Dont get me wrong, I would and could keep the M, but Im looking to buy a house, therefore eliminating the car payment at this time would be ideal for that. Plus, FI for the Z is "easier" and has a big ROI

I must add that it is a great car, not only for modding but overall its a very well put together car. Belive it or not it was easier to drive than the Z when casually driving. IF u want to find a good mint supra you wont be spending 25 grand ull be spending about 40 plus grand on the ones that are in good condition. Even with alot of miles i see them selling for 40 grand. My bro bought his for 30 from my step brother with 10,000 miles on it about 2 years ago. If ur into modding cars with out spending alot of money and not worrying about reliablility go with the supra if you have the money. I love my Z but the supra has always been my dream car. OH and if are able to find a supa for some odd reason with 40 thousand miles or so then if i were u id buy it anytime over the Z. THe car has never had any problems recorded. Possiblly the best motor when it comes to modding. Has the ability to handle 1000 hp on the stock botom end. THe Z is known to have little defects such as tire feathering, tranny probs. THe supra has one of the best transmissions ever built. THe record of the fastest 6spd supra is held my ryan woon who is making well over 1000 hp on the stock tranny. I my self havent come across this problem. Im a supra freak thanks to my bro and no just about as much about that as my Z. Either way ur gettin a great car. Supra-power,attention,virutally invincible. Z-attention,girls,great lookin car.
Wrong. Supra's need work on the bottom end to make 1000hp. The most you can get from bolt on's are around 550hp. The Supra (and NSX) is the only car I like above the 350Z. But IMO the Z looks better and handles better but I would love to own a Supra. Those things are sweet. Your comment on the car having no problems is kinda fishy. I mean yeah the car is great but No car is flawless. Plus I would rather have the power of a V6 compared to the power delivery of an inline 6. My .02
