Weight will be important. If it can be 300 lbs less than a Z, that would be a hard advantage to overcome for Nissan.
If Toyota will go all the way with Project Supra, I trust it will be one special Toyota!

You think the concepts shown in Detroit were just fun, inexpesive hybrid styling exercises?

CL 63 AMG boasts the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 engine in the world.???
I dont know much in details about car engine, can any1 tell me whats the difference between the naturally aspired and the twin turbo??? i know the twin turbo engines are fast but what else is the difference, i wanna to know in detail.
I want to know everything abt it how does it feel while driving whats the power difference whatever info u guys got....... all kinds of info will be appreciated
Of course, the last time I drove one was years ago now, it was an off-lease '98 with about 30K miles. They wanted some huge price for it, although since it was a Toyota dealer they also would have leased it again. Should jave gone ahead with it, it was in sweeeeeeet condition! :-)
Anyway, none of this is about the future Supra we are all still hoping for, but now feel is not coming, so I will add one thing, a stern admonishment for Toyota: IT HAD BETTER BE AVAILABLE WITH A STICK!
If Toyota DOES bring back the Supra and then makes it auto-only, my face will look like this... :mad:
That would just be a stupid move.

How comfortable was this car???
I dont know 1 thing toyota is a big company and a very profitable 1 .. so why dont they make coupe and sports cars like the mercedes Cl class or the bm 6series...
I hope they start making it in the future...
Like "Lindsay Lohan" and "sober"....

In Japan the Supra ran on several more years, eventually being dropped because that whole class of car has just disappeared from the Japanese market in favor of the cars the Fast N Furious crowd would like: small displacement sedans and coupes with turbos and whatnot on them.
It was a snug fit in the cockpit, but if you want to get a sense of how the future model woulod hypothetically be to drive, go sit in a Lexus IS 350, better yet drive one around. I suspect that despite all the talk of various prototypes and wild speculation about the future model, the only way it will really reach the U.S. with a Toyota badge is as a disguised IS350 coupe with less equipment than the Lexus, with perhaps a V-8 option, who knows.
In fact, they may also make a more luxurious Lexus GT variant to capitalize as much as possible on the up-front expenditures.

No source, so very doubtfull. However (imagine ;- ):
Next Toyota sportscar concept identical to FS-HT and many other Toyota concepts (as seen on http://response.jp/GIGAINDEX/recent/369.html)
announced at 2007 Tokyo Motor Show. This will be huge again, last year there was none. So you can expect a lot of interesting stuff to come.
One year after that, the introduction. (mind you: 2008, Toyota 50 years in Motorsports).
Do not despair, 2008 is the year !!! Goa moar snel veur aain spoar'n.

It seems more and more likely that Toyota will bring back the Supra. If you YAHOO 2008 Supra you get plenty of websites predicting the car's development. The consensus is that the V6 version will be a modified version of the 3.5L engine powering the IS350 pumping out close to 350 HP. While the all new 5.0L V8 will be producing close to 450 HP. Price starts from 40K for the V6 and 50K for the V8.

Toyota, give us an affordable Supra!
--SupraBob">
Looks like minimum power for the base model will be at least 300 hp though, so there's value for that higher price. I hope they go ahead and build a stick shift hybrid model.
Toyota also has the new RWD lightweight coupe in the works too, so now I face the dilemma of which I am more interested in. The Supra is bound to come in heavy, 3500 pounds at a minimum I would guess.

body style and it ws black to boot, I couldn't resist it. I was 21 years old and the car on the show room was black. $18000. It was every penny I had saved my whole life. So I bought it with 3 miles on it. I had a very harsh lesson to learn in Colorado.
I was used to my 4X4, Now it was winter snowing big time. And now I had a rear wheel drive with gaterbacks.
That did not work. I had to buy a FJ-40.
My supra never sat outside over 1 night. I drove it only 14000 miles in 20 years, it is perfect! How do you sell something like that for a reasonable price? I even had to buy new tires, the Goodyear tires dry rotted with great tread.Does anybody have any ideas? That would be great!
One very important detail is WHAT MODEL?
If I were buying, I would want to know a very detailed service history. What did you do to the car each year? How often did you change the oil? How old are the belts and hoses? How did you deal with the gas in the tank over time?
But, anyway, I think the only way to go with this is auction. I would try out Ebay. As to what your reserve should be ... well, that's tougher. Have you thought about having it appraised? I would think the car may qualify for Hagerty's insurance, and I believe they can help you out with getting an appraisal, too.
Just remember, you want TONS of pictures and very very detailed information as I've described above.
