So I've been hearing /o/ say a lot of shit against the Supra. This is one of the best cars ever made in history, it's fast, it's fun.
Stop hating /o/.
>>14804462
It has less horsepower than the equivalent Nissan Altima V6/Maxima
A good one sells for $20,000 to $40,000 on craigslist.
The backseat is useless, the motor is too heavy, you made a bad thread and for that money you could have bought a Chevy [c6]
its fat
its ugly inside and out
its fanboys are annoying
its overrated
its overpriced
the only good thing is its engine cant think of a single other good thing about it

>A good one sells for $20,000 to $40,000
Only if you live in Burgerland
>>14804462
/o/ hates everything. Get over it and like what you want
>>14804484
It's only relevant in burgerland

>>14804481
You can increase HP by a shit ton and still use it as a daily and don't forget the value is high because it's actually a good track car. Overrated though? Not at all. You can release it's potential at anytime.

You can say this statement regarding the vast majority of all motor vehicles.
>>14804472
Checking if I'm banned before writing a long post
>>14804506
you can do that with almost everything
I dare say a Mustang or Camaro can do all the same for much less money
>good track car
you only see them on drag strips and highways
>>14804524
You could have just said "I'm a fast and furious fanboy" instead of writing a long post out.
>>14804472
Cool, not banned. OK, price is true, a good supra in original condition will sell for that price. Or one that has been worked to a over 500hp.
While they make similar or less power as a v6 Nissan, those engines also have half a litre of extra displacement, and probably don't make the same torque. And, the ease of making power with a supra. Wind up boost for starters and get plenty of extra power. And that's with just a new boost controller.
>>14804539
You've presumed I was referring to the VQ35DE motor.
google up the VQ30DE-K
Go ahead, I'll wait.
>expecting /o/ to like anything that isn't a twingo or ae86
>>14804539
>wind up the boost
good luck finding a TT supra for under 30k,
let alone: good luck finding a twin turbo supra,
even then they were nose heavy
>>14804481
the transmission
>>14804571
I have. And its a 2000-2001 kai engine. 2jzs were from 93 onwards and stopped in 2000. Maybe a better comparison would be an engine around the same years? And yes, the same displacement not the 3.5 correct.
>>14804586
I'm not sure I understand this. I'm from Australia so finding a TT Supra is easy and if push came to shove importing one is not that difficult.
The base supras had a 51:49 weight balance. That's nearly perfect.
>>14804586
>>14804626
Just to add, that is a base SZ non turbo Supra. The TT was around 53:47, so yes, a bit nose heavy
>work at Lexus dealership
>every other car is a 2JZ
>>14804481
only ugly in and out is valid and many (not me) would disagree
>>14804571
vq30de
193 PS (142 kW; 190 hp) to 230 PS (170 kW; 230 hp) @ 6400 rpm
205 to 217 lb·ft (278 to 294 N·m) @4400 rpm
VQ30DEK produces 226 PS (166 kW; 223 hp)
2jz

46.0 kgm (451 Nm, 333 lbft 4000 rpm
It really is.
>engine engineered so well it can be pushed past 600hp on stock internal organs without having to worry about anything breaking as long as you have a good ecu tune
>good handling from factory
>reliable as fuck because toyota
>that god-like amazing inline 6 sound
>can btfo 90% of cars on the road today
>99% if tuned
fucking SLICK
>>14804693
i am delusional: the post
Based Supra is Based. But has literally too much torque for a Rwd car. So its kept to drags. Or put into TT with the 3sgte 4cylinder.
Top Secret, Jun, Blitz, Toms.. All awesome supras.
>>14804462
It's ugly
It's heavy
It doesn't handle particularly well
It has a shitty fanbase
RACE ME FROM A ROLL BRUH MORE THAN YOU CAN AFFORD PAL I LIKE THE TUNA HERE
>>14804836
the 2jz-GE is the non turbo used in IS300, GS300, SC300, Supra non turbo, ect ect. The 2jz-GTE is the twin turbo version used in the Supra and maybe some Japan only sedans. The GTE makes ~300 hp and torques, the GE makes ~220 hp and torques.
That's all from memory, so I'd look up the 2JZ-GTE on wikipedia if you want solid numbers
>>14804462
Have you ever driven a Supra?
We've got them here in Australia and it's overrated. A good car and can be made stupidity quick in a straight line but it's not the greatest thing ever. Also the back seats are useless.
>>14804866
>useless back seats
There's a reason for that
>>14804866
You must be delusional man, the Supra is the king of all cars. If it's overrated then why is it used at tracks today? Why is such an old chassis still used?
>>14804836
thats the 2jzGE.. the non turbo gimped version.. we were talking about Twin Turbos..
Seriously, learn to read, or just stick to the point of my comment.
>>14804472

>tfw my infiniti i30 has the VQ30DE-K
>>14804851
had a 2jzge supra when i was 18, they were good cars. Obviously not as good as the TT, but for a non turbo, non vvti (mine was not vvti as later models were), they were a lot of fun.
bigger tyres, brake swap from a TT and some semi cheap coilovers with the torsen lsd made a great track car that was legal for P Platers (not allowed to drive turbo or v8 etc)
>>14804849
>heavy
1480kg, lighter than any skyline gt-r
>doesn't handle particularly well
that's an /o/ maymay
>>14804836
>VQ30DEK produces 226 PS (166 kW; 223 hp)
>2JZGE produces 230 PS (169kW; 227 hp) at 5800rpm and 296Nm Torque at 3800 rpm..
And, what? The VQ30DEK gets beat again? Even by the non turbo model.
