Owned a 350z and liked the style/ride over my evo but he's right about the space. Z has just the same space as the supra. Sex appeal is all in the supra/Z but the evo is more fun to drive for all seasons which is why i got it to replace my Z

I made the switch, had a 94 TT bpu++. I ended up buying a 05 MR and I can honestly say traction is a really nice thing. Even with the basic upgrades on the supra, traction was a problem. The Evo is a nice car but stock for stock, it lacks the top end but makes up for it with great road feel and like mentioned its versatility. My MR is resting in pieces due to a snow storm, Hopefully when insurance takes care of this Im going right back to Mitsu and getting another.

For some reason it seems the Supra guys prefer the STI. Probably the bigger engine. Two of my friends have switched to STI's and if the STI forums there are several that have made the switch.

you wont be disappointed if thats what your wanting to hear. a few mods and you'll be super happy. They ride nice enough stock but the cornering and so forth is much better pending on what you had done to the supra

had a highly modded 300zx TT... 500whp or so... miss the torque and fun of burning out. But thats about it, and trust me that doens't mean much when you get behind a car of this calibur, even if it is a mitsu

Hey Tiff, I'm the one you bought the intake from........ the MR with the 280's. Very cool that you had a Supra also.
