it's a pretty well built auto, though.
"Transmission:
SP Custom Automatic Transmission
Precision Industries Billet Torque Converter
B&M Supercooler Transmission Cooler
Amsoil Fully Synthetic Transmission Fluid"
Alot of high hp drag cars use built auto trannies b/c they're more consistent and shift just as fast. It's not like you have to choose which gear you want to be in like in road racing or autox...it's just straight upshifting.
yeah i know but come on,
would you really want to drive an auto tranny???
its okay when your tired and just dont care, but i always finds myself trying to shift gears in my girlfriends plymouth breeze...

I know...I'd much rather have a stick to play with (ewww...that sounded so suggestive). But for that car, I doubt the tranny is much of a handicap.

mileage is to high , automatics stink!
Its cool, I like supras a lot but I personally wouldn't buy a (heavily) modded car unless I knew and trusted the person I was getting it from.

according to the ad, true mileage was like 107K, but mileage with a new motor was only 17K.

I was gonna say 107k! #### NO! But then I saw it's only got 17k on the new motor. And to tell you something about an auto tranny...Many of the super fast drag Supras and 300ZXs are autos. Just keep that in mind. If I were to buy it, which I wouldn't, I would swap in the 6-speed. For 50 grand, there's plenty of other stuff I'd rather have. Like Clint's twin turboed SC300! He dropped the Supra TT engine and 6-speed tranny into it. When I talked to him about it, he said all the work and modifications totalled to be about 26-30 grand...but if you think about it: Used SC300s are about 12-15k...maybe cheaper now. 35 grand for a 765rwhp monster that can take pretty much everything on the road! He toasted a Venom Viper and 2 11sec 1/4 RX-7s! I've got some of his videos...if anyone wants them, maybe someone with a ftp server or website could put them up.

Yeah, that car is faster than any car you will ever own, just because it's an automatic doesn't mean shit. It will smoke your little 240sx. Beautiful paint and wheels, come on are you kidding that you wouldn't pimp that car??!
BlankFlip
11-02-2001, 10:04 AM
the 714 whp would make up for that being an automatic, i'd definitely pimp it.

Aside fom the fact that I don't have 50 G's I guess I'd buy it. I'd rather get a S4 for 40 and drop 10 thou in mods. But I don't see what's wrong with that Supra.

11-02-2001, 10:46 AM
The only reason why I wouyldn't but that car is the NOS, I'm not a big fan of it. Especially if I didn't put it in.

If I had 40 grand, that baby would be mine!!! And I also would not mind having a 400-hp automatic. Anything under I think should be stick. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> For me, at least.

BAHAHAHaaaaaaaaaaaaa
that's warrens car. "Mr i don't give invoices" with orders.
anyone notice what hanging from the rear view! lol.
he had a little preformance part biz "VTS" but he was a crappy service rep and did things the WRONG WAY.
i bought my ground control coil over kit from him. it was a good deal but it took 21-28 days to get to me, and my account was charged with-in 24 hours of the order. for more on Warren(AKA the asian Corky ) click here>>>

*edit. i think he owes some one money and he's totally getting out of the mk4 and presormance BIZ.

how can you prove it only got 17K on the new engine? looks nice, but if you spent 100K on a car, why would you sell it for 50?
DragonReborn214
11-02-2001, 03:32 PM
Thats not too pricey for a supra. Warren was cool with me. He even sent me some extra stuff.
Anyways, Auto supras are faster than 6 speed, just so you know...

HaloZ, Ive been reading your link to the post about warren for over an hour.......hilarious......Thanx
isnt the auto tt supra faster than the stick n e way? thats what i heard and with 714 HP who gives a rats ass? lol
vancouvers14
11-02-2001, 06:18 PM
when you've got 300 hp+, i'd rather have a stick. who cares if its a tenth faster or whatever with auto
whateverjames
11-02-2001, 06:27 PM
autos are faster when you start getting into that kind of horsepower. always got the perfect amount of boost, won't bog, and won't burn your tires away. also having nitrous and an upgraded transmission helps. lance is right.
also i've heard that the Z that runs 7.7 is an auto. i've heard if it were a manual it would be slower, in the quarter at least

its not the horsepower its the tranny. what happens with the supra is not only that its slightly faster (barely noticable) but it wears the clutch less because it grabs the clutch faster. anywho the problem with the manual supras and why theyre slower is cause the manual tranny isnt that good. stick in aftermarket trannies and itll be faster it has nothing to do with horespower (as stated by whateverjames) cause if that were so then everyone with 600+ hp would have an auto.

drag cars use sequential shifters. a manual should be faster.... if you can drive it. blame the driver, not the car imo
HaloZ
11-02-2001, 08:08 PM
9 sec sequential shifter skyline. looks street legal to me, full dash. if it was a drag car i think it would have a carbon fiber dash and just needed guages

sickening... cars with so much power you need to tape a piece of paper to your pedal and blow on it if you dont want to die
chickenmanq
11-02-2001, 10:37 PM
Waaaay overpriced. It's really nice and all. I'd take the engine/transmission/running gear and stick it in my 96 hardbody. Who would buy that thing for 40 grand, when you can build the same thing for half the cost, and stick it in an unassuming body, then waste all the muscle-bound morons in their "built" camaros? Excluding 67-69's of course, just 'cause I love 'em.

That car is pretty sick, I wouldn't complain if I had to roll the city in that.
But if you have 40k to drop on a car on EBAY, then one would think you could afford a trany swap.
If a manual tranny is all you long for, put one in. Besides, 714hp is more arguing power then I have ever dealt with. Not many manual cars could keep up with this baby.
When you go to the track people are interested in your time, not so much how you got it.
