I know this is actually off topic but I drove a twin turbo six speed toyota supra. It was like a 1995 or 1996 cant really remember but let me tell you that baby flew. Of course they were not stock turbos the guy says it puts out around 650hp at the wheels. Plus he let me drive it without him in the car. The 0-60 on that car had to be in the 4's I mean it was like I would start off floor it and before I even got to second I was almost at sixty. I think that car would be a good investment.

lets see a 300 hp SupraTT is in the 4's.. i am guessing the 650 might be a little faster than 4's..

My good friend has had tons of Supras. One had 874 bhp with Nitrous and he now has one that is 625 bhp. I rode in the one with 874; and I thought I was going to die. Every gear he went through, the tires were spinning. That was the fastest car I have ever ridden in, compared to Viper's and Ferrari's. You can get so much power out of those engines. His site is at www.wotm.com He also has some videos.

You are telling me. I know of 1993 TT with a good bit of miles on it in fair condition. The owner is asking 18K!!

Well it's true that a Supra TT stil goes for a bit but maybe just maybe if you looked around you may get lucky. I know someone who works for a used car dealer and he found a 95 Supra TT with 30k for $9,000.

Those are both very very good deals, I test drove
one yesterday where the dealer was asking $17K for
a 93 n/a with 57k miles on it.

Strong engine, pretty good condition, just a real
****ty color. It was like a dirt brown. Horrible
color for those cars. Course it still looked good.

Ummm...I think it was neither cuz the guy works for a used car dealer and found it at the auction for $9,000 and bought it. Someone offered him $20,000 and he wouldn't sell it so I would guess that it doesn't have any major problems....don't you think so?

you don't find THAT kinda good deal at auction, i have gone to dealer only auction with my contact, you still don't get lowmile supraTT for 9k.
i don't doubt he did obtain that specific car for cheap, i am not saying it definitely has a problem either. my point is that's not normal at all even for the fact he works for used car dealer.
