Any Supra owners on here?

[Fantango]

Just interested in your average monthly running costs if you don't mind.
Also, is there much in cab space, as i'm 6'6 and fitting in most sport type cars is a pita.

[Fantango]

and also are they as fun to drive as they look?

[Fantango]

anyone?

[tali1]

I don't own one - but do you mean MK3 or MK4? -doubt if either are roomy for 6ft 6ins
With all that power - i would asume they are fun

[Vixpy1]

They really are awesome fun, and i know of peoplem well over 6ft who drive them. Best head over to the mkiv supra forums.

[Fantango]

mk4, should have specified really.
the missus has told me I need to buy something more exciting than a vectra and a supra fits that in her and my eyes
so I need to see if I can fit in one etc first.

Cheers for the suggestion, i'll look at the forum soon

[Stu R]

you'll be fine in one I should think, my mate's 6'6 or thereabouts and fits in his well, plenty of room for me at 6'3

[Wadeski]

one other thing to consider is American cars like a Corvette - they are built for big yanks.

[Fantango]

so should fit me nicely

[DannyB2007]

i was 6ft2 and its comfy with the seat right back, get it done! Loaadds of fun!

So was the Supra, the USA was it's single biggest market.

JamieP I'm guessing is a big chap, PM him and ask his opinion.


As for fun- oh yes.

You will fit easy, i am 6ft5 with loads of room.

[Harvez]

You're fit but dont count on any human with two legs being able to sit behind you =P

Great cars!

Hiya.
I own a 1986 2.8i Celica Supra. Had it since 1991 !

Due to an intermittent starting problem it has been parked up for some while. However, all that is about to change.

I have just started restoring it as I always missed the feel of driving it. It got looks, ( and pleas for me to sell it ! ), where ever I went. I used to love going head-to-head with the old Capri 2.8s. Happy days.

Despite the expense of the restoration, ( and fuel ), I hope to have it going again asap. As soon as I can source a fuel pump for it !

All the Best.

Eddie

Have you eaten lately you anorexic waif? You'll need to be pegged down soon to stop you blowing away

Thats why Im getting rid of the S2k... with the roof off at speed there was a real risk!

I have a MK4 N/A Manual Supra, not the fastest thing in the world but it still has enough power to go head to head with the likes of Type R’s and other smaller hot GTI’s etc.

Its great fun being RWD with an LSD also, tail end action is about as good as it gets IMO.

Twin Turbo’s are a lot better in terms of speed, however you will pay for it in purchase price, running costs and repairs.

They are pretty bullet proof in N/A or Turbo charged, I’m 6’3 and don’t need the seat adjusted right back.
