Cheers for the replies guys. Makes sense a little more now why there are so many autos around. I have to be honest, I've never really driven an auto with any kind of power, so I might have to give it a try, although am still pushed towards a manual. I guess it feels like i'm drivng it rather than the car, but I could be easily swayed. Cheers for your help, and I'll keep Supra hunting!

Cheers for the quick replies guys. I guess what I was trying to say really was, which is better? I've spent years buying different cars and ploughing thousands into them; but if I was to make a step into the Supra world I would want to make sure I got something decent that I would be happy with (So something in/around 450-500bhp, but that ran well and didn't need thousands more ploughing into it) Thanks in advance,

Hi guys, Hope everyone is good! I've recently been tempted away from my current car (350z) towards something i've always loved, the Supra. I've spent some time looking around at what is for sale, but one thing that struck me as odd was the amount of fairly high powered supras running an auto gearbox. Is there a reason for this? Are the gearboxes able to handle more power? Or is it just a case that the auto was a more popular option in the UK, so are more likely to be auto? What I was originally looking for was something twin or single turbo'd, manual, that had been tuned. But I'm starting to wonder if I should broaden this by looking at autos too? Thanks in advance,
