The funny thing is the REAL reason I ever bought my supra was becuase of the GTR......turbo inline six motor. I fell IN LOVE with the SOUND the motor makes..its just the sound straight six turbos make.......just the sound!
That sound came from this video, the first ever video of a GTR I had ever seen......the Exvitermini car running 1000whp:

after that...
.....I wanted a GTR....but of course you really cant get one now unless your rich and can wait....so then I opted for the supra...
My friend showed me the REDLINE video for the supra....then I found out about the motors that the two cars shared ( the GTR and Supra)...the inline 6 turbo. I wanted to know more...and somehow get my hands on one
the mk4 was out of my budget so I stumbled onto the mk3 community around 2001 right before the start of this website....and believe it or not I was lurking arond SM and SF for QUITE a while before ever posting or being a member......I still had my 2002 Civic Si, I bought in 2001. :nono:
To be honest, 3 years ago I never new or remembered the mk3 supra....and never new it had an inline six or a turbo inline six at that...until a guy in my city brought out his 500+hp one with everything you could imagine from HKS on the car......it was a beast...chirped 5th gear at 120 mph....
I fell in love. :love:
And I can thank the GTR for making me fall in love with inline 6's and showing me the way to the mk3 supra community! You guys and our cars are some of the greatest and most successful japanese sports cars to date. The racing heritage has been everything but forgotton...there was a time that the GTR was getting beat by the MA/JZA70's on the circuit and drag strip.
