I was looking at an autotrader and found a 94' TT supra for sale. It only had 64k miles on it. It was said to be stock so I am wondering what the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times were for that car when it was released. Also, How limited in production and availability are they? They seem rather difficult to find as I look.

 

I know the stock 0-60 time is 5.0-5.2 secounds. I think the 1/4 is in the mid 13's. I don't have production numbers, but it is limited production and good clean ones are hard to find. Beware there are many scams with selling Supras I heard it is very easy for odometers to be rolled back.

 

Here are the numbers as published by Toyota:



Yes, I do have this poster in my office, and I bought it in 1994.

 

But what's the gas mileage?

 

18/26. I can scan the Mulroney sticker and post it if you like. I have that too.

 

What I would have done to be able to buy one of these brand new Had a MK3 and it was sweet wish I had the money for of these.

 

I was making $33k a year when I bought mine in '94. Trust me, it was a sacrifice, but well worth it.

 

Funny how The Supra managed to do 0-60 and 1/4 mile in about the same time as the IS-F even though the technology is 15 years older and about 100 less hp... True legend.

 

Have you heard of something called "GOOGLE"?

 

I wish toyota would bring back the supra now!!!!!

 

I wish they never made that "...." movie with a Supra in it.

 

Probably 0-1 airbags vs., 6?
No ABS?
No traction control
Less space
No nav
etc.

All the above adds WEIGHT to the IS-F which is why it's not exactly a fair comparison.

 

For that time, 320hp was a lot for an import car right off of the production line. Same goes for the FD Rx-7 and 300zx. They had impressive numbers from the factory as well. Those cars were my dream cars when I was in middle school.

 

While the IS-F does weigh some 300lbs more than a Supra TT, the Supra did have ABS and traction control. The ISx50 is quite heavy as a platform (3500lbs just about the same as the Supra) to begin with. It also isn't a fair comparison because they're quite different in target. The Supra was an overbuilt all out sports car, hardly luxurious. The IS-F is a high output sports luxury sedan.

I would say it has something to do with the fact that the Supra TT had a manual transmission able to throw a lot more of it's power down. Given the IS-F has lockable gears it is still an automatic which does reduce the actual power to the wheels.
The Supra also had an LSD.

 

the Supra had:
-ABS
-Traction control
-Driver and Passenger airbags
-3,445lbs curb weight
-0-60mph in 4.9s
-0.98g

the IS-F:
-96+hp more (a decent bit more if u use the same standard as was used for the supra)
-56+ lb/ft of torque
-Driver, Passenger, Head, Side, and perhaps more airbags
-4 doors
-3,780lbs curb weight
-0-60 in 4.6s

15 years...and 0.3s, granted, the IS-F is a lovely car, but until toyota comes out with a true purpose built sports car, you can't really compare....
