i'm looking for your guys's help here.
Im getting kinda burnt out on mk3's and im wondering if you guys have any comparisons or would like to compare the mk3 with a comparable car.. similar features etc... but not a boat.

i have a few supras and i am kinda getting tired of how huge they are.. and kinda want something a bit smaller, with a straight 6.

Im looking for something in the late 80's thru mid 90's era..

Does anyone have any ideas???
thx

Here are a couple others I wouldn't mind owning.
87' Buick Grand National
93' GMC Typhoon
91' GMC Syclone
89-91' 5.0

If you are looking for a luxury car, on the cheap, look at 96-99 cadillac seville STS. (I wish I would have never traded mine in :cry:)

240sx, Cressida, SC/GS300, and RX-7 are alternatives to me from when i left my mk3.

i've owned some of these and they were all fun. I still own the cressida though =]

if u want smaller, straight 6 and less weight. I'd go 240 juts because there is a lot of aftermarket for them and you can put a 2jz in it =]

But horrible to work on...

Any of the other generations of supra.
Old ass Jags (good luck affording)
Tons of BMW's

Not a whole lot of straight six engines out there to tell you the truth...

Yeah, it's certainly different from the Supra, but it's totally worth it. :) Once you get the common problems out of the way, it's a fantastic car!

I was looking into a 1972 datsun 240z straight six 4speed.. it was super nice with 60k original miles..

It looked like a fun car but i dont know much about them..

Might you try your hand at a kit car, like the locost, most use i4, but an i6 has been done.

now thats a nice car..

I wish US had the ford falcon.. i beleive AUS has it.. its like a 4.0 straight six turbo i think..

Im still debating of which car to get.. MR2 sounds soooo nice to have but then again ive never owned a rear engine vehicle... Its #1 in my list right now.. #2 is ae86.. #3 is mk2
