I had a AMS reflash and a catback exhaust, my setup might be a tad bit faster than a stock IX but it's close.

GAH i had no idea that they cost 80k

Aren't they making a new supra? but ofcourse not inline-6 anymore like what happened to GTR.. but i heard rumors that instead of V6 the supras will have V8... that would be pretty cool.

You are completely and utterly wrong. Thought you should know.

There's so much delusion on this forum it's laughable. People are seriously trying to compare an Evo to an E92 M3 or RS4? Wow.

I went from an evo to a 97 tt Supra, two different beats, but god the top end on supras are NUTS!!! I love the car and with some simple suspension mods and a single conversion they are heaven!!! They can be had for ~25k, drop 4K into the motor (which will put ya ~600whp) and ~3k into suspnension and you have one bad *** car! Trust me I know ;0)
