I appreciate the thought.. but not really. My viper is by far my slow car... I love my viper... and it dont get better looking then my viper... but it would be crushed out by alot of modded F-Bods and Supra's out there...

Fast!!!

im not saying LXS can not be made fast...but you have to spend alot more in aftermarket parts so they can handle the power..

well ****, i thought by stock you meant stock, not super modified, ported, and reworked i dont need to search anything, bc idc i'm just saying, when you say stock, you should probably specify, i mean, you can have plenty of stock parts, its the modified ones that make it fastttt

I'm not sure where everyone is getting their info, but...

I gained a respectable 150hp or so for less than $500.
If you know where to look, you can get bolt ons fairly cheap for this car.

Plus, the reason I bought a Supra in the first place was so I could gain some ridiculous power with IHE and a boost controller, unlike a lot of other imports, where you get MAYBE 5-10hp from similar mods.
lol

Granted, if I wanted to swap out the twins for a big single upgrade and all the bells and whistles, then yes, I can see spending several grand to do so.

But $70K????
That's a little exorbinant (sp?)

Most of the Supra guys I've met at the Nationals have spent considerably less than $10,000 and have 10-11 second cars.

As far as there being 40 Supras in Austin.....no...I don't think so.
Sorry.

Did you happen to be in the Schertz area about a week ago? I saw a red MKIV on slicks and with an exhaust and I know they for sure aren't common. (just judging by your sig pic it looked a lot like yours)

I saw your car at Beaumont Walmart about 2 weeks ago looks good.

I've only seen just a N/A supra, no one around my area has them.

I do agree that supras can be fast and are nice cars. I wish I had a girlfriend that owned one.
