Tyson Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Interesting video Someone on another thread put it best when they said the mkv is a good car but it doesn’t represent 26 years of progress. This is a perfect visual representation of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrGRT Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Nice car. If it had modern launch control to level the game I reckon it would have come a close second. Matt didn't mention car weight for the mk4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Interesting vid. Mkiv held up VERY well considering the age difference. Nice car you have there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Lovely car and great to see a true comparison of performance. I’m a fan of the MKV, but it just doesn’t scream flagship to me like the MKIV does. If it were a flagship, Toyota wouldn’t taint it with a 2.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Ok this is snapping me out of my possibly moving on phase I think, just need to spend some money on the old girl and enjoy it (I think I just had some winter lockdown blues with it being undercover at work) Mkv will depreciate hard and it's 'newness' novelty will almost certainly wear off quite quickly I think. Mines at 1.15bar and has the 1st turbo boost mod so outright pace wise looking at yours there'll be nothing in it at all, especially once rolling. What was I thinking!!

T2 MSW Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) Shame it wasn't dry. She puts up a great fight against the BMs. Never going to beat the gearbox in the new ones though its simply epic.

Trust me I've had the same thought many times, test driven a handful of cars around the 25-35k marker and nothing has ever felt as special as the mk4 supra does to me, even in auto guise I still love it. R35, r8 v8, 911.. they were all brilliant cars in their own way but nothing felt quite as special and unique (I'd still love a r8 one day though) Mk4s are brilliant and like they say in 1993 when it launched it must have blown everyone's mind. The only thing id replace it with is a r8 v10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid money new but getting more affordable and unloved (like the Mkiv was/did) and could be a zero depreciation car if bought right...........could also be a huge money pit as it ages though!

Noz Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Cool video. Love these kind of comparisons. Be nice for them to do another 1000hp, Supra like Lux's or Mikes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Be nice for them to do what they said they were doing too and have all stock cars against each other in the dry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the driver, although very good wasn't used to the car plus the runway was soaking wet and with cold ad08s it really didn't help get it anywhere fast, I tried myself after and was abit of a nightmare to try and get off the line without spinning, a dry day would have been so much better, but also for the mk5s too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
