Thinking of selling...

How much they asking for the Supra...$40,000?

Hey if you've got the money (and more importantly, the stomach to lose a lot of it...) by all means go get it. The Supra is an amazing piece of engineering.

BTW good advice from Modshack.

Good point, I would be taking a bit of a hit on the Z, though I would be regardless of what I choose to do. I am not upside down on the Z so I will keep positive about it.

When I got to a point in life that I could seriously consider buying a Supra I was a bit turned off by it due to all the rice movies glorifying it as the king ricer. Now that all that has hopefully blown over I wouldn't be embarrassed to drive one

Money is not the issue, I am more concerned with being as entertained with the Supra as I am with the Z, and given my attachment to the car I don't want to make a blind decision that I may regret down the line, as I have never spent much time with a Supra.

I will be traveling to see the car this weekend so hopefully that will give me a better idea.

My buddy had one in Yokohama, Japan where I lived. Kept the tuning within limits. Only 585hp to the wheels. BLAST to drive. I like feeling the azz break loose when you romp on it. I never really could feel that since I only had GT-R's. 4wd just wont slide out from under you. Wasnt gonna pull my fuses to make it RWD only and jack the cpu system. None the less I loved it when I tooled around in his Supra. You wont be disappointed at all. As far as the ricer movie analogy.........They have utilized the Supra, Skyline,RX-7 and Mitsubishi......so who cares. I promise you, get the Supra, make it look nice(minus the rediculous sticker tuning that some people do) and nobody will even think of you as driving a ricer movie race car.

Contrary to some peoples belief, each sticker added does not increase HP by 5.

lol duly noted on the stickers, thanks

I love the Supra as it looks from the factory, but along with the aforementioned BPU+ mods, the car has Volk TE28's and 98 headlights.

I've never heard of Volk TE28s. TE37s, yes, but not TE28s. Do you by chance have a pic? I'm curious to see what these look like. Or did you maybe mean CE28s?

Had to mean CE28's, or CE28n. I loved the GT-C's myself.

Oops, yes they are CE's, not TE's, my mistake.

Here is a picture of the car

The Supra tuned with a T-88 is just re-damn-diculous. Who cares if it has 65K on it. Depending on price that they are asking........you could easily O/H the Supra and be spending comparably the same end cost. (Depending on which 370 you bought) Keep in mind, your probably gonna take it up the

when selling the Z. Every mile you increase on the odometer/is an equivalent decrease in resale value......sadly enough.

Im a Nissan guy, but you gotta pursue your dreams bro. Plus your wife is giving you a thumbs up.......are you serious? Go for the Supra.

Very true, the car I am interested in is BPU+ putting out ~420whp, stock ct28 snails.

I understand I would be taking a bit of a hit on the Z, but I would be regardless at some point down the line even if I keep it, it will never be worth what I paid for it. The Supra on the other hand...

I am not really loyal to any brand, so I don't mind the shift, I have owned quite a few Toyota's and Nissan's.

My Z is a base with the sports package in 6MT with a few small options (MSRP just shy of $34k), it has under 4k miles. I would probably list at $29k and go from there.

Beautiful R33 btw...

NotmyGTR · 06-01-2009, 04:16 PM

Well, good luck.......whatever your choice. The Z is a very enjoyable drive, with upgraded curves that make her look beautiful. But, a dream is a dream. If you can make it a reality................
