More reason why Toyota should bring back the legend.

It's really funny how the Supra, which was essentially some 15 years old, still posts comparable numbers to todays Corvettes and yet beats mustangs, 350Z, RX-8, and the like.

The car was so far ahead of its time it wasn't even funny

 

It'd be hard to come out with something like that now, but we all hope Toyota does though!

 

Toyota heard your cry and said the FT-HS, aka Supra is on its way for 2009.

 

the engine, brakes, suspension, chassis, electronics, and the style of the mk4 supra is way ahead of its time. people don't realize supra is more than just a hp monster - it is a supercar.

 

So, why'd they even throw the MR-2 in there? That's like putting a go-kart up against an F1 rocket... I know the MR-2 is capable... but that's just not a fair fight...

 

I dare say that the MR-2 is a better sports car than the Supra.

 

you are saying *a lot* :X

 

MR-2 is lighter and more fun but the Supra is more balanced and more powerful and hence a better sports car.

 

are you kidding? the mr2 dusted that auto NSX... that says A LOT

 

it might be sportier, but it isn't faster.

 

obviously not, its about 70 hp short.

 

Not only that, but the MR2's rear-biased weight distribution and suspension tuning are notorious for oversteering. This means fast turn-in, but slow exit.

The Supra is much better balanced and therefore more suitable for racing.

 

its not only the supra. the same could be said about the 300zx turbo, rx7, and 300gt vr4 from the early 90's.
