kamixZR - No I don't think the chick comes with the Supra. Also Skylines are HOT. Saw a blue one drive by the other day when I was out in the Z it looked soooo good. Me personlly I was going to get a Supra TT aerotop but this really good one was au$45,000 so I wen't to see the owner and I bought one his other cars, a 300ZX TT. au$17,500 and I got lots of money to get upgrades which are comming from Japan no hurry for those. Plus he runs a little motorshop and he has Skylines GTR's there all the time, there was a one the other day with a full Nismo 400R kit my jaw droped. So I think I would go for the GTR over the WRX and Supra. Off topic the Skyline and Supra following are much bigger than GT4 and WRX therefor a slightly better investment for resale when the kids arrive. Or buy a minie van for ya gal.  Cody
I hear that.  And K2_Celica Nice list of upgrades there.

The supra has always been my dream car (In a reasonable price range!!), the skyline is also up there, but the supra does it for me. I can get a used 96 tt 4 about 9k (In £ not $ !!!), but in a few years that should come down (With my insurance hopefully!!!!!!!!!!!!)

i like the zx, but i would say that the supra has better look, in my opinion anyway. the zx is a bit to 'squared', another car on my hit-list was the mitsibushi GTO (Or 3000GT - whatever it's called in your area!!), but i was told they have sh*t handeling, but i would still go 4 the supra - in silver.

most likely a MKIV GTI :
 a MKIV Jetta (1.8T, of course) :  or...a 98.5 - 02 A4 (1.8T Quattro) :  ...the car's in the pics aren't EXACTLY how i want them to be...but, more of a reference to how hot these cars can be. i'm still gonna keep my celica...i think my girl will drive it. i'm trying to finish it up befre the summers thru. i've already began staking out these three cars... euro = yummmm...  |

yeah, but dont get an NA eclipse, its a waste. and remember the phrase "DSM's, making mechanics out of ordinary people since 1989." my cousin's GSX was fast, but it had more problems then any car i have seen. -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

VW makes a turbo diesel engine called the TDi (strange, eh?). it's not very strong, but by no means weak. 1.8T is much much better.
the 1.8T is a straight up 5 cylinder turbo. it's one of the most reliable engines with HUGE amounts of potential for big HP... the good thing about the jetta, gti and A4 is that they all share the 1.8T. so, upgrading turbo stuff is pretty much universal. i love my celica and all, it's my first car. but...i have switched to the euro side. the only jap car that i like anymore is my celi, hahaha... 1.8T poooowwwwaaaaaaa!!! |

Well, at the shop I just went to there was a supra with a totally rebuilt engine, direct injection NOS, a fat ass turbo and a beuatiful interiour, the backseat area or whatever was all covered over and had some fat subs in it.... it was a very nice supra! So I might have to lean that way...

A Firebird Trans Am and put a supercharger or turbocharge on it...
Or a Chevy Camaro and do the same to it... or a Stupid Mustang and do the same to it... Why because at least with them, there is a richness and classy demeanor about them, not like a 6gc that in my honest opinion sucks, okay See yah later... Mica in classy mode... |

sorry...brain fart. the audi 1.8t is on a 5V... VW's 1.8t is i4... except on the MKV's...they're going to go with the 5v set up...craziness. MKV R32 is going to be a turbo'd V6 making lot's o' powaaa...AWD too. maybe one of those is in my future (<<~~~yeah, right). |

Uh, I would lean more towards "white trash" than "classy", but thats just me. Class would be like, an Italian car. |
