My uncle just got another Supra for his collection of old Supras- this time its a fine example 1987 Turbo Supra. 3.0 Turbo I6, RWD, 5MT, Targa roof.

We took it for a boot for a few hours on the weekend and its quite fun to drive. Even though its an '87, it still drives like a new car. I was impressed to see how far ahead of the times Toyota was back then as some of the features found on that car are still only available on upper end cars to this day. Power/weight ratio is similar to my Aero wagon, its geared a bit differently though: Its a bit faster off the line, but doesn't pull as strong midrange. The seats are cool too- all of the normal adjustments like tilt, rake, lumbar, but additionally the side bolsters can be adjusted for width just to keep you snugged in nicely. Actually, on his '84 Supra the same thing is accomplished by manually pumping up air bladders in the seat to get the desired shape (like the old reebok shoes!)

There's no need to tell you what kind of performance can be coaxed out of a turbo I6. My uncle's already got another engine for the '84 which we should have rebuilt and installed by the end of summer. A buddy of his is pushing over 600hp on his MK2 Supra!

Sorry for the OT, but I'm sure there's no shortage of people here who can appreciate fun used cars even if they're not Saabs! (Its a turbo at least)
