> The new Supra was completely redesigned, with rounded body styling and featured two new engines: **a naturally aspirated 2JZ-GE** producing 220 hp (164 kW) @5800 rpm and 210 ft·lbf (285 N·m) @4800 rpm (285 N·m) of torque and a twin turbocharged 2JZ-GTE making 276 bhp (205 kW) and 260 ft·lbf (352 N·m) of torque for the Japanese version. For the export model (America/Europe) Toyota upgraded the Supra turbo’s engine (larger turbochargers, bigger fuel injectors, etc.). This increased the power output to 320 hp (239 kW) @5600 rpm and 315 ft·lbf (427 N·m) @4000 rpm. > **[Toyota Supra](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Supra)** > > The Toyota Supra (Japanese: トヨタ・スープラ, Hepburn: Toyota Sūpura) is a sports car and grand tourer manufactured by the Toyota Motor Corporation beginning in 1978.

I didn’t even notice he did? you sure? he rode up to Moon with us in the morning (we didn’t take the death road) and I know he left right after his dyno, which was pretty late (around 5) cause he had to get home. ---

finding a car that is cheaper, and just as modd easy as a supra isnt what I want it for…I want a Supra because they are rare, and can make some HUGE power…Yah, I could go out and buy a C5, or a camaro SS right now if I wanted too…but thats besides the point. I want something that stands out, you dont see alot of and I just love the whole Inline 6 design. honestly…how many Supras do you see on the road compared to Evo’s, WRX’s (everyone and their mom has), STI’s, camaro’s, Mustangs and exspecially corvettes…yes all those car’s have potential to be awesome, power house cars…but thats not 100% what Im looking for…I like the whole being different setting…and well a Supra would keep me in that catagory. Im not saying im gonna buy that very Supra…it just stood out to be to be a pretty sweet deal. Im gonna keep looking untill I find the one I want, then pull the trigger. ---
