I laugh at the "strong brakes" comment. Those 10.5" single piston front brakes are good for about 1 stop from 100+.

I also laugh at their fuel economy.

God created man, just so man could create the LS1 and Marvel Cinematic Universe.

This was a thing? Why don't I remember this. Wonder how many they actually sold with this package.

How about the RAV4 being the fastest Toyota for a while?

The sound they make still makes me turn my head when I hear one. Too bad it’s rare to see a “nice” one these days. Usually beat up or super riced out.

Could be a sleeper in the clean/stock market eventually.

That 1994 money Supra would be about $77K today with inflation. I hope the next gen Z sees FI.... and it could be while the upcoming Infiniti Q60 (former G37) is getting a 3.0L TT V6...

I was shopping Supra turbos back in ‘97 They weren’t kidding about insurance. That was what ultimately dashed my plan. Insurance cost was just as much as financing. I was looking at getting a used ‘94 and my monthly payment with insurance all in was over $1k. That was stupid money in the late ‘90s. I ended up buying a ‘97 Dodge Dakota sport (5.2 Magnum/3.55 LSD/5 speed) brand new instead. Including my ZX9R, my insurance for full coverage was $250 every 6 months!

The Dakota may sound like a lame choice, but it was a drift machine, and easily got rubber in the first 3 gears. First year or two it got thumbs up everywhere I went. Had a 3/5 drop, body matched handles, bumpers, rear roll pan, rowdy exhaust…sounded like a NASCAR.

What became of the ZX-9R?

I had an 05 that ran mid 11's at 124. Man I regret selling that one.

 

[Ron Vogel]

Lol…Enron.

Enron owned the company I financed through. After 2nd year I had no place to send payment, no way to get title.

So 2001 came along and my first kid came along. Started losing interest and was only taking it out for track days. About 2004-05 we moved into a new house and sat in the corner of the garage, and gathered dust since we had our second kid and no time for it.

I was in between jobs in 2005, and ended up parting it out since I didn’t have a title. Only had 16k on it

I always wanted my parents to get one of these

Olds and gm tried so hard with the aurora and it just never took off as well as other Oldsmobile models did in the era.

The second gen v8 aurora’s were nice cars but still never sold as they should have.

Had a 1st gen '98 (which was better than the dumbed down, smaller 2nd gen) and it was one of my favorites. I know people here didn't like them, but I did. Fight me...
