keron Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 good video.....why did they put those undercar neons on there for?? does anyone own that car on here??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 This is great. As well as the review being broadcast on my birthday in 1993, this video plays on my ancient Apple Cube with OS9! Excellent. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 good review in my opinion. Tiff seemed to cover the main aspects of the Supra, althought in my experience the gearbox from one Supra to another feels very different. He decribes a 'spongy' feel to it, which I did notice on one Supra I drove.... but where as my own UK spec has a nice direct feel to it. Shame there was no track or 'spirited' drive shown on the clip and the neons were not really required I thought but overall I liked it.... good video.

markjodrell Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Thanks for the post, very good. Its just a pity it wasnt on a track giving it some Clarkson style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jspec Germany Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 A disappointing review to say the least. In the hands of the Stig, we would have seen the Supra's true abilities and even though Jeremy would have shat all over it, the Hamster would have given it proper kudos. A shame they let such a sally do the review. Even Rob Sheffield drives more spirited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkTheBoy Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Good find to all involved, when it was mentioned in other threads I was wondering if it would ever turn up. Now that it has turned up im a bit disappointed that theres not any crazy screaching-tyres-round-a-track-action but glad ive finally seen it! Nice one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlotte Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Although Top Gear is mostly panto these days thank god for them because that car would've been shown to it's true potential. I can't believe the differences in car journalism from then to now. Perhaps that's why Top Gear has been criticised so much for their hunger for speed, they are only showing the cars skills accurately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Speed Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 The issue is that in 1993 that was the format of car shows. Occasionally they'd let Tiff loose on a track but usually in a 911. I remember him doing Oulton Park in an NSX with the tc off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 good to watch even if the report was a bit lame compared to todays top gear .btw good find well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Speed Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Nothing to do with journo styles, but Tiff is a real racing driver and he would thrash JC on a track. The feature he did with the ("Japanese Ferrari") NSX was to show how "good:D " the tc was, but then he switched it off to show how "good" it is switched off.

R3DG3CKO ROB Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Awesome find guys!!! Thanks for posting that... Bit confusing though... didn't Tiff say that it was the 'New Supra' due to be released in 2001??? Everyone says it was from 93 though? Someone needs to kick top gears arse into doing a review of how awesome Jap Sports cars are and get the Stig in the Sup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stevosupramad Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Its good to see a video from around the time i was born...well two yrs after, but id really like to see Jeremy Clarkson review a 3.0 twin turbo as they are now with people changing them here and there....And then let the stig take one around the track! Although this would be unfair because all the supra's now a days have different bhp it would be nice to see the supra on the board along with the 911, F430, Enzo and possibly beating them!

Id agree with that, get a modded one off here and race it next to a lambo or something, and see what wins...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
