Mine is used as a daily 150miles a week commuting and probably another 75ish at weekends because I love to drive it. an n/a isn't as slow as people presume they are still 200bhp or so, tubbys are 234bhp. they can easily keep up with modern boxes too some sites quote them as 0-60 in 7.1secs tubbys are 5.9. An n/a can easily see the wrong side of 130mph according to the specs. I'm lucky with mine its a 92 model so one of the last with the optional LSD and manual transmission. I reckon my next one should either be a '3 Supra or an R32. I've wanted both for ages but never gotten around to it, for one reason or another. How does it compaire to your FC ?

Compared to my FC good question as the FC was modded and my Supra is still as it left the factory. My FC was dropped 60mm on the standard wheels and had a full powerflow stainless exhaust with no cat. The FC was n/a also so with the exhaust and filter was only making 180ish bhp at a guess, but the FC is a lighter car than the Supra so probably perfomance wise about the same. Rotary have a smoother more linear power delivery and just rev. The Supra is more comfortable and feels more stable at high speeds. I don't have my FC anymore but i did love it. It used more fuel though and when a rotary does go bang its gonna cost more than a Supra headgasket to fix. The head gasket is the only real problem but now its so well documented it can be fixed for good then its just normal looking after it and it will be fine. This is mine.. My wife also has a Supra but she has a MK4 2jz

You can't buy happiness but you can buy cars and that's kind of the same thing.
