Got the newest Turbo magazine in the mail this past weekend, they got these supras with all stock internals turning over 600 hp and daily driven, pretty impressive, I guess I havent noticed what they have been doing with those cars!

Yeah I noticed that too since I was looking at them when I bought my 7. They are mighty fine but the people i know who own them are pricks and refuse to race them. And on top of that those things are freaking exspensive if you want a decent twin turbo!!

they have been going up in price alot, fetching close to $30,000 and up!

Tell me about it.........their was a broken 93 that was all dented and banged up. barely running and still wnt for 23,000!!

another car the dealer couldnt give away!



The last year they sold them the dealer dropped the price by almost

$10,000 to the $30,000 range, so imagine if you were one of the poor

bastards that paid full price a few months before that, and now a new model year car is being sold for $10,000 less then what yours cost new, so basically you car just diminished in price by more then half!



I seem to rememeber some law suits.

They can do more then 600 on stock internals. I've heard of closer to 800 on the supraforums from quite a few people.



One day there will be one in the garage next to my 7 https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

they have this other one in there that is over 1000 hp

that will be my next auto purchase unless i can find a 996 gt-2 factory cup car https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif for about hte same $$





yeah right...

Trader!...haha...not really. Post pics if you do

Theres a guy in Fla. named jesus rivera who put down damn near 1000hp to the wheel and drives the bitch on the street.

So why do they have such bad times at the track....they have **** gearing or something



STEPHEN

Huh? He said it would be *next to* his 7. Thus he wouldn't be trading in his 7...

i like em but they are a little bit too heavy. ive always been happy with toyota, hell my first car was an 82 toyota starlet and it ran fine for a long time. tells ya they got something right with engine life and sports quality

I like supras and the engine kicks ass.. I have read that most of the guys who mod them out to 800+ still use the stock bottom end..so Toyota must have done something right with that.. Now if only they werent so damn expensive..

A '97 TT weighs 3515 pounds. That's about all the reasons you need right there.

ouch, thats heavy..

they don't all run bad times.



it's hard to hook all that power off the line... they can run great times at the track far easier than a much lighter FD, it really depends on the driver. The car is very capable, the heavy weight is more of an issue when you try and road race the thing. My buddy took his to gingerman and couldnt pass a focus svt driven by an instructor. Gingerman is a small technical course, a FC would be great for it though.

hehe The guy in the Mustang must have been like "WHOA!!"

Please use correct terminology -



track = road track



strip = drag strip



All you do is confuse people when you use "track" to mean drag strip...



Thank you.

6. A path or course laid out for a race, for exercise, etc.





I don't think saying 'track' specifies a road course or drag strip, it's a very general term and in my opinion is correctly used when describing either one. I personally think you are adding context to a word which the definition does not contain.



Take your slang and shove it?

yeah I got the mag, i was impressed too, too bad those cars are so damn heavy.

In that case -



SPOautos, please specify what sort of track you are talking about. Slot car track? Sidewalk? Bike path? Off-road rally course? Slalom course?



Thank you.

I believe the thread implies the context of automobile racing? But a track is by no means limited to a road course, I think others will agree.

your probably right, Ill take a FD and hope the engine last me more then a month or two, and be limited to 500hp on pump gas.

supra 3.0+liter car

rx7 1.3 liter car



another reason, i'll put a supra TT next to my vert anyday..and leave it as a nice ass stock daily driver
