This is 12 years ago, for 42k, you are getting 0-60 in 4.6 seconds and a 13.1 1/4 mile. This is unreal. All Japanese sports cars MUST bow down TODAY.


YEAH!!!!!!!

0-60 in 4.6! That's the fastest time I've seen quoted. I see a lot of 5.xx times.

if they do make a 2005 supra i'm pretty sure it'll be perfect in every aspect.
in my circle of people the rumor is that they are gonna make a new one, with a TTv8, but i doubt it.

whoever that was that argueing my points between 300Z and Supra interior,... be sure to read that article,... it almost look like I could'a wrote it.

I agree hands down,... the Supra is the whoopazz machine to have,...but for pimp juice on the interior,.. much to be desired,....

I'd take the slower Z TT anyday over a supra, provided it came with the leather / suede combo,... the leather / leather, and leather / cloth combo's are pretty lame to me in the Z,...

I wonder why there is such a huge mark-up on MKIV Supras but not on the 300Z's.. theyre both discontinued/ in the same category

I bought my Supra before the 'movie' came out & believe me there was definitely a huge mark-up before the movie came out

those mark ups are crazy.
i wonder if the supras are still gonna be on the top of the hill in 20-30 yrs.
remember when the mustangs came out, now try to buy a gt 350 or 500.
is this the first potential collectable japaneese car.
