On the subject of weight:
Supra:1998 6-speed manual Curb weight, 3,445/3,505 (W/O and with Sport roof) http://www.mkiv.com/specifications/98_brochure/
3/S:1994-1999 Curb Weight : 3760 lbs (coupe), 3995 lbs (Spyder)

So yeah, the extra 300lbs over a Supra makes it a complete piece of crap that can't get out of it's own way. |
What do you mean? You can't cut down on some weight buy pulling out the 120lb front seats? The 40lbs rear seats? Maybe decrease some weight from that 60lb front hood?
Let alone the heavy ass rims from the factory.
Yeah you are right, my car will be a 4000lb turd
.
My heavy turd should weigh about 3600lbs with driver, and cage. Still heavy, but not that bad compared to regular high performance cars. Not economy focused sport compacts, cars that were designed to compete in a racing series.
