Toyota Supra (MkIV)

When people ask the question: "What do you think of the 1990's?" to me, I tell them a few things. I think: Pokemon, Michael Jackson and Michael Jordan, and a few cars; this being one of them. This car doesn't need any further introduction, just look at the title! The Toyota Supra (MkIV), a car that literally dominated on the streets, wherever it was. 

How it all started/ Inspiration:

This is the fourth generation model of the Toyota Supra. It's predecessors were inspired by its brother: the Toyota Celica, and the Toyota 2000GT.  The hatch is reminiscent of the Celica, while the inline V6 engine is reminiscent to the 2000GT. It's former models would be called the "Toyota Celica Supra", the obvious link between the Celica and Supra. However, when the MKIII Supra came out, the two cars cut the bonds and became individual and distinct cars. The MKIV is definitely the best thing that came out of those vehicles, especially with the 2JZ-GTE engine. In the turbo models, the engine came equipped with twin turbos, making the car even faster.

Vehicle Specs:

Here are the specs of the stock Supra. Just scroll all the way down, and choose the link that says: "Toyota Supra JZA80 3.0 SZ". However, the turbo models are just below that link. It also shows the different model specs as well.

The Focus: 

The car was a beautifully engineered car that can reach 0-60 MPH at 5 seconds, and to this day and age, that's pretty remarkable. It was focused to get people to not choose the Nissan 300ZX. Also, this car was made for the driver, allowing him to go at crazy speeds or cruise along however he pleases. The price of the car was $36,000 when new, and $40,000 if the person wants the turbos. Nowadays, a person will have to pay $30K just for a used model like this, that isn't hampered by people who raced their Supras on the track or on the street. 

My Opinion:

This is one of the few dream cars I would love to own. This car is ingrained in my brain as something spectacular, beautiful even. My only problem would probably be finding a "good" one, a car that hasn't been hampered or damaged. My other problem would probably be the interior: it doesn't suit passengers as much as the driver, for this car is mainly driver focused. However, that's not too bad because hopefully I'll be able to drive one and own one.
