Is the 1991 Supra Turbo the BETTER Toyota to BUY than a 2024 GR Supra?

Ironically this was a technical showcase at the time. It was WAY ahead of the curve on all the options it offered and they didn't didn't spare any expense. But it's also fairly simple at the time same.

Leased a new 1987 Supra Turbo. Pearl white, 5 speed manual, optional anti-lock brakes. Best car ever. Not one issue. Drove to California twice from Florida. 125mph cruising in the southwest desert. Hatchback made it the shaggin’ wagon, too. Turned it in after 5yr lease for a Mercury Sable Wagon, and a family. Should have turned in the family, and kept the car!

[@stevenkreiss2113]

Should have brought the wagon for the family and kept the Supra for yourself...

I haven't even owned any cars newer than 01' (That's my Celica GT-S and to me it feels like a modern new car.) Do not in the least care for infotainment or modern designs due to safety standards. MK3 is the most raw driving experience you are going to get for the money, all I can ask for. Plus ya'know, I like to work on these things myself and you can actually do it without a $7,000 scan tool lol.

The sheer build quality and especially the interior cannot be beat. Most comfortable seats ever. No ABS, no TT, no bs. It's a straight up luxury ride. The new one is an uncomfortable cramped sports car with fake vents. Drive mine multiple times a week in this season. This is IT.

13:03 Correction: 1JZ came with Supra mk3 in Japan in 1991. The 1G engine is actually closer to the 3M in the 2000GT than 7M, same bore and stroke even. Yamaha worked together with Toyota on the 2000GT engine and they also made the 1JZ and 1G engines with Toyota. 7M was a Toyota only project.

The best Supra to me is the MK3... its my dream car my uncle had one and i absolutely loved it. And i ended up with 2 of those to fix 1 a few years back but cause of personal issues i had to sell it all.... its still the car i really wanna own one day.

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

Yes of course Joe & I will buy this classic car.

[@RaitisRides]

I can see you driving this one!

[@HeyMK3Guy]

Hey now! Haha

[@Da89soup]

Well considering the Mk3 is an actual Toyota over a BMW! The MK3 is best in JZ form and not in 7M head gasket sadness as Toyota gave us in the United States. I have had a couple MK3's and they are fun cars. I made the correct decision years ago and went Z32 mostly because I cant afford a Mk4 for a summer toy car. The Z32 put the MA70 in its place in 1990 and then Toyota said not so fast in 1993 with the MA80! Such a great time in the golden age of Japanese cars.

[@JustinPennito]

I had an '87 MKIII for two years that had an electrical problem I was never able to figure out. Countless mechanics looked at it. Changed out so many things. One day it ran perfectly, the next it wouldn't run at all. It was the car I learned how to drive manual on though.

[@HeyMK3Guy]

Weird! Electrical demons are the worst!

[@Big.W.]

It might be corroded battery terminals. Just get them cleaned with some brake cleaner. That would be nice

The parts added to this car are what we call BPU (basic parts upgrade stage 1). My car is on the heavy end. Pretty much loaded. The Eibachs were a little stiff for me. I went with Tein coilovers.

[@jeffreyxiong205]

I see these 89-90 supra turbo having blown heads due to poor head gasket. Though the 7m motor is very reliable the head gasket was it's biggest problem.

[@TheSkyline5467]

I owned an 89 N/A and that convinced me to never buy the low end version of a car again. Of course, now there are great cars that aren't the top car, but the power differential and other issues like the freaking head gasket were disappointing. Still, a lot of fun to drive!

This car means a lot to me bc growing up my mother had a 82 black on black Supra with the digital instrument panel, my father had a 83 blue on blue 5spd. later on in life my dad had a red 92 turbo targa top and finally when i brought my first car it was a blue 89 turbo targa top.

[@original__gmebvy]

If I ever buy an A80, the first thing I want to do is engine swap it and put the B58 from a GR Supra 3.0 in there. People do 2JZ swaps on some of the GR Supras, fair is fair right? Some Recaros, Brembo 4 pot calipers all the way around and a set of deep dish BBS wheels would make it have some German DNA, so the engine would complete that quadfecta, and also get under the skin of some purist enthusiasts. And to take it up a notch, pair the engine with the ZF8 and rebuild it to handle extra hp and torque.

[@buzzedo1]
