Wow you are lucky. If the new Supra comes out I would still want that 2JZ-GTE. I've wanted one for SO long.

Well I hope it's true. B/C TRD promised us a turbo IS 300 and well, that never came.
Also, I place my bets that the base Supra will use the V-6 to be used in the new GS 300 and IS 300. So those cars will be considerably quicker as well.
The V-8 will also be used in a future Lexus. I can't see 1 V-8 engine only for the Supra. IT WILL be shared with some other Lexus/Toyota product.


I really hope these rumors are true. The Supra owned (hell really still ownsz) all Japanese sports cars sold here. History will repeat itself.

I think value will hold. Simply b/c of the 2JZ. It will take some time for the aftermarket to mod the new Supra close to the MKIVs.

Theyve been sayin that 4 years.. I remember right after I got my 1st MKIV in '00 there were rumours the MKV would be out the following year. Ten months and 10,000 miles later I was able to sell the car for $2000 more than I paid Like wantAnew said I'll believe it when I see it. BTW congrats on the MKIV, what year, color, stock/ modified, etc... ?

Down the line you'll have to let me know how you find it as a daily driver. I used mine for a daily driver for about 5 months and then had to switch back over to a Sedan(GS300). The reduced rear visibility/ harsher ride made me decide to use it as a weekend/ secondary car thereafter.

I've been reading that Supraforums post, pretty interesting stuff. Some good points in favor of a MKV becoming a reality.

1) Toyota dropped the MR2 and Celica from its lineup.
2) Toyota has been spending boat loads of money on every type of racing.
3) Everything Toyota does, they do for a reason.

With your track record for cars, I don't think it'll remain stock for long.
