Re: supra or 3000gt

I'd probably take a '99 VR-4 over a Supra, I love the AWD and they're less expensive.

Re: supra or 3000gt

I'd rather have the Supra, but they're so horrendously overpriced that I'd go with a VR-4. I like AWD anyways.

Re: supra or 3000gt

The resale values on Supras are really high, but the repair costs on a 3000gt are pretty high too. Both cars are too heavy for their own good. My vote goes to the Supra.

I don't know for sure but I imagine the repair costs would probably be pretty high for the Supra too. I wouldn't get either unless I could afford to have them worked on because it's all one big rats nest under the hood of those things.

Re: supra or 3000gt

They're both overpriced and overweight. I like the RWD of a Supra and I think it's an overall better looking car. I also love the feel and sound of a high powered straight 6.

Re: supra or 3000gt

yea thanks to the fast and the furious the price of a good condition supra turbo is about the same as a new car. the supra is heavy but no heavier than a z28, trans am, or mustang and i dont see anyone complaining about their weight. plus it is not as heavy as a 3000gt. the only advantage the gt has is awd, but for drag the supras rwd is better. the supra also has much more power potential than the 3kgt. both cars are nice looking in their own respects, i couldnt pick one over the other if i was basing on looks. the best thing the supra has over the 3kgt though is the fact that it wont fall apart every couple thousand miles which the gt is notorious for. so overall ill have to pick the supra, if you can afford one that is.

supras are cake to work on...but i guess you guys could argue that this is coming from someone who does all their own work on their Z32. eh...the inline 6 and rather large engine bay of the supra is pretty simple once you start modifying.

id take the supra if money wasn't an issue but with money always being an issue, i would take the VR4 and build it into a monster with the money i would save.

the supra's drivetrain is just too dominant and easy to modify to not say i wouldnt take it. BUT then again, the supra does look like poo...

Patience is a virtue my friend. basically with the Z32, it really isnt that hard to work on once you know what everything is, where it leads to, and what it is there for. it gets frustrating because you have to spend a couple hours removing parts just to get to the part that you need to change or where your trying to get to. its worth it for me...

what sucks worse is trying to find someone else you can trust to work on the Z32.

Yeah that whole patience thing wasn't something I had a lot of when I had my DSM, I wanted to get it goin' and go for a drive. Things are changin' though, maybe I'll look into a Z for my next ride

they are money pits whether they are running good or not. if not, then your stuck getting it to tip top running condition....but if it is running good then your scraping pennies for the next big performance part. they are very addictive to everyone that owns them. i dont know what it is...

good luck. i paid $5500 for my N/A and $12k later im still not driving. its kind of depressing but...eh...its a hobby, just a really pricey one.
