I couldn't fathom spending over $20k cash for a 16 year old Toyota Supra. Most banks these days will not finance a car that old, and if they did the interest rate would be ridiculous. I'm happy with my paid for reliable car.

Like I said Supra's are collector cars, check out their blue book values they have gone up in the last couple of years. I doubt the SC will ever be a collector car. I paid 8k for my Supra and got an Aristo engine and trans delivered for $1600.

Lol I was wondering that too. Its like asking if you want a Lancer or an Evo MR. Doesn't make sense to me. And they aren't even close in price right now.

Definately a Soarer. Just the name makes the car sound like it cuts through wind. But if I could comfortably afford it I'd by both the SC and Supra. SC would be my DD and the Supra for the weekends Then again for the price of a Supra I could mod the hell out of out of the SC and make it the fattest sleeper conquering a Supra that's worth the same amount of the cost of mods in the SC. Also cops will pull over the Supra way more than a SC

Did soarer 2.5TT ever come with active suspension? Would be comparable to supra TT.

And I couldn't fathom putting more than the value of my car into cosmetic upgrades . Too each their own man! And one of the local supra guys here just picked up a 97 supra with 70k miles on it and got a loan at 4.2% interest. He had to put 6k down on it, but that's reasonable. A TT 6 speed supra is still an outstanding value. Would I pay the 14-15k that some of these guys want for their NA/automatics? Hell no.

If you own a supra you SHOULD have an SC as a DD . Keep it stock and clean and the best part is- when **** break on either car you can swap if needed . And I'd have to say that soarer and supra are equally awesome names. Easily top 5 car names of the past few decades. And funny enough I've never been hassled in my supra. I've been given a thumbs up from a cop before actually. But yes I am INVISIBLE in my SC and I love that about a daily driver.
