how come people on here, or really everywhere always like thoes supras from the previous years. how come some people just take the cheap way out and get a lexus sc 400. it's the same car, engine just a different body style.

i dont know about supras or lexus, but the supra was a car for people to mod and such, a lexus is a luxury car, which means it's heavier

because sc400 comes in only automatic, and isn't the TT I6 like the one in the supra. also, sc400s don't turn nearly as many heads as the supra.

yea but it has a v-8 and u can always turbo the engine

 
Rep Power: 312

well you can also turbo an engine in a 1969 chevy pickup truck, u can turbo any engine......the supra looks different, has different suspension, and it's basically in a different class.

same car though thats all i'm saying. honda civic = acura rsx.
ford thunderbird=mercury cogar. ect.

I wouldn't mind a Lexus from that year, but like mentioned, its not an actual sportscar, its a luxery car. Some people want that kind of thing, just like people wanting the Couger over the Mustang (original ones, not the cheap FWD versions), but the majority still wants the actual sportscar.

Also, I think you meant the SC300 was the same as the standard Supra, becuase the 400 would mean a V8, which was smoother than a Twin Turbo I6.

yea ok you right. the base engines. were the same.

 
Rep Power: 312

not saying your wrong, but i really wonder what all is the same about the rsx, engine different, body is different, interior is different, suspension is different, how are they the same? parts are interchangeable, but there's really not much that is the SAME about the car

well ok don't take it word for word. i ment it was the same basic car. just different working parts. like i said earlyer thunderbird=cogar. old old ford musting=mecuri capri
nisan 350z= infinity eclipse=eagle talon

also just as a side issue. how come most people who have toyota celicals (the latest body style) they have a complaint that it's hard to squeez any more power out of the engine, and not a lot of aftermarket support for thoes cars.

 
Rep Power: 319

because its a toyota...haha...the lexus sc300 and the supra both have the 2JZ I6 and the SC300 came availible in 5psd...those twin turboed are fast as hell and are great for drifting

 
Rep Power: 434

are you talking about the 1zz or the 2zz? the 2zz can make some crazy power na and boosted. 1zz i think is pretty much maxed out from the factory kinda like our d17s.

 
Rep Power: 269

Ohh the 2ZZ...Lift ownz j00!

I love my 2ZZ

 
Rep Power: 0

yea i'm talking about that engine. and i'm talking about not boosting the engine, but as far as building it up. not a lot of people talk about how many companies have parts for that engine.

 
Rep Power: 334

Uh... what?

Maybe Echo = xA + xB
Celica = tC

That makes more logic

 
Rep Power: 336

im not gonna be the first or last person to say this, but the rsx>than a civic. they are different. the motors are different, the body, suspension, drivetrain, everything. you couldn't be more wrong. civic=civic. cougar=mustang the new ones anyway. gm does it, ford does it. and the higher class cars are just copies of lower class cars. g35= 350z except wider and more luxurious. highlander=lexus rx model. anyway.

Ever been to Monkey Wrench website? You can do LOTS of things to the 2ZZ. Lots of support considering its in a lot of cars. Matrix, Vibe, Corolla, Celica, and the Lotus Elise. Lots of Lotus Elise parts are awesome. Just a tad to expensive. But bomb proof motor none the less. Its a Yamaha engine

 
Rep Power: 303

the motor has the same basic design but internally the 2jzGTE is much more stout thatn its n/a brother the 2jzGE. specifically the forged rods and pistons.

welcome to the wonderful world of platform sharing and badge engineering.

Your actually wrog. The Civic, RSX, and CRV all share the same chassie. They are very similar under the skin, and have you ever wondered why about 99% of the RSX's parts are interchangeable to ours, minus some differn't screw holes?

 
Rep Power: 330

^yeah, as far as the way they are built they are all similar, but what they can do, they are all different.

 
Rep Power: 360

here is my view on this...
an IS300 with a 2jgzgte swap, twin turbo, nice wheels, and lip kit are as good as it gets. i know its 4 door. but the supra is a bit of a whale looking creature. hope the next supra cuts down on all that extra body bulge

 
Rep Power: 397

The Supra has turned into a fan boy car, as evidence that most are going for like 30k+ in my area... please....

reminds me of evos, stis, and srt4's today.

they are all bought so much that they are now stupid. but a supra is still far greater than the evo, sti, or srt. supra was played out a little much but its still expensive enough and has enough headroom that its a major force in the tuning scene even after all the years. its a good car. not nearly as trendy as the evo, sti or srt. i am so sick of those damn 3 cars.
