SexySallySupra Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 My mate keeps saying that a supra and soarer are pretty much the same car (eg.rover 25 same as mg zr but just looks better) is he right or is he pullin my leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Same basic chassis I believe. Im pretty sure there are some engine similarities too, but not the 320bhp twin turbo setup the MKIV Supra has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonR Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 The 1JZ Soarer has two turbos but they are parallel rather than sequential. It’s also a 2.5 rather than a 3.0. Stock power is 280. The turbos are ceramic for fast spool, don’t know about the Supra’s turbos. The Soarer is also about 300lbs heavier than the Supra, I believe.

Gamer Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Suspension and brakes are inter-changable. The engine is the 1JZ-GTE (as seen in some J Spec JZA70's) I enjoy mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 the soarer..... is this the car that all supercars were designed from ? (as I remember reading from a while back *doh* ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is a bit longer, we have what we like to call back seats and a boot. You should try it sometime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Yes it is a bit longer, we have what we like to call back seats and a boot. You should try it sometime PMSL, but then we would feel like any other standard car........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 They are very similar but aimed at different markets. I used to have a Soarer 4.0 LTD with all the toys. My brother has it now. There are many aspects of the cars that are the same but far more diverse than the Rover/MG offerings which are just badges stuck on. Before you ask, I love both the Supra and Soarer and wish I had space for one of each, or maybe more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
