Regular oil change and repairs.
Sunroof had a small leak.
Awesome car to drive, and very fast.
Comfortable seats.
Great for racing - beat Camaros, Mustangs, Corvettes, and a few Porsche 911's very easily.
I will never buy an American made car again.
Handles very well.
Has 400 horsepower with a turbo upgrade.
Ummm, its an inline 6? not a v6 huh?
Twin Turbo Supra will take a Z28 no problem. SS is a little hard.
That's if the SS doesn't break down.
This car can handle up to 600hp's on its stock internal's. Rip every single car out there. I just blew the doors off of this IROC-Z the other night.. with just a few bolt-ons.. Hks Intake, GT Spec Apex exhaust.. Boost control, 5Lbs and you feel it.
A 400HP Twin turbo Toyota Supra would whoop the crap out of a Camaro, now I live in Australia and our HSV VX GTS (300kW!) absolutely annihilates the Camaro and I have seen many Supra's easily out drag the GTS, so if they can do that then going against a basic piece of machinery like a Camaro would be no mean feat for the Japanese marvel.
Secondly.. I give credit to the guys and gals who put time into the Supra, this car, when done up, can take on high performance Ferrari's and win! Afterwards it will not cost an arm and a leg to replace parts. The retail on a twin turbo Supra is a lot, lot less than a high performance sports car such as a Porsche or Ferrari.
I could beat a Camaro in my 3.0i no problem, plus I don't have to fill the boot with fuel to go anywhere.
Mk IV Supra's have 325 horses with stock components, and could easily rip a Camaro. Do your research before you assume things.
Furthermore, the only downside to a Supra is that it is a tad bit heavy at 3500 pounds of curb weight. Easily fixable if you remove the back seats, glass, and replace some of the steel parts within the engine with aluminum parts (cam gears, flywheel, camshaft), and replace the pistons with lighter more efficient performance pistons.
Combine that with 850cc injectors, inter cooler, oil cooler, GT wastegate, larger turbo's or turbo, Iridium spark plugs, high-volume fuel rail, new ECU chip, high-volume catback exhaust, turbo timer (to prevent turbo lag), racing fuel pump, and other misc items. You would be ready to do 700 - 850 horses at the wheels, and kill any Camaro that crossed your path.

What do you guys think about the 96+ HSV (Holden) Clubsports, XU8s and GTS's up against the 3.0 Supra???
Trying to decide on what to buy. Obvious advantage is the fuel costs!!!
I can get a used camaro z28 for like 1/5 of the price of this car, a ls1 ss is also rated at 325 hp, and weighs 2oo pounds less than the supra, and with just like $2,000, a camaro can very easily beat a supra. And oh yeah, it's a TOYOTA. A very over-priced car for good performance. For the price of this TOYOTA, I can have a C5 Corvette with money to spare. Don't get me wrong, I love Supras, but for the money I rather put it into a camaro/corvette/TA. Toyota Supra twin-turbo's are rated at 325 hp. Camaros have a bit more torque. Still, the Supra is a great car. I don't know why you guys are knocking the Camaro.
It's a Toyota.
Toyota, therefore very reliable with awesome power to boot. Can't go wrong with these cars, good mpg/performance too. This is the main reason why this car is an excellent world wide seller, which is unlike most American cars, which only really sell in America. No comparison really!
I wish I had $35-$40 g's to throw away... I guess I will stick with my 89 Ford Tempo... It's dropped with 16" chrome hub caps and 2 10" Walmart specials... Went to the track and nailed a 30.12 quarter mile. So bring it on, Supra...
Imports being more reliable is a myth. Supra's are awesome cars, but way too expensive. Getting a Camaro/Firebird would be better, as performance parts are a lot cheaper and the car itself is cheaper. Also everyone loves GM ;)
Anybody ever consider an rx7 over an supra?? an rx7 does better upgrades for the money and handles much better stock... also because of the unique engine they have a higher resale value.
