I have had my supra for just over a year now and like two weeks ago I
finally got to ride in a turbo car. The only think it did for me was make me wanna go broke boosting my N/A.

my car started out as a n/a, my first ride in a turbo was when my motor swap was done. I think i need a twelve step program. Or 5-10 more grand in the car then i will be ok.

I had my first Turbo Supra drive about a month ago when I got my white Turbo running. It runs like ass, I'm sure, compared to most turbo's but HOLY CRAP!!!

First it feels like my N/A, then you hit 2750 rpms and you feel a little something... and it doesn't stop.... and it keeps pulling harder... and harder... and you just dont want to shift. I made both my parents LAUGH OUT LOUD. Neither of them like sports cars or are car people at all. Both were uneasy about me buying sports cars, but I think both of them thoroughly enjoyed me taking them for a spin in the Turbo Supra. :)

God I love these cars. :love:

I actually like my N/A about five times more than the turbo. I know exactly what IJ means when he says he'd rather drive a clean N/A than a beat to hell turbo.

I want a clean turbo, but I really do love my N/A. I plan on keeping it until 300k. Maybe even 400k

First real ride in a turbo car was the night I bought mine (I rode in Boost Lee but he was breaking in a motor on a dying turbo, no boosting) and I still get cold chills and split chins thinking back to it!

Well my first rides with a turbo were short, but like the third ride was to a dragrace :D (A friend loaned the car to me). It sure was cool, but I wouldn't die for it.
