I like everything except for the font end. I wonder how many hours went into that project . . .

Kinda fugly, but coming from Raceonusa i've gotta give em some props. Their kits aren't really the nicest around (and that's an understatement), but they sure pulled it together to make this one. I'm just not a fan of the lines it has, but different motor, and change those lines around a little, and I'd be drooling all over it.

EDIT: I think I'd rather buy this badboy: half the price, twice the hp, and it's in my immediate area:

I have a huge problem with that car. OK first off its decently cool LOOKING. all carbon fiber bodies definatly a plus for anything. but, its only good for looking at the exterior. you mabye won best toyota most innovated design in a car show, if it werent for the plain inside. but they totally defeted the purpose of a supra. a non-turbo automatic hunk of crap. what is the point of owning the car that has the most powerful post potential filled engine out of japan so far to have it automatic and non-turbo. take that rolling chassi and switch it with what a real supra motor and drivetrain should be and we have one amazing car on our hands. i hate those people how wasted their money on that car. bastards. lol
and they should have the RS*R ex-mag GTII on there....i heart RSR, after blowing my mind in the body and then lookin at the engine compartment an all the rest of the stockness and stupid N/A auto i feel 35% dumber than B 4.....

A tranny swap and a turbo conversion wouldnt be all that hard to do, if they have the money to buy that car, they wont have a problem upgrading it

yes but the thing is...if thats what they wanted they would have bought it that way...they wanted a cheap supra to blow all the money in making it look hot they have no intention on moving anywhere faster than a focus zx3...and that RX-7 with 100k on it was it...if it was drivin like it looks like the owner would want to that rotary is about to blow the apex seal ...hopefully that extra motor has lower mileage..otherwise save ur $ and rebuild the one in it...rotary's are small and fairly easy to deal with.

IMO, that carbon looks pretty nasty. It's probably the resin, but it almost looks brown. Could be from cheesy resin. Of course, in a couple years the whole car is going to be yellow from UV exposure In fact, it looks like it's already started judging by that nasty coloration. Carbon should look black. Dark grey at the worst. But not that pukee color of that car. I do give them props for the amount of work that must've went into that thing though. I'm not going to touch on drivetrain cause you guys have already hit that one right on the head.

NA>T's are common and yeild a lot of power. Auto's aren't terrible either. even a stock NA 2JZ is faster than a lot of cars on the road. that supra is nasty, but i wouldn't call an NA auto supra a piece of crap. with a simple turbo setup, it'll blow your doors off.

1. NA AT Cars aren't necessarily slow or a piece of crap, mine is both, and it still is quick enough to beat over 75% of what I race (and no, they aren't all Hondas).

2. This Supra is coming from Raceonusa, which is a bodykit company, it is obvious, they bought a POS salvaged Supra, and slapped this CF to it with the idea of selling it, not with the idea of making it the next JGTC Supercar. They specialize in making cars look different with bodykits, tuning isn't their business....

3. A common fact about RX-7s: If you buy an RX-7 with the factory motor, or a rebuilt/replaced one w/ over 40k miles, 50% of the time IT WILL GO WHILE IN YOUR POSESSION. If you ever plan to buy an RX-7, automatically assume you will need to rebuild or replace the motor (if not immediately, at least in the near future)....the apex seals are just prone to going out after about 40+k miles....I don't look at RX-7s for what needs to be fixed, I look at them for what it already has, and just add the price of rebuilding the motor into all of that. it's easier to just buy one and rebuild the motor than to look all over for one that may be in "OK" condition (unless there is proof it had a rebuild or swap VERY recently)

ahh, lol, well not "obviously" for all of us, at 1280x1024 I couldn't tell wtf I was looking at. The angle and reflections on the car were playing tricks on my eyes and I couldn't make it out, I see it now

Back on topic (Something us 280ZX guys are known for )... That Supra is just straight up FUGLY. Damn! I like the stock look of that car about ten times better than that TuRD.
