I'm not sure what you're getting at here but Supras handle really good stock and can be made to handle even better.

Not compared to cars in its price range of the German verity it doesn't. At 3486 lbs this thing is a real Lotus. :lol:. This is after many lightweight components, shit, they even used hollow carpet fibers :lol:. To get this thing track worthy it needs a serious diet. Why do you think the Supra isnt the first choice of many road racers? The JGTC and Factory sponsored cars are irrelevant, thats a publicity thing. Im talking about racers who actually have a choice of car. Just about the only place to find a Supra is at a drag strip. It handles well stock, yes, but not for its cost ($50K+ new $30k used). Its price puts it in with too many far superior German cars. The 933 was in that price range. You would have saved a BUNDLE getting a M3 ($38k). Or even the FD Rx7.




It just doesnt stack up at that price range

Im sorry.


It was stupid, the plot is just useless. Either watch it stoned, or pretend its just a bunch on skits together. There are only a few good parts, not worth the $ to see it

I need to slow down. I got my teg about one 1 1/2 months ago. The week after I got it I did the auto-mani b1-c1 swap. The next week I sent it to get paint. 2 weeks pass by. It might be done next week. Then, when it comes back I'll turbo it.

BMW's are crap. FD's blow up. Porsche is nice. The 993 Carrera is almost identical to the Supra in terms of performance but it does cost about $10k-$15k more. They both run low 5's to 60 and mid 13's in the quarter. They're handling on the skidpad and the slalom is inferior to a stock Supra as well as the brakes. That adds up to pretty good deal. It's an undeniably good car. Tell me how a car that is $10k less and performs better doesn't stack up? The 993 Carrera 2 is running mid to low .9's G on the pad and mid 60's through the slalom. The Supra does better in both categories

As for the racing, I'm not sure about over there but around here Supras are all over the road courses yet I've never seen a single one at either of the dragstrips in Houston
