Theres no way in Hell that the New 500HP Supra thats coming out soon is going to be under $30,000. Who comes up with this crap?

http://www.detnews.com/2004/autoscon...f03-323632.htm

If that were true eveyone would have one. I just picked up an issue of Sport Compact Car and its states the new Supra will be around $100,000. I'll scan the Magazine so you all can look. Oh and for the Mazda Speed 6 they stated its only going to hit 0-60 MPH in 6.6 Sec. Thats hopefully its incorrect but I'll post the page too. What do you all think?????

sometimes the media stretches the truth or fills in the gaps with opinion to give a picture a reason to be printed.

If you actually read the article, you would have seen that's not what they said at all.

they said....

I hate it when people don't understand what they read.

Dude are you stupid or something? The whole article is wrong! Everything in the article off of that web site is false. I hate when people like you come around and try to make other people look dumb, when your really making yourself look dumb. It's going to have a 480-500HP Engine and will be priced most likely over $100,000 Why don't you read what's in front of you!!! Maybe I'm reading it wrong and if I am I apologize but I have the magazine in front of me that I trust way more than that site.

The article states plain as day that TOYOTA says that the 06/07 Supra will have a 3.5L engine and be aimed at the $30K sportscar market. And that's far easier to believe than a $100k Toyota.

The 500HP engine will never make it to mass production.

Mazda quoted a 0-100 km/h (62 mph) time of 6.6 sec for the Mazdaspeed6 at the launch in Paris. For the same 0-100, Mazda Europe quotes the RX-8 at 6.4 sec. Most real auto magazines got 0-60 RX-8 times of 5.9 - 6.0 sec. Draw your own conclusions! :D (Aside from the fact that the article quoted the wrong statistic for the 6.6 time - again, that's for 0-62, not 0-60.)

It's all speculation at this point, if everything the car mags wrote about prototype cars was true the RX-8 would have 280hp. Get a clue man, you're making youself look foolish, again.

You're SCC article entitled "2007 Toyota Supra" makes no mention of the supra within the article. It talks about a TXS concept, offers up rumours about the V10 power plant and cost, and mentions that it will likely be lexus badged. The article isn't about the supra at all. It could be about the Lexus LF-A concept though.

The internet article reports "outrageous guesses" about the V10 power plant hidden within the pictured mule. In another paragraph, which means a seperate idea, they mention more realistic, but still rumored, stats for the next supra.

You're understanding of what you read is wrong. Which begs the question "Dude are you stupid or something?"

Apology accepted :D

I am sometimes but don't like to admit to it. LOL Ike I never make myself look foolish..... everyone makes mistakes, EVEN ME and I don't mind being corrected. That's why I apologized. But your MR. Perfect right? That would be very dumb if Toyota does an 100,000 Car. Your guys are right, I dont think they will. But why would they even stat it? I mean That a big difference in HP and Price!!! What do you guys think of the design?

I think this looks a lot like that mule....

It wouln't be such a bad Idea for toyota. They don't really have a halo car. They do have a formula 1 team, so if they're pouring all that money into a racing program, might as well have a supercar to bring that feeling to the public.

They just did a story in my local newspaper an said they tested it @ 0-60 6.1.
but all cars from the dealership are not created the same
