The BEST SUPRA MK4 😮‍💨

[@TristianWrites]

I think people forget that these cars were 40k in the 90’s.

[@pat1u]

60k for a Supra is not worth it ever 💀

[@BonBon770]

55 000. And they didn't immediately go up in price. So let's say it was 1995 and you wanted a 93. It was actually cheaper because it was a 2 or 3-year-old used car. Not now.

The fucking shame in it all is they didnt make enough of them!!! They could have pumped them out but they had no idea how iconic the car or the engine would become

[@loganpinner5212]

I think it’s probably better they didn’t. If it was as common as a new Supra people wouldn’t really care as much. Because you don’t see one often, that’s why we care.

[@SaabStory636]

They were expensive car’s, they didn’t make “enough” of them because people didn’t buy them.

[@JB-sv5pr]

Ahhh they maid plenty just not enough in the USA I’m assuming 😅

[@xxsupermanxx567]

They made a lot of supras. It’s just that they had multiple different engines and transmission options at the time. And the manual twin turbo supras are the ones that happened to be made the less amount and clean condition of those cars are worth upper 100k. Although the Supra market is weird in that it actually favors mods and modded supras bring a premium. So you could have had an automatic NA car and with proper mods those cars are still worth 70-80k. Stock NA automatic Supras are like 20-30k today. It’s really only the twin turbo stick cars that are favored to be stock.

Fun fact the manual transmission in the supra is also what dodge called the ax15. In toyota language it's known as the r151, the actual toyota trans in the supra is the r153. Same family line up. Only difference was 1 extra gear and a different output shaft spline count.

[@loganstaal3162]

[@charliechristian1097]

That’s crazy to think about the whining of the supercharger is causing regular harmonic vibration which degrades the metal. We used to machine parts for rock crushers in this old shop in Milwaukee the owner made me toss a $80 piece of steel because I ran a tool too hard or fed the bar too fast and it picked up a ringing noise and he hears it from the office and comes out cuts the lathe off and goes ‘it’s junk buddy you wrecked it’

[@Stanky-P]

i’ve had similar situation happen in a manufacturing facility i used to work at. It was a little embarrassing but if my boss didn’t stop me i would have worked for another hour and a half just to not pass inspection lol.

Almost 50k for a Twin Turbo in 1993 was insane money. Both of my 87s blew the head gaskets. 😅

[@beretta8633]

Different engines though right ? 7M Vs 2J

[@Firealone9]

Also keep in mind that these legendary JDMs, the Supra, GTR, RX7, Evo, were all rated from the factory at 276 hp because of a gentleman's agreement between the companies. In reality, almost all of them were pushing 300 hp or above depending on the model. The factory Mark 4 Supra was dynoed at 336 hp. Nearly 60 hp more than advertised. These cars were the best bang for your buck HP deals of that time.

@LilFoxAK its the Chevrolet 250 engine, the 4.1l I6, with little money put into it you could easily get 750BHP out of it, with still little money and little to no internal work you could get it to push over 2k BHP in a car that based on the Opel's from Germany was significantly lighter in weight, pushing the Power to weight ratio even higher

[@martinqizeaq]

People talk about it because the design is beyond its capabilities. If you said it's average because of the low power out of the factory, then you're right. But the design is capable of putting double the power, just on the stock engine alone is why it got praise to this day. Plus the car can do track, unlike any old american car that focuses on drag racing. So it's not comparable.
