MKIV supra stock blocks and bottom ends have dynod well over 900 MANY of times and a few even over 1000 not saying they are daily drivers at that HP but they make it without a budge. The supra 6 speed tranny has yet to meet its match 1600HP and counting on drag cars. the EVO will blow apart at about 550hp even that is not bad but the tranny and TC are not to friendly.


The cons of the supra ar the vavle seals and the Auto trannys both. Older supras headgaskets ect ect.... they are much better built then mitsu cars either way. I am not a street racer I dont even race my EVO once and a while maybe. I aboslutly HATE the evos short gears and I am not a fan of teh AWD id rather have a RWD car honestly but at least AWD is not FWD lol.


The biggest thing about the EVO that I will have a tought time parting with is the handleing it is the best I have ever been in for mostly factory suspension.

 

Man not even a mention of the knife edge lines of the 80's model cars. I'm disappointed silver.

 

Hey, I learned to drive in my dad's 81-84(?) Mercury Capri, lol. Oh yeah, I like the EVO's styling too (to add on to the "new cars that appeal to me")

 

I just like the lines of the older mid 80's sports cars. I.E. the Starion/Conquest, Laser, Daytona Ect...

 

I like those too. I'd like to get a Shelby Z and a Starion one day....blah, I've got too many projects in mind. I'm just going to buy a new mountain bike and call it a day, they're cheaper to mod, lol.

 

Car Note for the 350 if it is priced at 20k with a 750+ cred score will be around 450/mth for 72mths w/ 3 G's down. Insurance guess with driver having a perfect record 25+ will be around 150/mth with 500/500 full coverage. So simple easy math is 600/mth. If you can handle that per month along with price of gas repairs and what not go for it. It is up to you. Your money/you life/your choice...lol

 

450/month seems really high to me, because then hes only financing 17k, and what intrest rate are you giving him because on a new car like that he should be getting around 6-7%.

EDIT: Ok here ya go with a 7.25% interest at only 5 years (60 months) and 17k is only gonna be about $340 so i dont know how you figure 450

 

He owns a dealership john

 

yea i know that, but it still didnt make sense to me

 

I am using rough numbers that is all. I am pesimistic when it come to numbers when I don't have a credit application trade appraisal price of vehicle etc etc. Also, numbers do vary from regions. If you are figuring out that the vehicle is 17k after taxes and fees estimated with taxes at 7.75% and fees totaling 600 easy math estimated taxes and fees combined equals roughly 10% then with 3 G's down with a credit score of 725+ you are at 400-425/mth. Interest rates are at 8.9% which is what is being signed 75% of the time at my dealership. Rough numbers.. Let me say this again ROUGH numbers..lol. I am trying to help the dude out to be LOGICAL because buying a car is emotional.. I KNOW since I sell cars..lol. Anyways big picture is what it is. I hope that helps.
