been wanting a supra for years now and i am really looking in to atm as i got a really good quotation of the insurance. no one else has ever gave me a quotation before becouse of age/power etc! whats your views on these n/a supras? handling? power response?what are they like to drive as there huge lol. i can imagine it been pretty great since its got a 3 litre engine and runing 240+ bhp stock i think.

does any one own one?? whats your views??

Let me put my 2 cents in. First off I am a N/A supra owner and love it. I got it at a good price and used it to build my credit. Second N/A supra's make more power and have better flowing heads then the TT Supra's. If your going to get a N/A make sure its a 5 speed and not an automatic. Then you can go N/A-T and hook up a R154 tranny which will hold good power. Or you could go and by a Getrag 6speed for 3000-5000 USD and that will hold whatever you through at it.

I like them and there are a lot of people that turbo them so dont really listen to any of these guys lol J/K...

Go to supraforums.com and http://www.clubna-t.com/forums/

those are great resources. Also TT are still overpriced IMO.

I drove my mates tt one and i fell in love. such a nice comfortable car to drive and the pull is serious. i had a 360 bhp evo that was muchfaster than it but the supra was a much nicer car to drive so smooth great for cruisin. dunno about the n/a ones but i'd say they're not too bad if your after looks and comfort rather than power

my plan is to get a n/a supra keep it for couple years so i get more no claims then TT it so insurance wont be so bad and it will be afordable :) i kno some one who will TT it for a very decent price so all is good, i would get the supra prepared for the TT by upgrading brakes,suspension etc etc:) tbh i am not botherd about all this huge amount of power yet anyways i want a more comfortable motor now, i have never drove a RWD car and the size of it lol so n/a will be a really good start. so this is going to be a project

Just a thought..but would you not rather something with a little less cc but faster? Supras are sexy out, will always turn heads...no doubting that but I think 220bhp and all that weight is going to frustrate you eventually, espicially with all the fuel your using! Try these for size:

Surely cheaper to insure and run then a supra? (and more fun)
