Wow...

 

[Sluggo]

Wont Play

 

[PistachioByAzul]

Hmm, just checked and link works fine.

 

[Sluggo]

Worked this time around, that Supra takes off like it was shot out of a gun.

 

[yakko]

Damn that's fast!

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

Apart from the MustangII and the Coupe, I'll take a mint condition vintage Mustang over a Supra any day.

<< I'll take a mint condition vintage Mustang over a Supra any day. >>



I wouldn't.

 

[Soybomb]

*yawn* hehe
I get a big kick out of going and watching Gary Donovan's 85 Reliant K-Car run the 1/4 in 10.86@127. Betcha' didn't know k-cars with 4 clinde engines went that fast

 

[yakko]

FFMCobalt,

I would have until I sat in one. Damn that was uncomfortable.

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

I've ridden in a 67 and a 68, and I find them very comfortable. Even when I'm used to riding in my mom's Lincoln TownCar, I think the vintage Stang is comfortable. I still would take the Mustang.

WELL NO SH!T THAT SUPRA WASTED THE MUSTANG... it's a MustangCoupe. Those suck ass, stock. Even with the 5.0 302, they're crappy unless you do some modifications on 'em.
Technically, yes, it is a Mustang. But it is a car that is not worth of the Mustang name!

/me wishes i had a supra
i heard they are expensive to maintain though, any truth to that?

 

[Vortex22]

Yeah they probably are...
Nevertheless, that is the one and only car that I have wanted since I first saw one

 

[Mutilator]

Import sports cars usually are expensive to maintain.. I'm probably gonna be finding that out soon about my 95 3000GT :|

 

[Viperoni]

I wonder how many horses he's packin.
Prolly 600 or so...

 

[Raspewtin]

&quot;i heard they are expensive to maintain though, any truth to that? &quot;



I have one (96 Supra Turbo) and it's not at all expensive to maintain. I love it.




<< I'll take a mint condition vintage Mustang over a Supra any day >>



the vintage part sounds appealing, depending on how old it is.

 

[Eug]

The 2001 Supra is also uncomfortable, as is the Acura NSX, etc.

Edit

Doh! what was I thinking? I meant 2001 Celica. (The NSX was from 1990 I believe.) But the old Supras weren't that comfortable either. But then again I'm comparing to luxury sedans.

 

[vi edit]

I thought supra's were discontinued about 3 years agon?

 

[Triumph]

i'd love to see those K-cars spanking the pants off of people, but that whole site is in )&amp;@!#$)(*@#$@$@#()$*@#) $@# REAL MEDIA!!! I HATE REAL MEDIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Antisocial Virge]

wow That supra really hooked up.

 

[vi edit]

The best part of the video was when the guys behind the video busted out laughing

My friend has a Special Edition Surpa TT. Now, I am no pro auto critic, but even when the car revs high, I really can't feel the boost. The boost in my 300zx TT seems a lot more profound, even though I am supposed to be 20hp less. What I will give that car is it's handling - it is AWESOME. Even when I put my handling in sports mode, it doesn't even compare to his cars handling.

Anyhow, my friend also owned a Mustang GT. The GT was much faster off the line. So, the Supra is nothing special, unless it's a Paisley Racing Supra. Their car can do an 8 second quarter mile.

That's good, you don't want the turbos to spin up late. This probably means that the turbos are spinning up really early which means a beefier torque curve.
