hoff Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I've just been reading the issue of Japanese Performance and noticed they finally seem to rate the supra as they should. Towards the back of the mag they often have their ratings for the top jap cars. All the skylines, evos and imprezas have always had a 5 star rating. Where as the supra always came in with a 4 star rating. I always thought this was daft considering the supras looks and tuning ability. Especially as the supe comes out the cheapest as 3 spent per increase in BHP. I think the increase in stature with them is a testiment to some of the members on here who have had their cars featured in the mag. They have shown how great the supra is:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 However you got to remember that evo's and imprezas out number us so they want to keep them happy. Hell I bet skylines out number us as well. For me the main big boys of the Jap high performance cars are Supras, Skylines and NSX' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that it only changed from a 4 to a 5 because they found out there was a TT version. Idiots Scott =op Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraAyf Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 That is great news Hoff;) I wrote a letter to Chris Rees (Editor, JP) last year stating that the Supes 4* rating should increase to a 5*. It was published in JP's Readers Letters but I can't recall which month it was. A good victory for the club:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As temperamental as the engines may be, they are truly one of the best timelessly designed exteriors ever built. Not to mention great performance. Supra wins in reliability though for sure, and looks aint half bad either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
