Default im soooo lost. opinions?

what would u take,

blk/blk 6mt 04 G35coupe-lowerd-19 blk SF challenges-eyelids- smoked GTR tails- in a month get TN ST-

97 alpine silver targa top TT 6spd Supra limited edition- exhuast- intake-lowerd- nice system-dynoed 318rwhp with just these two mods.

im so stuck on wich one, cause the supra could be made REALLY sweet and fast for cheap. but the G is so classy but i dotn watn to blow up my motor.

What do you want more, performance or looks? If you want a fast car with a decent appearance get the supra, if you want a car that looks HOT with decent performance then get the G. If you ask me i would get the G

Dollar for dollar the G is probably worth more at this point. It would really depend on what's been done to the Supra. It's highly possible that there's a lot of damage to the car that you don't know about.......just think about it an 8 year old car versus a 1 year old car. The 8 year old car has stuff done to it; original matching engine, any suspension damage, is the body/frame still straight, how many owners, track car, etc?

What are the costs of both cars? What mileage are you looking at? What parts have been replaced on the Supra due to it's age and normal wear/tear?



If both cars are in good mechanical shape it'd really difficult for me to choose. My brain says G, but the heart says the Supra.

One last thing you need to consider is what you are going to use the car for. If you want more power for a daily driver, then the G isn't really out of the equation. If you want monster power, then you really need to go with the Supra, unless you are planning on dumping major cash into the G.

Good luck on your hard choice.

The Toy....... but at the same time, the G's got class and the 'edge" on the supra....
Thats a hard decision.....

supra no questions asked. if that supra you are looking at is in good condition with low miles, you could easily sell that for 30k or more here. its fast, easily and cheaply modded with no worries about the internals till past 500 hp and it gives you an exclusivity that no g35 can ever. as far as classy or attention getting goes, I'll turn my head around a couple times if I see a sweet supra. as far as G's go, I see one every 3 mins here so I could care less. I'd say that unless you really need the extra 2 seats or are just plain crazy, I'd go with the supra. plus thats a guranteed classic in a few decades, especially the last production year special edition w/ the 6spd.

Definately go with the Supra....I have had two and loved them both...though its not as plush as a Gcoupe...but it still has a decent amount of luxo ammenities.

FWIW...even with my past experiences with 2 supras, 2 Lexus GS's and my M3 now...and soon to be 350z, I would still take the Supra over the G...

here are two pics of my past Supras

No probs...

Yeah, Im still on SF...will pwr is my user name, but it used to be jza8showff

Hmm....would I take the Supra over all the cars Ive owned....thats a tough one....power potential wise....for sure I would. As for the best combo between perf and luxo..the M3 is the choice.

Right now, after the sale of the M3, Im getting a 350z to have a fun JDM sports car again. I will be turboing it for sure. I was debating between the G35c and the Z, and for what I want...the Z fits the bill more.

the main thing that is bothering me is, i dont want to blow my motor on the G by putting in a turbo. i know it should be safe with just the kit, but i also want potential and modability. i seems that once the TN kit is on the G, you cant put in a plenum or pulleys or something to increas hp b/c you motor will go boom, correct me if im wrong.

where as the supra, its a relaly good budget car, downpipe($400) +cat back(700) + FMIC(1200)+boost controller= way less then the turbo for the G and more hp too.

or option 3, get a vortech sc, headers, catback+test pipes, plenum. would this be as fast as the TN ST on a highway? i would go this way but idk if i want the constant whining.
