To supra or not to supra?

HI all,
I got an 82 celica, and am looking at selling it and buying an 85 mk2 supra. I know the australian supras got the 5me, but i assume its got more guts than my 21ru..But how much more?? anyone ever driven both?
I love the look of the supra, but all the pics i see are from a low angle, does anyone know if it looks cool from a normal angle?
Any help would be great.
Thanks, andy

Buy the Supra, then put a real engine in it. You'll never look back.

That would convert anyone!
I love MA61's, the only thing holding me back was the 5M. Just after I bought the MX83, an MA61 with a 7MGE popped up in the local rag for $4g I think it was

tho imo it isn't a lot of an upgrade in terms of performance,

I disagree. An MA61 will outperform an RA60 in all aspects. Sure the MA61 is still pretty slow acceleration-wise but that's only part of the picture when you're talking about "performance".

Doooo eeeet!!!
From going to an MA61 from an ra60, then back to the ra60..... I cannot wait for my next MA61.
You wont be disappointed, just make sure you plan for an engine swap post haste... minimum requirements = 5mge
Cheers,
James

What happened to teh poo brown supra?!
And minimum - 5M-GE if you don't mind my integra beating you.
Get a 7M-GE/1JZ-GTE.  Then you wont have to explain to anyone how a FWD Honda beat your mighty MA61.

5M-E's also drink like a fish, I'm not sure how the 21RU goes on Fuel, but the 5M-E likes to guzzle. But it's got IRS

I can concur with Alchemist that the 5M Drinks like a fish... Check out my past posts in regards to the 5ME. 5MGE would go better and be more fuel economical. Currently my 5ME drank me out of house and home...
Cheers.
