I drove a camarow this past weekend. I really liked the muscle car feel but I am verry parshal to imports. the old school supra seem to fit the bill and they are affordable for a college student like me. I live in Virginia Beach how much am I looking to pay for a 5 speed 1985-90? how do they drive as far as power and controll?

The mkIII was produced from 86.5-92, 86.5-88 being the first release, 89-92 changed the trim a bit. I think i read somewhere the 86.5 is N/A only.

I think the 87/88T has 235 crank hp from factory, I don't know if 89-92 improved on it at all. The car feels a little on the heavy side for the amount of HP you start with, but the power is easily increased. When it comes to handling I'd have to give an A- simply because to me its almost perfect for the driving I like. Awesome curb weight. If you start to slide the ass end while cornering, its likely to come around on you..[because the rear is a little too light] but as long as you can feel the fine line between spining out and gripping the shit out of the road your :smokin:

Assuming you want it turbo, 87T and 88T can run you anywhere from $1000-3500, but for $3500 it would have to be in nice cond. 89-92 I've seen go for 5K+ but were in close to garaged condition.. look for them at around 3k in fair cond.
