Anyone ever owned a Supra?
Just having one of those moments when thinking I need to ditch the estate and get one of those cars I've always wanted.
Though I hate to admit it, I actually had one of those 'heart stopping' moments many years ago, when I saw a veilside bodied Toyota
Supra!
Well, a tuned one with 500bhp twin turbo, or standard twin turbo are now very reasonable, a good one for 3.5K and a really good one for 5K (most now
including boom boxes in the boot).
As they are Toyota's I'd hope they don't explode, but I was just wondering if anyone here has ever had one and could comment?
Next week I will mostly be thinking about facelifts and Thai brides!

Have you got a hairy chest? Buy a medallion to go with the Supra and you'll be fine

not had a supra, but i had a pair of 300zx's. Lovely fun but the fuel bill was shocking. I got 90 miles out of £40, which at the time was
probably under 15mpg. That was admittedly driving like a joyrider

I had one, a standard looking uk car. Made over 320bhp as standard on a rolling road and 350 with a n induction kit and centre section exhaust.
Such a great car. Great on the motorway. a 13second 1/4mile as standard, great round bends. Buy one

I had a MK IV twin turbo 6 speed, it was a very strong car and very quick. It had whats known as BPU which takes it to about 400 bhp with no real
compromises. Not great on fuel but a hoot to drive as an all round car. Great for drifting out of the box too

600 BHP per ton, Stylus Brought back from the dead! Turbo Rotary Powered!

You can pick up twin turbo Soarers like mine (basically a touring version of the Supra) for a song these days. Mine gives me 350bhp and is a real
embarrassment to a lot of more 'exotic' cars - I even gave a 350Z a right rogering a few months back! Not bad for a 15 year old car 
Cheers,

When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box

Supra is definitely on my 'cars to own' list.
I also fancy an RX7, but I'd probably do the LS v8 swap in it.
