Toyota needs to get on this.

Toyota and its lack of performance vehicle!? What the hell. I know they brought back the Corolla XRS, but its performance is lacking. Its only got 132HP, compared to the 177 in my SE-R, 190 in the Civic SI, and whatever is in the vdub.

I know there is talk of Toyota building a RWD coupe with Subaru, but thats to far off into the future. Toyota needs to get into the sport compact market now!

Whose with me?

 

like a supra or something.

 

Im with you.
But i believe they dont really want to get into the sport scene due to peoples desire for gas efficient cars. They probably would make more money selling gas effiicient rather than producing/selling a sport car during this economy.

 

yes true. however, they need to bring back the Supra. giv it a V6 and 300 hp

 

i would stick with a 3.0 and inline personally. its a good combo. small pistons that take boost well. not a lot of rotating mass.

 

yes true. but i think to own a new supra with a S/C would be bad as hell. man i really want one now.

 

I would kill for a Supra!

 

ive seen a 92 gray supra floating around my town somewhere. its stock though. but it looks good

 

Hell yeah go for a 4.0

 

That reminds me, I saw a blue R34 on the highway the other day. Imagine my surprise when seeing such a vehicle, as I was not aware they even sold the R34 in America.

 

They must've imported it. I knew a guy around here that had his R34 imported from Japan (steering wheel on right side). He said it was a bitch to get it imported into the country and then even harder to get it to pass an inspection of some kind.


He is filthy rich.

 

I wish I had time to actually check it out and meet the owner. I was riding along the highway and saw it and thought WTF. If it wasn't going the other way I woulda followed him. It was a beautiful car.

 

thats partly why i wanted to join the navy. so i could maybe get stationed in japan and buy me a car albeit a R34 or a sylvia, or a regular nissan skyline. but i know now i dont really want to do that. ive got a tacoma now

 

dude seriously? do you have any concept pics of what it might look like.

It's not very sexy.


I think this looks good, but it's nothing like the old Supras. But it's a hybrid. Not my thing. Fast as hell though.

lookin good is all i can say.

 

you guys are talking about putting a 4.0 in a supra. I heard theres a guy somewhere in the tampa area puting an IForce V8 in his. I have a friend that works in a toy shop where he built his wide body Celica who was telling me about in a few months ago.
