You sure it's not a non-turbo with 137,000 miles on it. The price would be on par if it was. Could be salvage title, who knows.

selling it for $17,500 must be a non turbo supra because a stock tt cost more than $20,000 with high miles.

Supras are dyno queens, like the other guy said.

Know what a 450 hp Supra and a 1000 hp Supra have in common?























































































They both run 12s.

quoted that wrong. It was around 600-700hp. I think it was:

"700hp Supra=10s, 1000hp supra=10s"

You think a 1000hp supra would run 12s? unless it was spinning the ENTIRE time, it will break into the 10s all day.


EDIT: Sorry, accidently quoted instead of editting

If a 1000 hp Supra is only hitting in the 10s, "all day" or not, it's a pile of sh*t. Period. I've seen Camaros with less than that hitting deep in the 9s.

No, I didn't misquote. It seems Supras are always running in the 12s, regardless of what they have done to'em.

Taken from Wikipedia:

The new Supra was completely redesigned, with rounded body styling partly based on the Ferrari F40 and featured two new engines: naturally aspirated 2JZ-GE 220 hp (164 kW) and 210 ft·lbf (285 N·m) of torque and a twin turbocharged 2JZ-GTE making 320 hp (239 kW), 315 ft·lbf (427 N·m) of torque. The turbocharged variant could achieve 0–60 mph in 4.6 seconds and 1/4 mile (402 m) in 13.1 seconds at 109 mph [2]. The stock turbos are capable of running around 450-500 bhp with an unrestricted airflow/exhaust system and an aftermarket boost controller (BPU Upgrade).

If that car is a TT and in good shape i would jump on it and buy it. If you don't, post the owners info on here and i am sure someone here will buy it.

yeah Subarus are POS' too because they take too much to run 10s...Be honest..you don't see many supras run down the strip do you. You think every 1000hp supra runs 10s? The supras are running over 1000hp at the crank stock block. I dont think the LS1s are that powerful. There are plenty of supras under 1000whp breaking 9s so I dont know what you're talking about. 12s? are u kidding me. The car STOCK can hit low 13s, 12s possibly. So you're telling me a 320hp stock supra TT can run almost simliar times as a 1000whp Supra. at you!!!

Whatever you say, buddy. 320hp and 3400+ lbs don't make for a low 13/high 12 1/4. Come back when you know what you're talking about.. LS1s aren't powerful? LS1s will SMOKE Supras in the 1/4! And this, I know for FACT. Do you really think LS1 F-Bodies only made 305 hp? THEY WERE MAKING 300+RWHP RIGHT OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR!

FWIW, I've seen plenty Supras run the 1/4. And yes, I've even seen a fair share of STOCK ones at the track. I have NEVER seen a BONE STOCK Supra run faster than a 13.7 @ 104 mph. Please, SHOW ME slips of these cars running low 13s and high 12s bone stock.

Actually, I'm the one laughing at YOU. Everybody and anybody that knows ANYTHING about cars KNOW that Supras aren't prime candidates for the drag strip because of their independent rear suspensions. It doesn't take a genius.

They can be beasts all they want. They can't launch for sh*t. Why do you think there aren't many running faster than the 10s when they have the power to do it?

Hmmm....."it seems."

big powered supra's aren't made for the strip IMHO....

they're made for the freeway. and they are F***ING INSANE on the freeway when they're done right. lose traction at 100mph but basically at that point anything under 100mph is useless...they'll just spin and spin...maybe a civic can keep up

to the OP: sounds like a killer deal. auto or not just get it first...do a manual swap later lol
