QUOTE (Random_Stranger @ Oct 3, 2009 - 2:22 PM)  QUOTE (CAMAricer @ Oct 2, 2009 - 10:07 PM) Hmmm....it's the old Supra vs Skyline debate....a car with new technology and superior comfort versus an icon with superior potential. Pros of the G35: Admiration from older adults, VIP style, modern technology (traction/stability control, GPS, more airbags), AWD (on some), better availability of parts, quiet interior Pros of the Supra: Admiration from teenagers and college kids, boy racer style, huge potential power, higher retention of value Cons G35: Not a unique car (price drop for used ones are allowing everyone and their mothers to buy one) Cons Supra: Not a unique car (anymore, face it, what every you do to a Supra, it's been done a thousand times over), it's old and parts are getting harder to find, finding an unmolested Supra is hard Personally, I'd choose a G35x (if price were the same). Modern technology, cleaner/quieter/better looking interior outweighs icon status any day for me. That's funny you say how the Supra doesn't "appear" as anything special to older folks as far as admiration goes. My crappy Celica with GT-Four exterior even turns the heads of people in BMWs, Jags, and just about every luxury, sport, and modified car in my city, breaking their necks as I drive by (old or young, doesn't matter, and when I say old, I am even talking gray hair in these puppies). I even had an old man in his 60's or 70's try to race me in his Jag X7 or something like that (which he would have killed me). So with that said, I am sure the Supra is more impressive to look at vs my car. And who cares if it has or hasn't been done. Not many people can say they can get their hands on one so easily. With the majority of people wrecking them being spoiled rich and thinking they can handle one with discipline until it is Fubar'd, it just makes it even more worthy to have stick around and protected, as it is an endangered species. In fact, with that said. OP, if you want a car to modify and try to speed on places you shouldn't be doing so. I am going to say "DO NOT GET THE SUPRA". I would hate for you or anyone else to wreck another one. Now if you want a nice, sporty, sexy car to DD and take good care of? By all means, take on the Supra. Just don't go Fast and Furious on her (unless you are on a course and can easily repair her unlike the damages of these on the street), please. That's my .02 Yes...you do have a valid point. I get those "turning heads" in my stock celica ST haha. Boy does it feel good....that is until a EVO or someone tries to race me hahaha. I think I just need to test drive both of these babies to make a firm decision. |
