90's sports cars
So we all remember the 300zx,,3kgt,rx7 and supra. Now we have the 350z,evo (the smaller 3kgt but just as heavy)rx8. So do you think toyota would make something (supra)? They dumbed up the mr2(132hp) and the celica isnt a sports car. Side not thought the mitsu FTO looked neat but slow. Anyways any talks on this? Or do you think they wont becasue of gas mileages and crap.
Celica GT4 = a beast
new supra + V8= Gay

I haven't seen a sports car listed in the post above 'cept for maybe the 3rd gen RX-7.
By the way, the MKIV Supra TT is only about 150lbs lighter than most year model 3KGT VR-4s. The 300ZX TT was a heavy beast as well.
To answer your question, most people (including most car enthusiasts on this forum) could not afford a new Supra TT or 3KGT VR-4. The same with the 300ZX TT.
My '97 VR-4 ran $47,500 new. The Supra TT was around the same price as well. The 300ZX TT wasn't far behind. This is back in the mid '90s, remember. Not many people and no *teenagers* has this kind of cash laying around.

i dunnoI haven't seen a sports car listed in the post above 'cept for maybe the 3rd gen RX-7.
the evo for example
Nurburgring Track times:
8:05 --- 152.907 km/h -- Porsche 997 Carrera S
8:11 --- 151,274 km/h -- Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX
at almost $100k less, does that make it not a sports car?
no it doesnt it makes it a fast sedan.
-IA MGMT is inappropriate.
Your logic astounds me...

well thats even gayer,if it does
Nothing is gay about a 500hp v10 that revs to 8500 RPM.
well its not hard to make 1000HP with the V6 so y does it need a V-10.
Is it getting hot in here??
Ok, not to flame you or anything--but I think you need to research more about cars before you start posting things.
It seems like every thread that I read you jump in with something knocking the motor of what ever the thread is talking about and then you say "Rotary's are the best they're easiest and you can make a bazillion horse power with a liter of displacement!"
Anyway....I don't feel the 300zx is a super car by any means. When in comparison to the rx7 and Supra. Both cars are extremely well built and I think the thing that sets them apart the most is styling. They really took a jump towards the future in the styling department for their respected years.
I mean ford gave us this, 1993 mustang
chevy gave us these....
then out of japan comes the styling of the rx7, supra, and even the 3000gt...all look nice for what even a new car today looks like. To think some of their designs are almost 20 years old.
Raw power (V10) Vs. Turbos to make the power (V6)
how many of you can say your car has a v10? maybe one or 2....
how many of you can say your car has a turbo v6? .... a hell of a lot more
EF SQUAD FTMFW!!!!
Thank you
Turbo lag owns 1000hp Supras. A 5L 500hp+ V10 at 9,500 RPM and the Volumetric Efficiency of a Honda would be pretty nasty. They say the new LF-A is actually going to have an exotic, exhaust note. Thats like an F430 or a Gallardo with a nasty tune. Add boost and it'll do that 1000hp on pump gas and spool quick. Thats why I'd go with the V10 over the TT I-6 any day.
Nissan will be releasing a 480hp GT-R and a 530hp Evo version before NISMO even gets their hands on it.
Honda is putting a 550hp V10 in the next NSX so Japan is officially making supercars now.
A new wave of performance is coming from the far east. Just keep an open mind.

Great! Another set of sports cars that 99.9999% of us cannot afford! I guess we'll have to wait until the late 2010's to even consider affording them, used and after they've been discontinued due to being extremely high in price!Thank you

the 95 vr4 spyder was very costly
im not taking off my clothes
I was waiting for you to get flamed.
lol,i just dont understand...y it cant be a V6,i dont see anything wrong with the 6
A "V" config isn't the best for making a lot of horsepower in comparison to the Inline-6. It has to deal with the engine's balance.

lol,o i feel stupid .
o and the VR4 spyder is so bad ass
I thought you were saying the original Supra was a v6.
OOO dont forgot the Prelude. 30,000 fully loaded.
80's sports cars rule the roost. Later, QD.
FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!
ftw
i know nothing bout Supras
Man im all in when it comes to 90 cars. All this new shit aint nothing compared to old school shit.
90's cars aren't old school. Later, QD.Man im all in when it comes to 90 cars. All this new shit aint nothing compared to old school shit.

Depends, if you're born in '89 they are..lol
Sheeeet. If you're born in 89, you're not even old school. Lolol. Later, QD.

Supras.....Man I Wish....
Rotary is so much more simple
also 80s cars are the shit
Don't make me post the rotary pic again.... Late 80's early 90's were the best years. Hell my current car is a '91. Not because I can't afford better. I choose not to. 16yrs old car FTMFW!!!
I thought a INLINE 6 used less effort to get hp and was easier on the motor.
LOL, 4 doors is not a sports car. Fast, yes. But being able to go fast while carrying 2.5 kids and the dog does not make it a sports car. Although I've always wanted an EVO IV.
just an example i would use the Z car as an example, how is that not a sports car lol
the z32 twin, how does it differ from the FD twin, Its slower obviously, but all of the rest is there (just like it is with the evo),
the Zcar legacy (evo legacy)
the Zcar was at one point nissan's flagship.
I'm not hating or nothing, I just want to know what makes the FD a sports car as opposed to the z32 twin or the supra twin(two of my fav import sports cars btw)... It performs better at certain things.
And the evo IS a sports car... lol sports sedan, and a sedan is a car so sports-car
walaa
Maybe the Z32 coupe, but not the 2+2. For the most part, sports cars aren't supposed to be *that* heavy.
The Supra, however, IS a GT, not a sports car. That's like grouping the Mustangs in with "sports cars" as well. No.

the z32TT didn't come in 2+2
and even the 2seater is heavy as shit
but I fail to see how that would make it not a sports car, thats like its purpose in life, to carry on the Zcar tradition....
I had a similar argument with a friend a few weeks ago he was like true sports cars are mid engine rwd, cars that weigh shit and etc and etc... i'm like dude you're retarded
