Whats a 97 TT with 51k miles worth? Black on black, 6spd. Nice car. Stock except for some intake piping and an exhuast. Different wheels too, nice though.

i wish the new supra (if/when it comes out) would be an i6 twin turbo, but i dont see that happening. as someone said above, i think they'll make it a NA v6. a v8 wouldnt be too bad, i guess (better than a v6), but a straight 6 would be best imo.

The new supra( if it comes out) is supposed to be competing with the z, s200, and the G35....... the chances of it being boosted is slim to none. Because insurance.....which I believe is the first reason why the discontinued them

Exactly. Most people just like the fact that a car has 2 turbos so they can say "twin turbo."

i thought the purpose of having twin turbo was because with two small turbos you have little turbo lag (while still making decent power) therefore good streetability for daily driving? as opposed to having a single large turbo which makes tons of power, but has huge lag. i always thought having stock twin turbos on a supra for example was nice.. and then if you want more power you have the option of upgrading to a single large turbo.

Pretty much nailed it.

As for the discontinuing of the Supras, I believe emmissions was teh main concern in Japan, and naturally they weren't going to continue making them for export only. I could definitely be wrong on this though.

toyota wised up on that a few years ago. in 98 i believe the 1jz powered cars came single scrapping the old twin setup.
i would immagine if it was I6 and turbo it would be a single.
turbo technology as come along way sence 85 when toyota desined there twin setup.
