something about supra's and gearing? 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??

QUOTE (spyonu2007 @ Sep 8 2005, 12:48 AM) Nomie, I loved my 3S. Only recently did Shamou and I part ways. My stock 9b vr4 went 12.9 @ 105 on straight up 93 octane. Maybe the bar should be set a little higher for the 3s.... eehhhh.... first goal is to get it tore apart.

Buy a 3000GT Dan! You know you miss Shamou. 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'll jump at the chance, once I have a clutch pedal again.
