Is the Supra MK5 Better than the MK4?

The year is 1994, Toyota releases a 4th Sportscar called the “MK4 Supra” and you’re super excited since this car looks amazing with it’s Inline-six and the two turbochargers made 325 Horsepower and 324 lb-ft. It’s amazing for a sports car from the year 94’ It’s really hard to compete with other Japanese branded cars like the Nissan V-Spec Skyline, Mazda RX-7,Toyota AE86. Just to name some.

It’s a must for all JDM car enthusiasts, since the feel of shifting into 1’st gear into 2’nd then just stepping on the pedal and seeing how fast you can go by stepping on the gas and going. Manual cars are just dying. So that’s what we wanted to see with the new Supra but unfortunately Toyota didn’t give us that.

Prices for the A80 is around $30-32,000 for a right hand manual transmission supra. But for the GE Supra. You’re going to pay a hefty price of $50-60,000 for just the car without any accessories. It’s a lot to think about since it’s
