yeah the CTR is a hot car, you might have to worry about that

Have you consider Nissan 240sx? Since Supra is one of your choice, I assume you wouldn't mind another turbo car? 240sx (S13, S14) with a SR20DET and some supportive mods will be a FUN car to drive/drift/whatever u plan to do with it.

Since I am a former Honda fan, I'd go with the CTR. Like you said it is more rare, and with the motor you have already, will be a blast to drive.

Also, how much is the price difference between the two? If you are getting the CTR for much less, then that is more money you have left for go fast parts

and you drive an evo and u say that




like some of you mentioned there is a BIG price diference i would be saving TONS of money if i went with the CTR almost half the cost.

Not really into the drift deal so a 240 isnt an option i would honestly look into. I see most people would go with the Supra, but comming from hondas the CTR apeals (sp?) to me a bit more.

Either way i have a month or 2 to decide and i still have it in the air

For a road course car, I'd go with the CTR. It's mostly track ready already and would be cheaper to run on the track. For a car to just drive around on the weekends with, I'd go with the Supra. Leave in all the comfy stuff, build the motor for 700whp or so and have fun

Is this a joke? ANY HONDA is not even comparable to a Supra.

No offense but, why do people have the Supra up on some freaking pedestal?

I know it can make stupid power but, you'll spend stupid money to do it. You throw enough money at anything and you can make power.

It looks good. I can't argue that but, the interior is...well....it's over a decade old and it shows.

It's heavy.

I dig the motor and that seems to be it's biggest selling point but, I'd much rather put it in an IS300 or something.
