In 1996 the USDM Supra came in auto N/A only because the Turbo model couldn't pass the OBD II conversion standards. It would also help explain why they made it a special edition for all the models to help boost sales.

QUOTE(Newbie @ Jul 19, 2005 - 2:43 AM) Manual : Does not develop boost when stopped. What's stopping me covering the brakes, and winding the car up against them in 1st gear? Rally cars used to launch off the handbrake for this reason. -------------------- JDM ST205

A LOT of old muscle drag cars are automatics, and they're very fast.
