FR-S vs MkIV Supra
Hi,
Anyone giving up their Supra for a FR-S/BRZ? I am in the market for a new DD and not sure which way I should go. I will only be doing bolt-ons and no plans for the track. I have viewed the PRO/CON on paper, but was hoping some members could provide some insight. |
Search under "supra" or "MKIV" that should get you some good results, I for one am one of the guys coming from 4 supras to an FR-S, a 300hp whp FR-S is faster than a 400 whp supra. cheaper to get parts for, cheaper and over all new car. It's been talked to death, but good reads. :)

Thanks for that. I found a thread under general that I can read up on.

I am selling my 98 supra na auto to get a brz.

You mean you would actually trade GOD'S CHARIOT for one of these little 200hp whizbangers? This car will never make 1,000whp on stock internals and be the best car ever gifted upon humanity, are you insane man?? :thumbsup:

No way in hell I'd give up a Turbo Supra for one of these, unless I had a couple to spare. The Supra is the last real sports car Toyota made (the LFA is a supercar, i guess), and even when the 86 hits, the Supra will continue to be the last real sports car they made. It's looks, inside and out, are timeless. It also handled incredibly well for it's time, and even by today's standards. It has a bunch of aftermarket support laying around to boot, and knowledge. It's an icon.

If you're not planning on going to the track, and if you aren't planning on doing any serious, curvy sprited driving, I would go with the MKIV.
Otherwise, I would suggest the FR-S/BRZ. |

It was a good handling car *in it's day*. In modern times it is pretty much outclassed by anything. 3500 pounds is a lot of weight to be throwing around corners, regardless of power.
Unless you are planning on rebuilding the 15 year old car's suspension and possibly engine - and of course dealing with the upkeep of a 15 year old turbo car which lived through the fast and furious craze which probably had double digit previous owners doing who knows what to it, stick with the FRS/BRZ. |

Whilst true that to buy one now you'd have to do some overhauling on wear and tear, once "restored" (wow saying that for a 90's car), it would outclass the 86, easily, and decisively. Not to mention it still looks good today. And, TARGA. It was and is still the last real Sports Car Toyota made. The LFA is an exotic/super car more than anything. |
Nobody ever has any love for the MR-S/MR-2 Spyder. :( 7th gen celica GTS was quite a coupe, too.
