Man, that's a nice looking Supra there. Is that the exact one you would get?

I've looked at both, though the current owners are reluctant to let a young guy such as myself behind the wheel.

actually can you even get a 95 supra w/o the turbos. lol I'm a little slow today.

Still definately the Supra, much nicer car than the 300ZX.

Check out SupraStore.com if you wanna see what you can do with that bad boy :)

That's from the Autolook Fine Cars in Scarboro right?? On Finch and Middlefield?? I swear I saw the 300ZX SMZ and the Supra there!! It looked exactly like that!!!

By the way I would go for the 300ZX.

It seems much more classier..although the Supra is faster with more mod potential..however that can be a bad thing in my case.

I don't wanna kill myself to early :D

<< Damn, you sure have a lot of money to burn, don't you? >>



Well, yes and no. I have enough money, but conventional wisdom says not to spend it on a fast car. But then I figure that I'll get a fast car while I'm young, drive it for a few months, crash it into a tree or something, then get a place to live, a refrigerator, a queen sized bed, a length of hose, a backyard shed, a white picket fence and a dog.

MultiLine in Jokeville has some nice cars too.

What modifications have been made to both cars?

Anyways, I'd skip both and pick up this rice free Twin-Turbo, Mazda RX-7.
The car hasn't been messed with by the owner, and if isn't fast enough
for you, the $20,000 you'll save should buy plenty of aftermarket work
that you can be completely in control of.

(Just do a search for Mazda RX-7, all Ontario to get the full listing)

Excuse me, but you are about to plunk down nearly $50,000 on a car and you don't know what you want? That's a haeell of a lot of money, especially for a &quot;young guy such as yourself.&quot; Did you win the lottery or something? If so, great! If not, are you sure you've thought it through, like insurance cost and maintenance on top of payments. What if your situation changes? Can you trade/sell the car immediately, or will you be upside-down on the loan? I'd be reluctant too, if I were either of those owners.

Tough choice anyway, I'd go for whichever one was in the best condition. If they're both perfect, I'd go for the Supra.

Both those cars have mods done on them.

Body work, some engine stuff.

The 300ZX looks sooooo damn cool in person, that photo doesn't do it justice.

Neither.. They both look like they've had the goodness beat out of them. *I* would lean towards the Supra.. but I would get one that was low mileage, and bone stock, then I would do the mods myself.

<< Did you win the lottery or something? >>



I have money from a great job, some ip I own and I just recived a not too shabby inheritance. So I did win a lottery of sorts. The dead grandma lottery. If I seem not to care too much it's because she really died like 2 years ago, she's just been hooked up to some machines for a while.

that's not $49,900 USD right? 'Cuz it sez km for mileage so I'm assuming it's Canadian or something.

BTW, being a Nissan loyalist, i would have to say 300ZX.
but the Supra has lower mileage, so tough choice.
choose the one in better condition.

The 300ZX was a Stillen modified one. Stillen had special deals with Nissan Dealers where they would sell Stillen 300ZX in NIssan Dealers. I think its called the 300ZX SMZ. They did a similar thing with Maximas..they were called the Maxima SMX.

I love the turbo timer thing on the Stillen 300ZX. The first time I drove one I was like &quot;WTF??? I turned it off... yet it still runs... &quot;.
