RE: why do imports get 15 mpg and run 16's ??
watch out with the jap comment there... toyota is the #1 car company in the world rite now for a reason... and the new supra has a pretty huge engine in it... actually its all eninge.. so really its a muscle in a since... and yes it will be made in the good old US of A.... Japan is a much more technelogically adavnce society... rice is the car model... its a way of life more so... its a term used to tell some one they have a goddly *** ulgy POS sitting in there drive way... the soon to be new supra has a bigger engine that hte ne of hte late model mustangs... i believe a 6.0 or somewere in there... and it would be just as quick as the new sheleby.... but oh yea... got no forced induction on it... an it dont look bad at all... (opinion obviously)... dont get me wrong... im a mustang kid... since was 5 and saw a green cobra converbtile... forgein aint rice... ive seem more cavalars and neons riced out that most forgien cars to be honest... neway i was just throwing a heads up on the whole jap slang if u all dont believe be about hte supra ill look for liteauutre for u
Edit:... its a 5.0 not a 6.0 engine... so thats all the better... rated at 450hp with the Lexus IS350 and GS350 drive train... word is there pushing it bak tho... they were sayin late 07... now its more of an 08 thing...

lol honestly they already have but its not in every day vehicels cuz its not need (so they think) they are far more technelogically advance so nething you have since a US company do... such as your big block the japans could do and they do... just not as often and only for large machinery... trust me the USA would be feel with Made in Japan **** more htan Made in China/Tiwain?...etc if we could offer Japan... dont get me wrong the old big blocks are a lotta fun... but i would put my money on a new supra with a simple after makert TT(cuz a big block will be modded as well) over a big block stang across the boards... drag/drift/curciut.... w.e. u can think of...nothing sounds like hte big block tho... TT spooling up is nice too tho... lol so many ways to win.... to bad im poor haha
