I just learned about this car before yesterday and that shit looks so good to me, I can't believe it's been made in 1994.

What other cars am I missing out on?

It should cost 5~7 times the US price where I live

the ACM eagle looks badass, and I also like the lada niva and the alfetta.

though what appeals to me is the 'modern' look of the supra. I'm also an absolute peasant on cars, I barely have any interest on them, most of the time.

I had no idea what you meant, googled and by the picture I suppose that's a meme.
Do you know how I managed to find about this car?
I recently began using linux, visited /g/ a few times, visited the desktop threads - there they call 'beautifying' desktops for showing 'ricing'. I had no idea what the term meant. Looked up, google image'd it, arrived at funnyjunk or some sort of shit like that, then I saw it was related to cars, saw car memes, saw /g/ memes, then I saw a supra...
and the rest is history.

>>14464577
>rice
no m8, tis brazil here.
our taxes are so ridiculous that the cars we make (meaning, fabricate) are sold here roughly a third more expensive than the value they're sold in mexico and elsewhere.
I.shit.you.not.

>>14464510
I wasn't, bro, thanks

>>14464545
pic related brought a tear to my eye, no joke.
If I had pic related I'd be king in brazil

A thought I couldn't stop thinking after finding about supra was: that looks sexier than the new camaro. And so does this beast.
>>
>>14464577
>rice
thought you were talking about japs, lmao.

I'm really new to the term.

But yes. Everything that resembles a hobby in brazil is devilishly expensive. Putting together a $1000 PC will literally cost you 6.4x more, in the bare minimum taxes, and I'm sure there are special taxes they can pile in based on a protectionism policy that makes no sense whatsoever, considering that many of these interests often have no national production.
>>
>>14464878

It's a quote from The Fast And The Furious that perfectly illustrates why the supra is currently a meme car, though it wasn't always this way.

All these kneel to the true Speed King of the 90s. Thats right it's a Typhoon/Syclone. Stock to stock none of thses cars could catch either truck
>>
>>14465024
It's 1000 pounds heavier than a FD but makes the same power and is automatic only. The Typhoon might launch faster from a standstill but that's it.
>>
This was new in 1993
>>
>>14465046
more torques, awd, autos shift fast and never miss. FD's are hard to launch because lol no torque and boost. theres a fine line between bogging the engine and blowing the tires off it.

Only better for drag racing from a standstill

Despite being harder to launch, the FD is still faster in quarter mile and 0-60mph than the typhoon. The typhoon would have no chance against a FD in anything other than stoplight racing.
>>
>>14465046
Thats funny cause lambo, ferrari, and porsche couldnt catch these little fuckers either. to their limited top speed they crushed everything in their day. And the typhoon was the fastest production suv untill the cayenne turbo turned the boost up in 2008
>>
>>14465122
What they told dot and what the trucks did are 2 different storys. Off the showroom floor 0 to 60 was 4.5 secs. I doubt a stock fd did that.

Not the Typhoon. It was the faster Syclone that beat the Ferrari 348 in the Car and Driver test, it was a drag race and the Syclone only won because it launched faster. Even Car and Driver admitted the 348 was faster once they got going. And the 348 was only the entry level Ferrari. Forget the Typhoon, even the Syclone would lose handily to a Diablo, F40, or 993 GT2.

>>14465163
The Syclone tested by Car and Driver did 0-60 in 5.3s. The Typhoon would have been slower because it was the same drivetrain in a heavier body.

For comparison, the early model 255hp FD did 0-60 in 5.2s. The later 280hp ones did it in 4.8s.

I think the FD RX-7, the Ferrari F40, and the Honda NSR500 kind of represent the end of an era. They were the best that a purely mechanical vehicle could be. Computers were clearly the way forward (F1 had shown that), but those 3 ended the last century on a high note.

The FD had ABS and EBD though.

Not him, but the base models came in before the GT-R did. I forget the exact dates, but they were still making R32 V-spec IIs when they replaced all the other R32s with R33s.

Hilariously, they also downgraded the RB20DE in the shit model to a RB20E for some reason
>>
>>14465294
LOL no they didn't. They just lied about how much HP it had. We'll lied in the sense they dynod the engines with NOTHING on them at all. So a 400hp engine actually had like 220.
>>
>>14465366
Actually those 400 hp engines from the 60s had closer to 500. Its amazing how just choking the fuck out of a holley with smaller jets and retarding the timing can drastically reduce hp output. And with the ecms of the 90s it was even easier. Im guessing you were in diapers when the cool kids were buying performance chips for their cars. I wonder if they could make a chip to reduce the output?
