Steve Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Asking that question on a Supra Forum is going to get you a biased answer. I say Supra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmark Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 i was taking the petrol consumption into consideration too!! If petrol consumption is high on your list then do not buy a Supra. Walk away now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Proprius_Emundo Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I love the look of the Supra, it really does hit me and what you can get it to look like, SO much potential.......I love the potential power too, I just dont want a major guzzler, I guess I'd be looking at a NON-turbo, or at most a single turbo. In saying that, I wouldnt 'horse it' anyway! I mean I'm thinking the turbo would kick in about 3 thousand revs mark, guess its how u drive too right?

They come standard as a non turbo or a twin turbo. The single turbo cars are modified to that later. I still say that if you are worried about petrol the car is not for you.

R Black Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Single turbo is more consumption than twin Is that still true if you poodle around? as the tubs cut in later? obviously they will drink more than standard with a heavier foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, to be fair i replied without explaining what i meant A single turbo is a modified car as CJ said, and in general the fuel system has been modified too. when used 'in anger' they use more fuel, but if pootling about apparently they use less than a TT Just cost more to buy and insure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 3 ltr performance car WILL always be a 'gas-guzzler' compared to smaller engined cars. I think the ecomomy for a N/A Supra (non-turbo) is very much the same as TT (20-22 mpg) The turbo's come on line from 1800 rpm, so you often find you're using them with very little throttle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I'm sure somebody in the trade told me that parts were mega expensive (buy may have beena dream) but may be worth checking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMiFFAD Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Ive had two S14's, which are silvias in japan, depends what you mean by silvia, it covers 200's for the last 20 years Fuel consumption, theres not a lot in it, but the supras marginally worse. The TT supra and NA are pretty much the same consuption wise i believe. TT supra has tonnes more power than the sx. NA supras probably a little slower due to its weight (S14's weigh in roughly the same as a turbo MR2) SX slightly cheaper to insure (especially if its a UK one, which most are) and far far faaaaaar cheaper to buy. Friend of mine picked up a quite tidy one for £2.8K the other day SX cheaper to mod, you can get a front mount for about 200 notes, and its a good one. Dont bother importing one, unless its an S15, there are thousands of UK ones for far less money than imported ones. IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
