well 2 cars from early 90's stand out to me as before their time.

 

Supra had the curves early

also

Mk3 Fiesta, the curves on that car were also before its time

 

But now with all the future cars having sharp lines and corners etc... i think the supra is starting to show its age. The best example i could use is the new honda civic, fiesta, C2 etc...

 

what do you guys think?

dated my ass, they look shit hot!

The j specs are looking dated. Especially with a featureless bonnet.

 

I believe "wide ones" look better balanced than thin stock j spec ones with skinny tyres.

 

what the f**k! the uk spec bulge was dated before it even came out lol. Agreed some bonnets are better still and the trd one is nice.

 

Who the feck wants dildos either, get a grip lol

Did you read pump gas petes sig??

 

How can 769bhp at the hubs be sluggish!!!

 

chief how many horses do you need to not be sluggish??

Its not exactly stock UK spec though Darren is it? :) In fact, I reckon it is more Japanese than a J-spec.

Fires dying down so Ill stoke the flames a bit.....

IMHO some body-kits actually date Supras rather than freshen them up. Standard Supras, without rear wings (maybe a small boot-lip spoiler) but with decent wheels on slightly lowered springs look as good as any current performance car. Like I said IM(humble)O.:)

What makes the Supra look dated IMHO:

 

JDM headlights that go yellow.

Crappy placed fog lights.

Headlight washers look old fashioned compared to new ones.

The fact is has a telescoptic aerial.

Stock alloys, still look ok when clean, but dont exactly set the heart racing.

 

But thats it to me, the rest of it still looks fresh.

 

Pete, gimmie the pics fella :)

That explains the old lady asking me about my my 'Capri' the other day then!

 

:lol: Unlucky! Most non-car enthusiasts I speak to are suprised that it's a 13 year old car, I think it's one of those shapes that although it'll never look "modern" again, it'll never look properly old like cars in recent years that tried to be too drastic with their styling.

 

The interior on the other hand.... oh dear ;) The sea of black plastic and the rubber handbrake give the age away!

As Cj said, I was referring to stock as the thread implies stock - I think. Plus I was just having a little laugh about the old jdm v uk spec.

 

Probably needs 768.5 at hubs to push the lardy UK :D

 

I'm not a horse person so I dont need horses, I am a slug and always will be :innocent:
