My new "fun" car.
Well since selling the Evo just over a month ago I've been looking at my options, and wound up buying this car in Florida and having it shipped (enclosed carrier) to NJ.
* 1995 Super White Supra TT
* 6-Speed
* Super White
* 30,211 miles
* Bone stock except for Eibach springs and some weird brand 18" staggered wheels.
Due to the distance I had a very reputable Florida Supra shop inspect the car and they gave it a very clean bill of health. In fact they told me that if I didn't buy it, they would buy it.
The car's in excellent shape; it's got some small paint chips but no dents or dings.
Having just washed it, I'm amazed at how well the OEM Toyota paint is.
I should be getting ready to give the car a nice overall detail with the orbital soon.

Driving impressions:
1. Handling is good (a bit "floaty"), but no where near the sharpness of an Evo. I'm thinking some sway bars, coilovers, and some small weight reduction will help a lot.
2. The car is very comfortable; much more comfy than an Evo. It's very "cockpit-like", very enveloping, and also very very quiet. Much more 1990's Lexus like than any Toyota. Doesn't feel cheap compared to the Evo's interior.
3. Power wise the car is stock so it's no where near what my Evo was (389 awhp & 393 awhtq), so it felt a bit slow. The car has some nice kick at around 3,500 rpm's when the 1st turbo spools up. I can't wait to get some bolt-on's for the car
.
4. Look's wise the car still has a presence; having driven it to get gas and for a quick joy ride, the car still get's looks.
Thanks.
Keep boosting.

The window tint was already on the car when I bought it; I'm sure the local police won't like it too much.
No worries on the wheel choice; I'm looking at either BBS LM's, CCW LM20's, or maybe HRE 441's or 446's.
300 HP should be pretty easy to get
.Parts are on the way
I always wanted one too.
I remember back in high school when the MKIV Supra's first came out and how much I loved the look of the car.
