3,515lbs!! Why the hell are MKIV Supra's so heavy?
Weight is the killer in any good sports car, so why would Toyota make the MKIV so damn heavy? They're not big cars by any means, I just don't understand what it might be.. I'm looking into buying one within the next couple years and was wondering what could be done (MKIV specific) to lower that massive curb weight --------------------  |

for the same reason that the 300zx TT are so heavy
they have a lot of plush crap that goes with being the flagship car. the power seats are probably 50 or more lbs each, the sound system, 5lbs a speaker, the back seat, sound deadening material, and all around strong metal that weighs more. -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition
