Third generation of the Toyota© Supra. Released in the US. in 1986.5, untill 1991. This model Supra remains the most flexable model to date. With options for a turbo charged inline 6cylinder engine(1987+) it had plenty of power to move the well equiped chassis but heavy chassis. Excellent traction from a independent rear end with one of the only all around SALA modified McPherson strut suspension OEM on a Japanese vehicel. Sale did poorly due to high cost, but it was a revolutionary vehicel for its time, and still remains a very potent condenter in street racing scene.
Base line models were naturally aspirated with a hard top, but still boasted a 200hp power engine and all the amenities of a GT such as Air coditioning, power steering/windows/seats, heated glass & mirrors, 16" wheels.

Motor Trend's 1989 New Car Buyers Guide.
"It weights 300 pounds more than a Corvette yet it feels smaller and lighter. It establishes a 0.87g lateral acceleration, yet it produces a suppleness of ride the Corvette cannot approach."

Get the Insert Child's Name Here mug.Award given to the person who is not really distinguished in any particular area. Synonymous with the "Good Sportsmanship Award," the "Keep up the Good Work Award," and the "Attitude Award." Used as a self esteem booster.
While little Jacquelyn received two first place ribbons in the 100-meter-dash and the swimming race, young Becky donned a "Good Effort" ribbon and a "Best Bubble Blower" ribbon. (NOTE: I, the writer of this definition, actually received a bubble-blowing ribbon. Best in my whole camp.)
