Absolutely nothing wrong.
This is a very fast, reliable car. The car is comfortable and fun to drive, albeit a bit heavy for serious road racing without suspension upgrades. I've never had a car I loved more. Its rarity increases its appeal.
If you ask me Supra's are and will always be the greatest cars around! I have always wanted one and someday I will own one. forget a Viper and a corvette. a supra is way more affoirdable and much more fun customize.

Supra are for teens who are trying to be a sports car wannabe! The Engine is so small that it is limited, not like the big block v8's. There's just no comparison. Supra have turbo lag- big block have NO lags at all! modifiable to over 330 mph in a 1/4 mile! No japanese cars can do that-or capable off. Turbo lag will cost you to loose! Supra don't have enough torque- too wimpy!
How about a nice used 2000 Viper convertible and only paid $49,000...no need to utilize a defense mechanism ever.
Viper? Now we're talking! That's the real deal! Stock viper is capbale of 193 mph! Go v10's! Imagine if you modify your viper with twin turbo? WOW!
To the gentlemen that said you can get a V8 to go 330 in a 1/4 mile. You're a moron. The top fuel cars do that with a 90%nitromethane 10%methanol mixture. Those cars only weight about 1100lbs, and if I am not mistaking your can't put one of those engines in a normal street car. They are just to big. Second you cannot get street legal tires to hook up with that much horsepower. Second I have a 1 liter 4 cylinder that will smoke all your v8s and v10s. I do understand the supra is not a 05 vet and shouldn't be in the same class, but you need to learn a little bit more about engines than just spitting out random facts that you don't know about. The only car I can think of that would fit a Top Fuel car engine is the Viper (off the subject sorry, just popped into my head).
I guess you don't know that much. A small block 400 cubic inch engine can be pushed up to 400 mph (in a stream line body) in salt lakes at utah. You must be a kid and don't know some history about v8 engines. Have you ever been to the "world street nationals? Take your so called 4 banger and you'll learn your lesson over there. You'll be dealing with hard core v8 fanatics that push their street legal cars over 200 mph in 7 sec- yes street legal - or else you can't race. So check out the video first and then bragg- if you can with your wimpy 4 banger- remember, your engine has a very small displacement- no offense- but 4 bangers are for people who can't afford. So see you at the race!
I don't know what any of you are arguing about. No street legal car can reach speeds of over 400 M.P.H so why bother saying that? Plus the kind of cars that can reach those kinds of speeds use jet engines, the Spirit of America broke the sound barrier with a jet engine does that mean we should all drive around with jet engines? No. And these people you speak of that can reach 200 M.P.H. in 7 seconds aren't street legal either, they are using race fuel and tires that are illegal on the street. Not to mention your arguing over 4 bangers and V-8's when the Supra is an Inline 6. If you want to argue about professional drag racers with cars that don't have one single thing in common with their street legal counterpart then look at NOPI racing. They have Supras, Eclipses, Solaris and Civic Hybrids that can run the 1/4 mile in 5 seconds. Not to mention suprastore. com offers single turbo packages that can push a Supra to 1200 HP, and that's without nitrous.
Do the math! if these "street legal" imports can go 5 sec in 1/4 mile, they be going nearly or over 300 mph just like the top fuel v8's. Supra has too much lag. Even if it's 1200 hp, it's still no match to a modified 800 hp v8- no contest at all.
I understand all of your comments, but remember, we're just talking about a stock twin turbo 320 hp Supra. If it's a 97', it's way cheaper than most other new Japanese cars, and certainly faster. I personally chose a new Corolla, but the 96' twin turbo Supra I was looking at was only $11,400, which if you think about it, where are you going to find another car like that, for that price? Either way, it's a great car, and so are Vipers, Corvettes, etc. It's just for us people who can't blow $80,000 on a V-10 plus turbo kits.
To the guy that keeps bashing the supra owners is this all you do all day. I keep seeing your reviews bashing supra owners on every review I read. Yes V8's are big and can make big power, but there are many imports that can take out a bigt V8. Many imports (Supra's) are running up to 1200 horse power and can roast a big V8. I owned a '73 Monte Carlo SS with a 483 but was blowen away, but a supra on a track race and yes my car can do a wheelie, but I think all that proves is torque.
This is to those pro V8 guys out there. I'm just wondering if any of you know that an F1 car can have an engine as small as 1500 cc and yet give out 950 hp. Sure it sounds like a vacuum cleaner, but it would blow out any larger muscle car with 1200 hp.
The entire argument seems moot. Technology has proven itself to be a more than adequate replacement for cubic inches. Which is why engines have grown smaller and smaller while producing more power than their predecessors. The only reason we have v8's and v10's on the street is because people like buying big blocks for reasons I don't understand.
I guess you don't understand because you're ignorant. Yeah that why a small block v8 can now go over 200 mph- street legal. A 4 dr CTS cadillac is even faster than a supra tt, 0 -60. Supra tt is now weak for today's family car std. Imagine a 500 hp 2006 z-06 corvette? Yeah that from the factory. I'll buy one and put twin turbo on it. Even stck supra tt is no match.
Every comment I've read here has pretty much been bout muscle vs rice rockets. Well, theres one car that will smoke anyone. A caddilac Sixteen. A 1000 hp - stock. YES, STOCK. If you don't believe me, go to www.generalmotors.com and look in the caddilac section in future projects, it'll be there. Oh, and for all those guys sayin that a v8 can go like 300 - 400 mph, that's ridiculous. Do some homework first, no car can actually do that, and if it did, all the pressure on the engine itself would break under it's own stress. All of the engine oil would run dry within a few seconds. Pieces would fly out from under the hood. So, to all of those "more mentally challenged" people who think that v8's are just as fast as f 15's, well, personally I don't know what to say because that's the most outrageous comment that I've EVER heard.
How about the top fuel v8? They can go over 330 mph in 4 seconds in a 1/4. Can any import beat that? American v8s are the best!!!
