Hmmm see a supra own a gtr off the lights? can happen depends on alot of factors, but it can. Remember that no matter what you do to ur car chances are there is gonna be something faster out there. if you want a car to get you accross a set of lights faster then something else why not look at a rexy? pick a MY99 up for 15-20g n then spend 15 more in it and i rekon it would probably do better then a gtr across a set of lights. I think you should just test drive a couple and see how you like them.
Also im 6foot and i fit into a supra no problems at all... so i want whatever he is on.
Looks, i agree cant be debated, matter for you.
If your going to the occasional drag i would suggest the supra simply because they have a stronger motor and a stronger gear box, so if all goes well you will end up spending less over the period of time. Also if its a weekend car then a bit of tyre burning will be fun wont it? Remembering that it can be fixed.
If you are only concerned with a street machine id call you a moron because with the laws the way they are today, you will loose you license, car, may see a couple nights in a cell (depending on age and attitude) and build up a nice debt due to all the fines and what not that you will have to pay for, and thats if your lucky, what if you kill someone? Leave the racing for the track not the street.
Again its your choice not ours, go to www.supraforums.com.au and have a chat to some of them about their cars, they have a wealth of knowledge and test drive. Take your time in buying and buy what you really want.
