Mail order brides??
Nono on the supra, for reasons Ryan stated but also on the sheer fact that after you get bored with the car(and you will, I know you) you’ll be stuck with it because nobody in the right mind will want to spend that much on a NA-T pup. You’d lose your ass in resale as compared to the E46M3.

I think mail order brides have the lowest resale value of anything you mentioned.

Can someone please explain to me the differences and why NA2T sucks on supras?
In my eyes, theres nothing wrong with NA2T’s… Generaly the motors are the same, maybe a lower compression for the turboed vehicle… and a few other misc things like det sensors and vacum overflow tanks.

Motors are not even close to the same…

do it. its an NA-T but they do work, itll be a very quick car. its auto, but the BL tranny is money. and its a hardtopper, insurance wont be terrible either as its an SE. SRT is a great company as well. i wouldnt do straight trade for that… maybe your M3 + cash on his end to you. that car is ready to run 10s all day though

that car is a BL stalled auto though, not the junker W58. if it were a GTE swap, and not an NA-T you wouldnt know the difference without being told if you couldnt see the brakes.(of course minus the SE badge too)
NA-T’s can be built up nasty too. i realize youre hot off the dyno and got your jollies packed tight, but being a supra guy, you should be more welcoming to a car like that. its not a cob-jobb backyard special, its not over done, or ghetto. i mean, hes even got a SEM system in his junk Na-T.
be easy man.

Not a fan of NA-T. I didnt realize the tranny wasn’t the w58, but I dont see how you can compare the values of a NA-T to a TT.
Price is wayyy too high for an NA-T, and Jesse’s car is worth far more. I’d say $10,000 on top of the NA-T and it’s a deal.
My jollies are packed so tight that I havn’t even driven my car since its been home, sans a mile down the road to the wash.

Na-Ts are not bad cars at all.
JUst that one there seems to be priced sky high. IF anything Na-T’ing a car maybe ads $1000 to its value and thats if its made of pure awesome parts and not some shit ebay kit which 90% of them are.

though its an NA-T, it is a hardtop car. which isnt a very common thing as you know. and like i said. that car + cash for jesses M3… but at 23k, for a clean, hardtop, bl and swift racing build, its not a rediculous amount. youre basically getting a 10second car with potential for more with some fuel and a bigger turbo. do a set of rods and pistons/ported oilpump, and the GE motor will be ready to go.
granted the price of TT cars have come down, a TT hardtop would still be in the upper 30s even with those miles.

You’re gonna do what you want but if I were you and I wanted a Supra, I’d just sell the M3 for as much as possible and buy a TT down the line. If you’re lucky you might even have cash left over.

I would enjoy a Supra but since Ryan keeps copying me :shifty I’m going to break the pattern and get something else.
😃
Really tho, I need a more beater-esque car that I can rack miles on. If I was spending $25k+ on an [older] sports car, I’d be getting exactly what I wanted, which in this case is a proper manual TT targa. In white. With white TE37s. Because 2004 was the best year ever.
