just wait on new supra if you want a supra. I dunno getting rid of a 2015 to go back in time to have a supra just seems odd to me. I dunno been over that car for years though because they've all been rode like a dirty whore and put up wet.

As much as I love a clean Supra......you can beat the piss out of the Mustang and it won't give you any grief. A Supra...I feel you'll always be repairing or on the verge of repairing something.

I wouldn't want to drive a Supra often, either, because of bad roads and bad drivers. I have no problem hopping in the Mustang and tearing it up.

Also, I saw a Magnetic Performance Pack Eco at Speedway on Cherry Hill and Wayne in Westland yesterday around 5:30, was that you?
Yea I keep going back and forth what I keep trying to tell myself if that financially it's certainly not worth it, it would only be for my own pleasure and an expensive pleasure at that. I'm glad I posted this up because it's making me love my mustang even further. I want the big turbo but I gotta wait until I trade this one in and buy my next one.

Wasn't me out in Westland I live in the walled lake area and I was working in novi all day.

Also glad to see I'm not the only one modding my lease

:cheers:
Yea I have no regrets man I did intake exhaust and tune so nothing major and I can pull it all off and swap oem before trade in in less than 3 hours total. I'd do the big turbo too if it wasn't so much work lol. This car is cheeeeaaaap to mod, when I modded my supra, parts were expensive as all hell, and if you mod one part you had to mod another. Big turbo equals big tires and better suspension also. It was never cheap

The Supra engine may make more ultimate power with modifications, but you're still going to be riding on a 20-year-old suspension with 20-year-old technology and doing without things such as modern electronics and a factory warranty.

Now, if you'd mentioned, say, an FD Mazda RX-7 my advice may be different.

FD is awesome, never had one but always wanted one. Only thing keeping me from one of those is no back seat. Gotta have something everyone can ride in for me now

Got a hard laugh outta this!

Yea but overall how much modern tech is necessary I just lie ripping around, but I have grown to love my SD card reader for my music... Although the next one if mustang will be ordered base with recaros..... Ahh this stinks I'm so torn between them. That last scene in fast 7 (lol yea I know) just watching that beautiful white supra... Damnit !!!!

If it's to be driven every day, I'd prefer something modern. If for weekend, a slowly appreciating car like a Supra would be fun...but for similar $ I'd prefer a '93 Cobra.

I would get the Supra easily but only if it was low mileage.

Get a Stang, it won't be modded when you buy it unlike 99% of the Supra's out there
This is true too, and since I already have the intake exhaust and tuner for my current Eco I wouldn't be spending money again on those similar parts, just as long as the 17/18 years will still fit those parts. That the only fail I didn't think about is that if they change anything from the 15 for intake and exhaust I may be forced to buy a new system anyways

I still have a Supra, man I never thought I would say this but the Stang is just so much nicer to ride in. Plus with the far better fuel economy I just can't find many reasons to drive the Supra. Good thing it's the wife's car now.

I really appreciate the comments! May I ask, what year you have and what model you have?

Ive also kinda forgot that I have a Lexus is300 that I am planing to do a GTE swap into as well...

I say get the new car. The motor itself is immortal but what else is really great about the car. I don't even think it was the best looking one of the era. RX-7, 3000GT had sexier lines in my opinion and the interior is a plastic parts bin from a 90s Rav-4.
