Hello all

You know it's about that time to get another ride. I've been checking out supras for a while, and it's soon time to jump in. I know there is the Z06-Supra question all the time on other forums, and I can tell you the Z06 is one hell of a ride from the factory! I do a lot more highway driving than anything now, and I would like the straight line performance. As rare as these cars are, I don't have the opportunity to drive one before I buy. Am I going to be in shock with the lag before "it" hits, or not really care after the turbo/turbos kick in? The Z06 was push and go. It pulled the same power in any rpm.

I might be dropping some other questions as they come. Thanks in advance.

Re: Hello all

LOL, answered my own question and bought one! To be honest, I like the car better. The power is way different, but I love it.

Re: Hello all

Good luck with it. Are you going to keep it at BPU or do you have any plans for a future single turbo upgrade? I forget if you already posted this, but is yours a 6sp or auto?

Re: Hello all

I'm gonna do the single upgrade next year. I wanna try and stay on the stock fuel system, I may go with the AEM as well. Oh, and it's an auto. I was very surprised with the auto. I love how it keeps making boost through the gears.

Re: Hello all

Congrats on your choice. The MKIV is a fun ride. I really enjoy my automatic as a daily driver. I even take it to the road course, and do pretty well, thank you!!
BTW - I upgraded to a small single (57mm) and stayed on stock fuel. I might do more when my stock tranny breaks and I upgrade to the BL automatic.
