Too bad that with all those extra HP's, SA80 still could not beat NSX 3.0 around the same track with the same driver!

Not knocking what Toyota did with that car, but pumping up a version of a street car does not really make it a "supercar" in my opinion. That was the terminology I was objecting to. Since one man's supercar is another's sports car, it's all good.

While it would take the 300ZX TT, the MKIV would have its a55 handed to it by an NSX or other true supercar of the era.

Not saying it was a bad car - mainly because it was a great car. Will the new one live up to the legacy? Depends on what auto "journalist" you care to read when it eventually hits the ground. Most of them don't know sh!t from putty anyway, so I guess somebody here will just have to buy one and tell us all!

My $$$ is on Carlitos being the first in line for the new Supra.

Did Toyota run the Supra in the IMSA series. NO!!!! Super car. LOL, No where close. The Supra didn't become popular until Fast and Furious. I like Supra's, they were just not all that back in the day.

This.

When they were in showrooms, they were cool but not the world-beaters people think they were. It took the aftermarket a few years to catch up and make them the Supra we think of today. Plus, they were expensive as hell new.

They did get the hardcore domestic guys to start considering imports, though.

Not true, when I had my FD3S in the mid-late 90's going to NJ Englishtown Racway the Supra was already dominating import drag 3/4 mile drag racing pushing over 800hp. Then again you were probably drinking from a baby bottle and craping in diapers in the late to mid 1990's Lol

Ah, Nope. I was in the USAF in the early 90's. Just deal with it. Not everybody is a Supra lover.

In my neighborhood. Supra and Celica were super popular since they were the hatchbacks. I would call them the 2nd most popular car to Puerto Ricans before the KING of imports to our people. As were the rwd corolla, when they were boxy. 240z, starion conquest, and then to the average Puerto Rican. The KING of all these cars is the Mazda Rx7. They've been popular on the island and in NYC as long as I can remember. Way before F&F. But different cultures respect different things at different intervals.

Grand Turismo video game of the new supra, non the less still cool.

I hope God here you bro! but trust me... Im going to follow this car from close and I hope Toyota don't make the mistake to put a sky rocket price like happen with the NSX... well the NSX when you read the specs and HP make sense I think, but hey bro.... the rumors are that this Supra are going to have just 338hp... with those numbers on table (If are true) my bet is that the price are going to be close to the same price that the new 370z Nismo... Time will tell but if im not wrong, the new Supra are going to be my next car for sure...

Lets see what happen

Good luck with it, bro!
I hope you are able to score one, and that it's everything you want it to be.
In other words, I hope that Toyota does this one right.
There's always room for one more good sports car in the world.
Might even force other marques to up their game (cough, cough, Nissan, cough, cough).

bro! I hope that Nissan make something soon with the Z or at least make the damn IDX to compete with the Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ platform...

Stopped in here to see if this car is still vaporware. Not disappointed.

Toyota is getting as bad as Nissan at product launches.

ZCanadian · 03-13-2018, 11:45 AM

Geneva is half over. And all they did is reveal a racing CONCEPT.
And BMW does not seem to have presented its Teutonic brother there either.

I guess that a proper launch is still aways away. IF EVER.

That's the game with highly anticipated new cars. You wait and wait. The media falls for the hype and tries to whip up excitement (because "media" is all about drama anymore). Then watch dealers try to put premiums on the first ones to hit lots. For a Toyota? No thank you.

I'd really suggest going out and buying any of the the AVAILABLE, proven, good, fun cars already on the market today. New or used. By the time that's worn out, there might be a Supra on the lot for you.

I was at the Geneva auto show on the last day. I saw the new race clad Supra. Nothing awe inspiring, IMHO. I really liked the looks of the Alfa Romeo 4C (in silver) and Alpine A110 (in blue) though.
