Performance - Relatively quick acceleration for a car that weighs 3600lbs with only 230hp. Brutal handling in stock form. Build Quality - Incredibly solidly built. Appearance - Very nice styling, though a bit of a carbon copy of other vehicles (ie. Ford Firebird, Mazda RX-7 [FC3S]). Cost of Ownership - When things break...they get expensive. Fun factor - When the car is operating properly, it's a joy to drive.

The Supra was a small revolution when it arrived on the scene in the mid 80's. Not since the Toyota Crowns, Celicas ( lets not forget 2000GT ) japanese cars had a very thin personality -most people looked upon them as transportation -and compared to European and American marquees they didnt have any glorious legacy to boast. the Toyota 2000 GT debuted in a James Bond movie and the Datsun-Nissans 200ZX's paved the way in the late 70's The S upra Mk1 was constructed on the base of a 77 model Celica, it preluded what was to come, the MK2 got its own platform an onboard computer to regulate the fuel injection, and picked up massive sales in the USA. I have owned a MK2 and currently my MK3 is in for an overhaul -I love the Supra because its the cheapest and most reliable way to get most horsepower for my money, 6.3, 0-100km, stock, gives decent performance even by todays standards. And finally because its so easy to upgrade.

Its cool, its sleek, mean and a classic -like the MKII Toyota proved that they could build a car with personality, and going 6,3 sec. from 0 to 60 made the MKIII a serious performer (stock!) -but whats really cool about the MKIII is the potential, with just a few tricks, youll get more power, the automatic gearbox allows up till 350-400 ponies so you dont have to change the whole car -its build for perfomance, and I havent even mentioned the feeling of tearing down the autostrada with the top down...

Well built car that lacks slightly in the performance category but this vehicle has alot of potential when it comes to modifications to the engine output. I love the rear wheel drive. Very fun to drive. Also the manual trans is desireable.
