fessen Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 But here goes.. I can't decide whether i want a Nissan Skyline or Toyota Supra. Performance wise, what edges it? Or are they very similar?

Lbm Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Well giving it more thought, this being a Supra forum and everything, I'd have to say buy a Supra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I have owned both a few times and look what I drive The Skyline is more expensive to look after and tune, its factory finish is poor and it has a nasty interior, however the power delivery and handling is amazing, tough choice, as Jamie said, get a ride in both I have to add this info goes for the GTR range, the GTS is a very different car and is the not a match for a TT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can i pick your brain? Well if i had a supra, i'd only be looking at a N/A to start with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 test drive a few of each, try a few options, auto supra etc, then decide which one you liked best. I always choose a supra, but then I have to really. Could you imagine the uproar if I took up taxi driving.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old one is for sale http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/985304.htm Your age is not really going to allow a GTR, the GTS has the looks but is not a great car, it is worth getting a drive in one, they are RWD and fun but build quality is not great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, in that case, you draw out a wad of cash, probably 12k will be more than adequate for anything less than a time warp R33 GTR or ultra low mileage, very late VVTi manual, you read the ads, make an appointment to view, wave some of the readies to show you have the means to do an on the spot deal, ask for a test drive, try a few others, make your decision, and part with said wedge in exchange for the chosen car. Don't tell sellers about the chartered accountant bit, A: They might think you are connected with the dreaded tax man, or B: They might decide you can afford more than an impoverished and scruffy slob like me There's an art in when to wave the wad, and how much of it to claim is all you have in the world, leaving the rest out of sight. It's an art form acquired with time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 If its a case of R33 GTS/T or Supra, then Supra every time. However if the option was R32GTR or Supra then R32GTR, i have driven tuned versions of both, performance and handling wise the GTR wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
