Any thoughts?

Saw a 94 today.. thought it looked pretty neat.. Heard some nice stats..

Like 300bhp rwd...any body tried one?

Monster machine. Didn’t really like the look of them but they can sure move.

I'm a big Supra fan myself, Speedboy (on the forum every so often) had a non Turbo one for a while, my pref would be for the GZ TT (obviously!)

They're definately mean machines - and IMO they look awesome..even standart..

a bit like the FTO..

Looks good if you modify it well
Looks good if you don't modift :-)

Quite a jump pricewise though - then again...quite a jump performance wise.

Would love to actually try one - to see if they handle as well as they look..

drive by a red one quite alot down in ringsend, and its amazing looking i think,
and with a 3lt twincam,where would insure that?

I'm pretty sure that to get one of those monsters insure most would have to go through one of those 4000excess companies :-)

by **gtoirl** » Wed Dec 21, 2005 9:59 pm

There are few companies around that will do it, maybe for a price, but they will do it.

Those new excess policies look like an interesting option though.

by **Dave** » Thu Dec 22, 2005 9:16 am

you don't get any no claims bonus with those policies as far as i know.

by **saoirse32** » Thu Dec 22, 2005 11:57 am

so what would you be expecting to pay on a car like that? would it be more bacause its a high performance car?
be interesting to see if QD would quote it :lol:

I see that one all the time - don't like the front bumper but apart from that it's well done. The guy tried selling it a while back but I assume couldn't get a buyer.....

Around when I was looking for an FTO I did insurance quotes from 123.ie, supra quotes were coming out cheaper than FTO quotes, which I thought was mad at the time considering the Supras were more powerful!

Nice looking machine, never been in one though.

I had the same experience a few years ago, madness altogether.

yep, today on bestquote.ie, so that's not pulling in any favours from my current company, and there are a few other things that are annoying me about the car apart from the turbo....

if i do consider this it won't be till june/july of next year!!

by **Mustang** » Thu Dec 22, 2005 5:35 pm

I just got a quote of €1797 on a TT with Britton insurance. That's 3rd party F&T

Thats cheaper than the quote they gave me on the FTO this year by about €150.

They would not issue me an online quote but I'd imagine if you rang them.....

by **gtoirl** » Thu Dec 22, 2005 6:59 pm

Just got a quote of €1643.28 from bestquote for a TT Supra.
That's ok, They wouldn't quote me for my current car

by **IrishPhoenix** » Fri Dec 23, 2005 7:59 am

123.ie have a special premium for sports cars...

http://www.123.ie/motor/quote_xs.htm.

So for me on a RZ twin turbo its £980.39euros with excess of £4000. fully comp. :shock:

Or £2050, with excess of £300.

Britton insurance was the same - £960.39 with excess of 4000

by **saoirse32** » Fri Dec 23, 2005 12:26 pm

maybe it could be, because the number of fto's on the road compared to supras.....
more accident claims going in against the fto, therefore may be bringing up insurance, would that make sense at all :?:

by **CByrne** » Fri Dec 23, 2005 2:41 pm

What year did they stop making the Supra?
Would love to have a spin in one, I know its great in a straight line, wonder how it handles tho...

I don't know, I see more supras on the road than FTOs. Being an FTO site we generally hear about FTO crashes but not Supra bumps, and even thats a pretty low number. Even less go through insurance methinks. I'd be surprised if there were more FTO accidents.

So what's the general View on the Supra?
