I hear a Supra can be made to go fairly fast. Besides, they're cool enough for Hulk Hogan.

Supra

Unless you plan to toss out that "grenade" they call a rotary engine and put in a 2JZ

Also, if you're going the NA-T route, be sure you know what you're getting yourself into

The prices on Supra's have dropped a lot in the last 5 months...

yeah 300 xz passenger seats just like the movie

[Jim]

Check out the supraforums they have some pretty amazing deals on supras...

cheapest i've seen is 10,500 for an auto NA, high mileage though, most are going for 14k-16k

[Dangler]

i remember somone on this board posting about an NA for sale in St Cloud too - slight damage, easy fix

[Dangler]

and be sure to get Red and not Silver. Red's faster

well, if you plan on using the rx7 chassis and dumping the rotary (one of the greatest marvels of german engineering), you could swap in an ls1. it has been done, is apparently not that difficult, and doesn't change the balance of the car noticeably

damn this is tough but supra because...supra

2JZ > LS1

haha.... if I get a rx-7 there will be no 2jz or v8 swaps...

[JohnW]

I vote rx-7, obviously. need more rotary action around here.

[LT1]

tuff choice

[Guest]

I say go for the RX7, not many people have them around here and those that do don't race them (at least not regularly). Both cars are great platforms IMHO, but a well built RX7 would just be cool. If you do go w/ the 7, make sure you upgrade the cooling system (not that I need to tell you that I suppose).

i agree, i just tossed that out as an option if you particularly like the look of the 3g rx7, but don't know how to take care of the turbo rotary

[mym6]

As a Mazda owner myself I voted for the RX-7.
