I think they always have been RWD, and if not then thats weak.

I can only guess if there are a few FWD then they are the weaker and older versions.

the standard supra is rwd, but there was also a top-of-the line "all-track" maodel that was all wheel drive, i think. i saw an add for one in an old magazine. Ive seen a couple supras at a local dragstrip, and one of them had the biggest turbocharger on it that i have ever seen. the blow-off valve sounded like a gun when it went off. the car ran in the nines, which is pretty fast, and i think they drove it there.

ive been a supra before...it was one of my friends friends from a different state..the best part was that HE asked ME if i wanted a ride, i was like f--k YEA!! it was fast it spun from 1st to a lil or 4th...it was pretty cool..but it wasnt as fun a ride as in my friends nova now that was fun...it pulled a wheelie from a light and the best part was some guy in a civic wanted to race...HAHAHA! next light we asked him if he still wanted to race, but he said no.. to bad....

Wrong, nines are extremely fast. Sport Compact Car had an issue with a 9 second Supra on the cover a while back. I still haven't heard of an EVO VIII to break 10 seconds. There was money up for grabs for the first tuners to make a 10 second run in an EVO, but I haven't heard of anyone doing it yet.

No, I hadn't heard about them. That's pretty cool.

What are you talking about? Subaru SPT devision still makes and races that same street class drag car. Subarus are not drift cars, they're rally cars, big difference. and subarus are very much in the street racing scene.....too much IMHO

correction...I just found the article in the latest subiesport magazine about the spt '9-second street subaru'.....just hit [email protected]. and the ESx pro drag car hit a 7.9

but back to the topic...

you think wrong

supras were never offered, any any market, at any time, in any trim level, with a differential in the front (from a toyota factory at least....I know of a couple with some minor modifications.....but that's a different story). see the period? end of story.
