I need your help. There is a 89' supra. It is a turbo . It is about four grand but looks excellent. I'm curious how much horsepower do you think it has. thanks

It's a damn fast car. It's got lots of potential for improvement and the engine is bullet proof.

An 89' huh, wouldn't that be a 1st gen Supra? If so, go for it. I don't think the looks of the 2nd gen can compare to the looks of a 1st or 3rd gen Supra. Great car to mod, get it man!

yup the supra MARK III. those handles poorly in stock form. but you can easily get power out of that car. no problem too bad it looks really out dated esp compared to a mark IV. i personally think the MARK II looks the best. when it still looked like a celica.

actually polygon you got the generations wrong. the first gen supra was the celica supra. then the second gen is the first pic you posted, then third gen is supra mark III and then finally the third gen you mentioned is supra mark IV. i'm sure your family with the name mark IV. hehe

Actually, I like the 3rd gen Celicas better than the Supras. The Supra looked like a cheap body kit on the Celica IMO. Mmm, 1985 Celica GTS...

I like the mark IV Supras the most, they look so nice.

How about a mark IV Supra engine in a 85 Celica GTS?

a 2jz engine in a 85 Celica?lol.The motor would be almost half the size of the car, but if you could how customize it to fit, imagine the capabilities of such a light wieght frame and a motor that can easily smoke a ferrari with about 2g's invested into it.
