the Supras have never had a brilliant reputation for great handling - .


Err you did read Norbies post right? 18 year old MkII keeping to within 3 or 4 secs of standard WRX's?? I'd say thats pretty good handling! Also i've driven a couple supras, namely the celica/supra, A MkIII (3litre) i think? It's the one before the JZ engine series i think it was a 89 or a 90. And these handled really well with the standard suspension setup yeah they are quite heavy and you do feel it thru lots tight turns but i've never driven one that has understeered like you mention i would definately say the suspension sounds like it is really worn out. The ones i've driven have been relatively easy to hang the arse out around corners and control it. Even the old celica/supra. I imagine it would have been a bit of beast in its day. You have to remember its all relative. Of course the old mkII supra's handling isn't great compared to todays standards but think back 18 or however many years ago when it was made!

Cheers
