    Default Toyota Supra MKIII is in consideration....

    as a definite possible purchase for me. Thing is, ive never driven a RWD car before...and ive never driven a car that has more than 140(crank)hp either. I was kinda wonderin, if there are any Supra owners on here, whats it like owning/driving/working on/modding the vintage Supra?? Also, are there any precautions i should take when i decide to up my horsepower?? aka...how to avoid death due to too much whp?

    Its too heavy, and the 7mgte blows head gaskets like crazy.. S13 has way more potential even if you have less power at first. They do look good though, specially the targa top ones...

    those older ones tend to be rusted out much. Driving shouldn't be that bad, but you should know the basics if you do lose control(counter steer the way of the skid)

    It is pretty heavy, I would go with a 240 if you want a RWD.

    thats the ugliest ****ing car I've seen in a while. Its like baby **** yellow. This must be a pretty old pic. Those wheels are like circa 1990... Good idea, bad choice in paint color/wheel selection. I can't even imagine what the hood would look like.

    if this is your first RWD car then just take it easy until you know how to control the car as if you been driving it forever
