Who purchased an FD as a replacement for an MKIV?
I know several guys have replaced their FD with an MKIV, but I'm just curious who has replaced their MKIV with an FD.

I'd look for a C-5 Corvette way before I'd ever consider a Supra. And just how many Supras are twin turbo / manual trans. anyway? A lot of what I've seen are autos or naturally aspirated.

Damn Supras keep going up in price like a mother. If it wasn't for that I would purchase one. I mean those things can make well over 800 rwhp on stock internals. Definetially the most potenntial out of all the other japanese supercars. Too bad it looks like someone wiped poop all over it and then licked it off with their tongue only to find out that the front and the *** switched places .

Amen. I think Supras Mk IVs are ugly. Fat *** rear end and mediocre lines. When it first came out, I thought it looked like a prelude on steroids. On a scale of 1-10 its looks are a 5.

I BOUGHT AN RX7 TODAY! The guy who sold it to me had a N/A MKIV in his garage (supra was his brother's)... I walked over and looked at it and almost puked. The intior is ugly. The outside is alright but I don't like the headlights.

as you can see, MKIV Supras, regardless of the transmission, trim level, and the fact that they were run for 3 more years than the RX-7, are much more rare than the FD.

In fact I see way more Supra's be it TT or not then I ever see FD's.
I can't believe that they sold less Supra's (including the Pu$$y NA version) all together then they sold FD's in 3 years!!!
Why didn't Toyota pull the plug sooner???
I bought an FD to go along with my FC.
And while Supra's are nice cars and make good some really nice dyno numbers, they aren't my cup of tea. Hence why I drive an FD.
I don't think anyone will argue about the looks inside or out of either one.

Hey Joe D,
Thanks for the stats. They were very informative. I think they help make my point. If my math is correct, only about 36% of the Supras sold in the U.S. were twin turbo manual transmission cars.
