I was about to pull out on a main 4-lane tonight when this newer Supra ('97?) comes flyin by...had a big polished can and chromed factory rims. Couple of "backwards hatters" in it
I caught up to him "thisquick" and tried to play...I never heard any sign of a turbo, and he wouldn't go, so I'm assuming it was n/a. Aren't those just a 220hp 3.0?

even though it has less HP, its still rwd....from a stop it might still take you, on the twisties it will own you, but from a roll its a different story though

N/A supras are about as much of a dog as N/A 300zx's

What year though?
I've driven some older 300ZXs that were doggy, but IIRC the '90 & up 300 n/a would beat the previous Turbo, so not THAT slow...

yes even the 90 and up 300zx n/a was a dog. Around 3400lbs and 222hp 198 tq = SLOW
