Used car Review 1997 Toyota Supra

Had this car two years, and have enjoyed it tremendously.
Its beautiful to look at, especially from the rear with its awesome spoiler and high tech light cluster, and turns heads all the time, real street credibility and presence-remember the Fast & the Furious!!

Acceleration is amazing,0-60 in 5.1 seconds, and overtaking easy, though real agility slightly compromised when compared to somewhat smaller and lighter sports cars-not to be thrown around on slick roads!



Fuel economy-lets face it if you have to ask then youve picked the wrong car!
Id recommend the turbo version, which engages with an awesome sound and roars up to high revs such that youre literally jolted back in your seat!

Equipment levels are standard for most of these, plenty of toys and gadgets as youd expect, but factory stereo/ICE not much to write home about, personally I installed custom set-up, Alpine, Phoenix Gold etc.

The car ran 12.96 in the 1/4 on stock tires with stock catalytic converters on the car. With just an intake and free modifications it ran 116.3 through the traps in the 1/4 mile, which is fast . . . since with some more happy modifications, it runs 118 mph through the traps and runs 12.4 on street tires with plenty more to go . . .

The motor for this car seems to be indestructable, and it seems to be the best invesment Ive ever had part of.

The cons I listed above are cons I was able to live with easily, I wouldve preferred a two seater, but it seems to be pretty convenient at times to have some extra space back there, and it helps for insurance purposes, as well. I think it shouldnt have an ashtray, because nobody should smoke in such a beautiful car, but it should have a cupholder for long trips. =)

I wanted to buy a Viper for the longest time, but had the opportunity to drive one in the recent past, and decided that the Supra Turbo was so much more refined, quicker as I modified it (and beat it in a race), and much more . . . although this car may not get the looks and attention a Viper does, Im happy to stay ahead of them at the races, etc.

I also get great gas mileage combined with its great driveability.

Not to mention the Supra Turbo is an excellent road racing car as well to take to the track . . . it not only kills at the street races, but Andi B. recently won the Texas Triathalon (Races) for the Super Street class on stock turbos! He beat Ligenfelter built Vettes, Huge Turbo RX-7s, all the Vipers, etc. Nuts. boostaholic.com

I dont know how much more to rave about this car, I love it so much . . . its about "perfect." Go Toyota MotorSports!

Pros

Reliable, Fast, Fun, Attractive, Easy/Inexpensive to Modify Reliably And Effectively

Cons

Laughable Trunk Space, Back Seats Not For Real People, Needs Cupholder Instead Of Ash Tray

Supra = excellent car! I would love to see an american car (crap!!!) take ona supra on a track! Mmm... forgot. american cars arnt really capable of going round corners... big power, okay yeah, straight line they are impressive, but they scream like girls round a corner. sorry, but on a track, they will be shat upon by little hatchbacks!!

The Bottom LineA great, fast, reliable, sporty, attractive, fun, civil, efficient, ridiculously quick and easily modifiable, etc. machine. Cant summarize how much I love the car ...
