If we could, you'd be banned! :fawk: :P

 

I forgot where this thread started. Was it about a Toyota or something? Is it even worth it to keep it going after 2 pages of nonsense?

 

Lets get it back on track and talk about the Supra. Yes, the Supras were nice cars, but they were hella expensive. I don't know much much about the 2005 Supra rumors, but I hope they are true and the car is actually affordable.

Oh the other hand, this 1994 twinturbo is really nice! h:

 

Supra has always been comparable to the Z in term of price/perf. So we can probably predict that it'll be in the 350Z price range and uses their V6 (probably a tuned 3.3L V6 that they're using for everything, like the VQ35DE from Nissan).

 

YEAH~~ I am suspecting the same idea for Supra..... A 3.3L with VVTLi equiped..... producing about 275HP. (Cuz Toyota rarely would engage in HP war) together with Toyota's undeniable quality and ergonmics..... I am really eager to see what Toyota is going to offer....... I think it will be adjusted like Celica in marketing wise... setting up a very strong competition for Z.. Also, I am suspecting they would be offering the 4.3/4.5/5.0L engine for Supra........ Or leave that for the Lexus's supercar? ^_^

 

old news...but just another confirmation....
I love to see it happen....cannot afford it, but, love to see it on the street.

 

this is the dead meat - Supra....that's the concept one.

here is the nsx

 

It's in Japanese.

 

That's a good guess, but Toyota has an excellent V-8 now. If Toyota were to bring back the Supra, which is a classic among import enthusiasts, wouldn't it make sense to use the V-8 instead of a 6? I mean, why go through all the trouble of bringing back a classic and only match the competition? Why not beat the hell out of them, if you can do it economically?

Three problems with that.

1. It may not be possible to do it at a reasonable price.

2. It would place the Supra in direct competition with the Corvette.

3. Purists may want to stick with a V-6 for nostalgia's sake.

Possible solutions to those problems.

1. Toyota's engineers are clever fellows. They MAY be able to figure out a way to manufacture a V-8 powered Supra with all the shared componentry they'd be using. How many Lexus and Toyota vehicles already use a version of the same V-8?

2. This is a tough one because it's more a matter of immage than substance. However, both Toyota and Honda have made HUGE gains in immage over the last ten years. I think they can pull it off.

3. Purists may want a V-6, but enthusiasts are more concerned with performance than nostalgia.

Obviously this is all speculation on my part, but supposedly this is the forum in which to do it. Oops! Didn't someone already get in trouble for that?
