Yep, now we are talking. With the way moto is posting a flat 6 might be a possible swap in the FR without all those modifications.

I really don't think they'd give a shit. I know I wouldn't. I'd just buy a Supra as well if I were so inclined. In fact, If an SC F ever comes into being, it'd probably give the LFA a decent run for it's money, probably even kick it's teeth in in terms of on paper performance numbers that so many people like to read about. So what if the Toyota brand halo car did that too? Non-issue. The thing is, to get GT-R like 0-60 numbers it'd have to be awd. Then you have to ask if you want a Supra or if you want a GT-R with a Toyota badge. They are substantially different cars. I could go on, but I'm starting to wonder why you guys are discussing Supras in two different active threads.... in the FT-86 general forum no less...

Oh, I forgot... welcome to Forgot Topic.com

Sense. You make it. Just not sure how I feel about the Subbie H6, but.. w/e

No v6 for me, kthnxbye


I was thinking more along the lines of a naturally aspirated aluminum block I6 with yamaha heads and a gated 6 speed. And it has to sound like this

[Matador]

I6 = not happening.

I don't know why, but I do approve.

Also, I want a toyota supra not a toyoburumaha supra. I'm asking bc I don't know, who else besides toyota had a major role in the mk4 supras design?

[Matador]

No one, besides Yamaha on the heads of the 2JZ (as per usual). Getrag built the gearbox if you wanna count that.

At least it gets better than a Rotary.

[Riden86]

How about...
2.5 liter H-4 with new sequential VNG turbos, 473 HP at 8500 rpm, weight 2800 lbs.
FT=Future technology so it need some future technology inside.

lol. I dropped into single digit MPGs when I just had a catback exhaust and a K&N filter. And if that wasn't bad enough, I was also mixing 1 gallon of xylene into each tank full @ about $12/gal.

Makes you wonder why people complain about the range on electric vehicles when you can have an internal combustion engine that's just as bad

The 140ish miles per tank didn't seem as bad as it was, because I only drove it maybe a dozen miles a day back then. It wasn't until college, which was 22 miles one way, that it really hurt. Filling up every 3 days or so.

[Random_Art]

I feel ya. I accidently bought crappy volvo at an auction a while back (thought I was bidding on the CRX next to it) and it got about 3 miles to the gallon.
