Comments:
Originally, this Turbo A Supra was a boat. High weight and low power just dont make a good sports car. And the suspension was made of jello. By reducing the weight by nearly 270kg, and boosting power by 70bhp, the Supra brought its power to weight ratio way down. As a result acceleration is improved, with power availible all over the rev range. The suspension was given a massive overhaul, but biased slighty towards comfort, to keep the car's character intact. Braking ability is improved greatly over standard thanks to uprated disks and pads. This is a very fun car to drive, with some 2nd gear drift when you boot it. Have fun with it!
