you're right on about not needing to justify our purchases.

BTW: The Supra is 3.8 sec to 60mph and 12.3 sec for 1/4 miles. That is very fast in its stock form. While the appearance is subjective, the performance is quite amazing for an $55k car.

That's not a slug. 0-60 in supposedly 4.1 seconds. Not many cars do that, with a RWD V6.

It's that excuse/sugarcoating bull**** that comes with any fanboy.

I don't know when the car consumer society will learn to outgrow this stigma. In the end, yeah most of us would have Ferrari's or whatever if we could afford it. There's nothing wrong for enjoying what you have, but you don't have to go out of your way to justify your purchase.

Slug? Quarter mile was tested at 12.00 @ 118mph our Z will need a turbo kit for those times lol

I got bored by the 7 minute mark. The 86 and the Z should not even be compared. (my shot at trying to get back on topic :-))

I felt the same way. They're not really comparable.

Hope you're modded cuz.... the fastest 60 time recorded on the supra is 3.8. The fastest 0-60 on a Z was 4.5seconds... the quarter for s Z is 13.1 seconds IF U DRIVE AUTO? 13.3 for manual. Its 12 seconds on a supra. I wouldn't be racing for pink's if I was you there buddy. Its great to love and prefer your car. Its another to have delusions of grandeur. Lol.

And lastly. Supra has the modding advantage. It's designed with the plumbing for easy turbo upgrades and such. The car was designed to be easily modded. In this generation of lackluster cars. The supra is a gift.

It might be a gift, but it’s a fugly gift.

:iagree: The Z is too different for this comparison.

Your $30k Z would get stomped into the ground. Don't look at the horsepower. Look at the torque.

They dynoed 421lbs tq. That's nuts. I think a Z dynoed at around 258lbs on a stock motor. You need to put an 86 motor on top of the VQ to be in the same torque family as a supra

NISMO vs the gutless wonder!! 86
 
Yep. That’s one fast BMW!!! But I can’t get past the fake vents and weird looking roof line. There’s just something off about the way it looks.

Yeah dude, but that's different and many times requires alcohol. I would not suggest drinking to make the Supra look "acceptable". :icon14:

I hear ya, but apparently fake vents are making a huge comeback! They're all the rage these days!

To be fair, on the Supra they are designed to be removed to allow for more airflow and aftermarket coolers. So turning them into functional vents doesn't sound like a big deal. Toyota left a lot of meat on the bone with this car. There is all kinds of room for improvement.

Also, its looks are growing on me. I saw one with an old style supra wing on it... :yum:

For that price, I'd take a Corvette over this wheeled turd toyota any day.


No offense to Toyota.

Seriously, couldn’t they put just one more sharp angle on it? It looks like the offspring of a 370z and a Pontiac Aztec.
