Daft question

Im just coming to Supra ownership from having a 200sx and notice that most of the Supras are automatics.

 

Just wondering if the automatics are still driftable or if it totally wrecks the experience ? Are they still slidey fun? Does the gear box kick down when you dont expect it and you cant hold a drift?

 

Cheers for any help

it can be held in a gear and can drift as there is good power available.......however i found 1st a bit too harsh for normal roundabouts and 2nd sometimes too long a gear ie you are not high enough into the rev range with normal roundabout entry speeds..........you may be ok if your a bit more of a committed/experienced drifter....

 

Also just in case you didn't know some auto's don't have a LSD.......

oh, didnt know that.

What autos dont have an LSD ? Is it an age thing or a model thing?

 

What should I be looking for.

Was wanting a supra with about 380bhp +

Cheers

I had a 200sx S13. Great fun but the supra handles a lot better. Not ideal for drifting if you are entering competitions but you can have a lot of fun at junctions and roundabouts. Manual would be a better bet but autos hang tail very well

most RZ auto's don't have them though they were available as an option on all models some some RZ's will!

 

best way to tell (unless its beeen changed at a later date) is via the chassis plate..........
