MKIV Supra Madness

[Revvv]

100% agree there. The fanboy-dom is making the prices go way up.

Similar to the earlier vipers.

I want a 1994 Viper in a bad way. That would look good with a Supra next to it.

Supra lol. I would 5.3 swap it and make big power. Someone would pay enough for a stock 2JZ that we can sleeve and TT a 5.3 and make 1,500+ and have half the money left over.

You can get a 2JZ complete motor from Japan for $2k. The fact that they put the motor in multiple other cars doesn't make the engine worth much these days because it isn't unique to the car.

The Vipers has been fairly steady now for a few years.

I just don't understand the Supras.
They are pretty far from pretty, cool or even nice looking in my opinion.
They're good cars, sure I can buy that argument. They seem like they're rock solid for modifications.
But at these prices? For what? In the end it's just a Toyota. It's not a Toyota super car of any sort. Can't be compared to a Honda NSX imo as the old NSX is in a whole different category. It's a poor-mans supercar, like a Viper. (Not anymore they are tho).
But the Supra is just like any Mustang, Camaro, BMW M3 whatever. Their handling is moderate at best, tons of power and a rear seat.


But cars are worth what people pay for them. And people do pay a lot of money for these.

Raced a modded Supra last year in my Viper. Neck and neck with eachother from slow roll to a bit over 200kph where we stopped. My car is stock.
But also quite an unfair comparision, just like with an NSX.

That works too but that's not what I meant. I meant other factory Toyotas like the Soarer and Aristo that utilize the 2JZ.

I think most people are going to think more along the lines of aftermarket applications on different brands. There's also a guy floating around with a 2JZ in an sn95

I am with you on this. Cool cars but not that cool. They pop up on BAT from time to time and a very nice one is >$90k. This is solidly in very nice GTR money at those prices, which is far superior in every way IMO.
