do the smart thing and get the Supra.
Will it? STi and EVO are both in the top 5 for lowest depreciation. STi was number 1.

I'd go with the STI myself, supras are overprived and 90% of the time end up being dyno queens that couldnt get a decent launch if they wanted to(this isnt true of all supras but its just stupid the amount of supras with 650hp and 12 second 1/4 mile times)

EVO8 MR with a happy turbo

Otherwise, get another MkIV. I cant see you not getting another one...I mean once you go Supra you dont go back. Unless if it has AWD, 2 more doors, and STILL lighter.

Maybe you should wait for a EVO9 cant argue with MIVEC

they have only been on the US market for maybe 2 years.

a 1995 supra in decent shape can still sell for as much as it did when it wsa brand new. thanks for playing though.

if you look, you can find MKIV's w/ a decent amount of miles on will sell for low $20's to mid $20's, for a TT 6sp.

they will have more power potential and ho-gettery... slap some Fiske or CCW's on there w/ drag radials and the car will get out. this isnt 1995 anymore, IRS Supras can hook and DO Hook on a regular basis. you just have to Not be a jabroni and drive smartly. and a 1.5 60' on a AWD will QUICKLY be eaten up by a BPU MKIV by the 1/8th mile.

though for me, you'd have to change it to 10 inches, and you'd have to change inches to millimeters, and you'd have to change 10 to 5 and you'd have to change dick to poor excuse for one.

well, anyone who starts out w/ a MKIV tt always ends up coming back. everytime i see someone selling their MKIV, they talk about getting a viper or something else thats "bad ass"... then they sell it and buy another MKIV.
