Default Supra POLL im tempted to buy so many

Well guys here it is. I want to know everone heres take on this subject. I have been looking at supras all week long. Of course primarily 6spds mostly stock and none of which are lower than 80k miles. Well For less $$$ I can get an auto with low milage, even 97-98s. I am not sure how far with mods I am going to go with the car. An auto id prob take further just because of ease to drive on the street still rather than a rough manual (my main grip with my Evo).****PLUS I found out 6 spds are prone to CRANKWALK lol, it happens but no where like the DSMs. Autos dont have the problem unless the tq converter is installed wrong or two rough.

Basically I found a low milage 97 auto for the same price as a high milage 6spd. Then there is this which is PISSING ME OFF because it is so freaking clean












plus now he just added a TUNED AEM the car made 380to the rear threw a built autoon 14psi but is running out of spark as it needs an HKS DLI for higher boost. I would add a wing it looks odd to me wangless

It would be nice to have a 6 speed.. But if your gonna take it to the track, go with the auto..

That car looks awesome! Wingless is even pretty hot!

id vote but idk how much you want to do to your car. i say if you just want to do some light work and boltons and stuff, stick with the 6 speed just cause they're so fun to drive. but if you want to track it like advocate said, and your looking for a sh!tload of power, go with the auto so you can get the full effect out of it

AUTO. One of the cleanest Supras i've seen in awhile, and everything under the hood looks pretty neat as well. I agree, if you are looking for a track car, auto is much faster. Not losing boost between shifts should be a priority, to me anyway.

well Im not sure how far I want to go with the car. I want a car that is fun to drive on the street. Not rough, loud,annoying. I dont think a supra will be as bad as the Evo was because 1 this was built and tuned buy soundperformance and Tq, auto and motor will help all the effects I hated bout the Evo with mods.

A 6spd will prob be tougher with lots of mods. I just want a fun car. Id also like a rare color. most important things to me are street drivability and how clean the car is in and out.

This auto I posted up there is a pretty rare color and it is SOOOOOOOOOO clean that is the NUMBER 1 reason I am even considering it

i'd say 6-spd just cause i'm bias... i've missed driving a manual ever since i got rid of my rs. Mostly cause it's fun to drive... but i know how much driving the evo drove you nuts, and if you decide to upgrade the supra (cause we all know it's almost impossible to not mod our cars even when we say we wont) and it becomes annoying to drive, you're gonna be kicking youself in the butt for not getting an auto... i guess it's all personal preference
