i have a 94 na supra, only like 250hp...fun *** car though, but I'll take the awd anyday....

Best- fun factor
worst- (other than stock clutch issues).... small gas tank(200 mile cruise range if your lucky)... but hey, not designed for that

Best: The absolutely brilliant handling and response from this car
Worst: All the people that use this car to just go fast in a straight line

Best thing about this car is to own it.
Worst thing about this car is not to own it.

What does a 500HP, 600HP and 700HP Supra all have in common?
















They all run 11s

best: the car looks fast becasue it is fast
worst:interior material is weak, and the clutch issues of course BUT I LOVE MY EVO!!

Gosh where do I start! THis car loves mods. You won't miss the supercar status of the supra because the evo is one as well. And traction which will get you going like a bat out of hell. But I don't recommend launching too much as you probably saw in the other posts. I do recommend doing some autocross' though. I think civics have better quality dash and plastics though. But nothing that will be annoying and get scratches all over the place.

let's see the best thing.....the looks on stang and camero owners faces after they get dusted! that's great! this car hangs and hugs corners. this is a super car out the box. price is moderate for all the performance mods it has.

the bad......i'll think of something...okay, i agree with the rest. no cruise, and the interior could of used a little bit more pizzaz (but, oh well. it's not a luxury sedan, it'a a race car right!?)

The EVO is an incredibly neat car..... Every time I drive something else I appreciate the EVO more

On the down side, it could use the cruise control and another gear (6th speed). It can be noisy and somewhat rough riding, but it's very comfortable in long trips due to the fantastic driveability

Of course, I've always wanted a Supra.... Never drove one of those.... How much you want for it?

The supra is a great car and looked and drove many before I got the Rx-7.. My wife wanted one so we started looking and boy is it hard to find a clean one, in fact we gave up.

Hello. I'm a new member who is planning to get an Evo next year. I had a Supra with 500+hp until last week. I had to leave it at home coz I was leaving for college and it's curretly for sale now. I'm probably gonna get a new car in May/June of next year and I'm sort of wanting something new. So I just want some input from evo owners. What would you say if you were to pick one best thing and one worst thing about the Evo? How is the reliability so far? Can you make 400+awhp w/o any concerns about reliability? Thanks in advance for answering my questions and hope to be another Evo owner next year!
Best = Everything except...

Worst = the stock clutch -- can't handle much of beating!

besides its always good to have more than one fast car
I see said the blind man!

That's cool, just make sure to get one that's fairly stock, a lot of Supra owners pound on these cars relentlessly.

Well if u l00k at it at that angle... yes I agree... but if you compare it to some aftermarket clutches out there... then it sucks. It would have cost $100 more per car TOPS to throw a stronger pressure plate in there.
