Yawn.. There are Grand Prix GTP's in the 7s.. Supras have been overhyped since the first Fast and the Furious was released almost 8 years ago..

Wow, that's really cool and really original you said that about 80's Camaros. But I definetaly agree with the person who said that about supporting domestic car companies.

Not really. You're into what you're into. There are import people who wouldn't be caught dead in a new Z06 and there are domestic (preferably GM) people like me who would sell a 1200hp Supra within 5 minutes of someone giving it to me. The only thing I agree with you on is the fact that
most of the 19 second fart canned, body kitted Hondas are dissappearing and they are being replaced with modified EVO's, STi's and the like. As far as "American Muscle" owners being scared of them, well... I'm sure as hell not one of them!

Stock boost on an '86-'87 T-Type/GN is 12psi. GNX's had 14 I believe.. They can handle around 20psi on a stock bottom end. They all respond VERY well to minor bolt ons..
obrien72 wrote:the thing with domestic cars tho is like what cars are actually affordable for tuner kids of a younger generation that dont want a gas hog or a v8 theres the cobalt ss, neon srt4 and ??? all the good domestics are expensive (the ones with v8s)
Well the only good late model V8 cars are or were built by GM, IMO. A kid that's in my club just recently sold his white 6spd '98 WS6 for $6k.. I've seen '04 GTO's going for $8k all over ebay and autotrader.com. As far as gas mileage is concerned, just about any LS powewred vehicle will get high 20s-low 30s mpg on the highway if you drive right.
