Big Ads Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 LOL they didn't dare put their FTO's against the Supra and the Rex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 All in the eye of the beholder. I like RX7s a lot and think their facelift model looks more modern than a Supra. Our big lights make them look a bit dated now IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stupra Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Cracks me up how someone compare's a modified Rex, with a standard Soop !, not really a fair comparison.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I like both cars for what they are. But the opinions of FTO owners have never really mattered to me, clearly their own taste in cars leaves a lot to be desired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kslb Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Cracks me up how someone compare's a modified Rex, with a standard Soop !, not really a fair comparison.. Did the Supe not have a bomex front end! Which is pig ugly and a dodgy superman logo!!! They chose to drive an FTO anyway like I would value their opinion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 If I didnt have a supra I think Id probably go for a Rex. Nice cars but tough to compare with a supe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_supra Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 They chose to drive an FTO anyway like I would value their opinion! In all fairness the FTO is a really good car, the V6 sounds amazing when you put your foot down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Quite a funny thread. I had to restrain myself a good 5 times from replying to this comment: "The interior of the Supras is disgusting!" WTF. Where has this tit-head been, has he even sat in the cockpit of a Supra? Time and time again people who get in the passenger seat of my car are amazed at the swooping cockpit and lavish dials etc. They love it. This guys is clearly frikking demented.

hoff Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I agree with that. Everyone who has been in mine love the interior, even though its only cloth, and they love the way the dash sweeps round you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprasteve Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 just sold my wifes FTO after owning it for 3 years. Quite possibly the worst car i have ever driven. she had a manual (not tiptronic), the gear box was aweful and an effort to get in gear into 1st and 2nd. The fly wheel was so sensitive it made driving in traffic jams a nightmare. As for the engine admittedly she only had the 2.0L v6 GR version (not mivec) but there was absolutely no power and had to rev the nuts off it just to get anywhere. It sounded like it was going to explode past 5,000 revs and all this from a car that had only (supposedly) done 40,000 miles. The bodywork is extremely tinny, when you shut the boot you thought it would brake. It handled pretty well up to 50mph but anything over that was scary. On the plus side i think they look very sporty for a little car. The GR model is basically a complete and utter let down to drive for me, however i would like to drive a Mivec for comparison.

Tricky-Ricky Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Yeah if you have ever sat in or driven an FTO then quite how they can accuse the Supra cockpit as being disgusting I'll never know, but i guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder;) Also the fact that the FTO mimics both the Supra and the Rex that there trying to choose from cracks me up:eyebrows: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Do behave Martin. I think both cars are gorgeous. I also think that FTOs are just trying to be Supras and failing badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missile Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Im shocked. Supra and Pig ugly together. Feel hurt. Do love a nice RX. Mate has a black one. And to come from an FTO Owner tut tut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchan Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I also think that FTOs are just trying to be Supras and failing badly. I've thought that before now, but I usually get shot down when I suggest it! There's also a guy at my work who reckons his V6 FTO is quicker than my TT. His only comment after I took him for a spin was "a bit slow isn't it". One word for the likes of him. Tit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supracharged Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 well i sold my fto to buy my supe (mivec uk ralliart modal 2001), and really only brought it in the first place because i couldnt insure a supra at 18:) i thought it was an excellent car, nice interia quick for what it was and sounded awsome although i had moded it a bit. i like the look of the facelift. mine was one of the last made though so some of the problems had been ironed out. the gearbox (manual) was just awfull - i could never get it in first without stopping for a second or two. some pictures of a nice fto (to compare) http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?username=warrenpayne As for supra or fto - thats just silly, supras are just so much better in every way:d:d:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
how_supra Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 probably better if I kept my opinions to myself.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
