3,515lbs!! Why the hell are MKIV Supra's so heavy?
Weight is the killer in any good sports car, so why would Toyota make the MKIV so damn heavy? They're not big cars by any means, I just don't understand what it might be.. I'm looking into buying one within the next couple years and was wondering what could be done (MKIV specific) to lower that massive curb weight --------------------  |

that big 6cylinder motor, beefy tranny, drive shaft and rear diff all add up to a lot of it. then stuff like bigger brake rotors, etc all add up.
