It didn't just die. It was viciously and brutally killed by the insurance industry, the gas crunch and CARB among others...

If they make one, It'll be 60-70k and perform about as well as a Z51 Vette, but fanboys will say its the best (GT-R anyone ) because its a Supra.

Not necessarily. Perhaps b/c of rules or tradition? The cars would need a shitload of reworking for AWD as well.

No, because the drivetrain losses are too much, and the advantages are nil. How many AWD cars out ther cut 1.3 60's on drag radials? RWD cars do it all day long.

this site is filled with morons. When the best cars you can think of are supras and skylines your an idiot. Stop thinking what your peers tell you is cool and learn to have your own mind for gods sake.

I'd personally take a Vette over anything Japanese that has been produced in the past oh 70 years.

Thats probably why I AM going to take one over everything here in a month

Carmax may be the sucker

If not, Price will drop to 16,800 in 2 weeks. It'll sell if i have to pay it down to nothing, or i'll trade that shit in. Greenbriar dodge will give me 18,200 on a trade in, but they dont have anything good up there.
